Random Ginza / Tokyo Crawl
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 9:19 am
We had 3 international sketch friends that day: Richard from NY, Steve from Tennessee, and Ali from Pakistan.
We met up in front of Wako blg. one of the iconic building in Ginza and while all the members to show up, we drew the street view which were crowded with shopping bag- carrying people ( obviously they bought them at bargain) or those who were just about to go shopping...

Then after lunch, we spread to find something interesting to draw, Steve and I looked for somewhere to visit as a first visit of the year. We went to Mistukoshi department store on the 7th floor, there we found Shusse Jizo (Guardian Deity),and worshipped at it. Then found a nice table at the terrace, there we sketched until our meeting time.

Later 2 more friends joined us, in total 9 people roamed from restaurant to restaurant to find a table for 9. Then as is always the case, we spent time with fun sketch battle. We drew faces each other and exchanged them ( when we could) over the meal.

That was a short and busy sketchcrawl in the end. But we had so much nice times exchanging our secret of sketch gear, had good laugh.
Thanks for your company all! See you sometime soon.
