These are my sketches.
This morning only TETSU and I showed up at the meeting place. So two of us hang around near meeting place until other members come. While walking around, we saw interesting ship at Hinode-pier. This ship is called Atakemaru http://www.gozabune.jp/
Soon we knew this ship was about to cruise in fifteen minutes! We hurried and drew it.

It was like racing against time.

At the pier there was an ice cream shop. I had LYCHEE WITH LEMON SYRUP and it was really good!

Next I drew parking lot.

Then I drew a street where you can see Tokyo Tower.

Then we had lunch.

After 14:30 or so, Akiko Ina and Juny came and we headed to Zojoji temple.

This place is really beautiful and lovely but the only thing I was annoyed was MOSQUITOS bite.

This is a belfry.

It all looks great! I'd like to sketch in Japan one day.
Why are there tables in the middle of the street? Isn't that dangerous?

This sketch was drawn in a hurry by the thing said drawing before this melted.

There are a lot of warehouses in the sunrise wharf.

There are a lot of fashionable buildings around the wharf.

eyes - Thank you :thumbup:

Maki - Sorry about your stomachache, looking forward to seeing your garden drawings.

gnyp - Hope you can come and sketch together sometime. As to tables on the street,
this Ginza street become car-free zones in the afternoon on weekends and holidays. During that time those tables and parasols are provided and shoppers and sightseers enjoy strolling and relaxing.

TETSU - I like your warehouses and temple drawings especially.

Sophie - Thanks a lot :wave:

Here, this is Emi Muto aka Miyako's elaborate pencil sketch.

Tokyo Sketchcrawlers...

You appear to have a fun and talented group there. So many complimentary styles. Of all the groups, yours is one of the first I went to check out. I was here a few times earlier but am only now posting comment. I have gone through all the world sketchcrawl 32 threads and enjoyed so many, but keep coming back to yours. You even had me googling the Tokyo area on Google maps trying to figure out exactly where your sketches were done. Hmm..

in my opinion, you each have a great eye for colour and composition no matter what you sketch. This makes for interesting art. To me art is personal, so I look at every sketch, painting etc individually. I like what I see on your site.

Keep up the great sketches, I will keep checking back regularly.

Thanks

ps: The green tea shows up so vividly and clearly on my Mac screen, I can almost reach out and taste it.... :wink:
