42nd World Wide Sketchcrawl at Nagwon Music Mall, Seoul

The subject of musical instrument market such as Nagwon Music Mall(낙원 악기 상가) is very exciting and of absorbing interest to urban sketchers. I used to go there and sketched a lot of colorful scenes with our sketchers several times. Nevetheless, each time I sketched at the very place, I got in the fantastic mood as if to visit for the first time. I'll always visit the attractive place and sketch in a fantastic mood whenever I can.

국내 최대의 낙원 악기 상가는 재미있는 그 주변의 풍물과 더불어 음악 40년 추억과 낭만의 명소입니다. 그동안 여러번 스케치를 했지만 갈 때마다 새로운 느낌으로 살아납니다. 
악기를 그리는 것은 집중, 관찰, 컴포지션의 고민이 따라오지만,  신비스럽고 매력적인 음악의 분위기 속에서 그림을 즐길 수 있는 축복(?)의 장소라고 생각합니다.

For the first time in the new year, I went to sketch the Times Square located near Yeongdeungpo Station. "Yeongdeungpo Times Square (영등포 타임 스퀘어)" is one of the largest shopping malls in Korea, and boasts of a major symbol of urban living where commerce and leisure come together in a mix of modern conveniences as department stores, hotels, shopping malls, and cultural spaces.
I drew some sketches from place to place excitingly around such a gigantic complex building.
