Months have passed without off-line sketch meetings. But passionate sketchers keep posting on-line without off-line regular meetup sketching. Last Saturday, usk Seoul held a regular sketch meeting at Euljiro in downtown Seoul. Euljiro has long been a hub of Seoul's industry and business, and residential and commercial facilities coexist, and transportation is very convenient with subway line 2. Especially, it is interesting to see the old and new things, the harmony of preservation and development, history and future changes in Seoul.
I first started sketching crawl from the old Bangsan Market around Euljiro 4-ga. Soon after, an old shabby Japanese style house in the alley of the market caught my eyes. Then I sketched quickly it before the truck leaves,. After lunch, I walked down the main street and went up to the second-floor deck of Daelim Arcade on Euljiro 3-ga. And I sketched a bridge connecting Sampoong Arcade and a building under construction nearby.
At last, avoiding the shower, I sat on the stairs of the subway Euljiro 1-ga Station Exit.I sketched colorful buildings around Sogong-dong crowded with famous department stores.
What a nice day to sketch outdoors in the natural air!
Hope you all safe and hard situation to be ended soon.

팬데믹으로 움추려 오던 몇개월이 길게 느껴집니다~
조심스레 그림도구를 펼치는 을지로가 반갑습니다.
길고도 평면적이고 하늘을 솟는 높이가 특징이지만
을지로의 틈새공간과 거대한 덩어리속의 세포분열은
역사 문화와 모듬살이 삶에서 변화하는 과정같습니다.
전통시장, 상가, 조명과 쇳덩어리, 영화세트 골목과 빌딩들..
이곳저곳 그리면서 인간미와 기계음이 섞여 돌아가는
을지로는 쉴틈없이 살아 움직이는 스케치 테마 공장입니다~
