some figure drawings of talking scenes at a coffee shop

After lunch, I dropped in for tea at McDonald's located in Jongno-2ga, Seoul. While drinking a coffee, in the seat facing me many people were talking with somebody in different poses. 

I sketched the figures immediately before leaving their seats.

커피숍에서의 정형 인물 스케치는 약속된 포즈와 달라서 

처음 보는 사람이 언제 떠날지 모른다는 긴장감 속에서~~ 

순간적으로 인물의 느낌을 잡아내는 스릴 만점의 작업 같습니다.

Autumn Sports Festival at Jamsil Auxiliary Stadium (잠실 보조경기장), Seoul

Last weekend, 2013 Sports Festival of Seoul Institute of Registered Architects(SIRA) was held in Jamsil Auxiliary Stadium located in Songpa-gu,Seoul. It was so fine and the skies were clear, numbers of SIRA architects including me enjoyed pleasant time all day, playing football and foot volleyball, having a singing contest, entertaining performance, and so on. I sketched some colorful sceneries from place to place, walking about the stadium covered with beautiful green grass.

2013 서울 건축사 한마음 체육대회는 바쁜 일상을 벗어나 모처럼 한데 모여 호연지기를 키우는 단합 대회였습니다. 유니폼을 받았지만 스케치를 하기 바빠서 대선배들도 뛰는 경기를 바라 볼 수 밖에 없었으나, 스케치를 보고 좋아하는 동료들과 함께 푸르른 가을을 만끽한 축제였습니다. 건축가들이 스포츠와 더불어 스케치와 한마음이 된 날이었습니다.

sketches of Buckhansan National Park, Seoul

One afternoon last week, the weather was clear before sunset, I climbed mountainside of Buckhansan National Park near my home after work. The climbing route, from Gugi-dong to Tangchundaesung, slopes gently and lots of spectacular sceneries made me feel refreshed. During the break while walking the route, I drew some beautiful scenes here and there rapidly before dark.

북한산은 서울 최고의 명산입니다. 아름다운 산봉우리들의 스카이라인과 실루엣을 즐기면서 일상의 피로를 씻고 건강도 챙기면서 힐링 스케치도 할 수 있지요. 사시사철의 변화무쌍한 운치를 느낄수 있는 북한산을 그리며 스케치는 항상 '말없는 스승'같다고 생각합니다.

Namdaemun(Sungnyemun), National Treasure No.1, was built in 1398. It served as the gate through the fortress walls surrounding the downtown Seoul. Moreover it is one of the most recognized landmarks in Korea. Nearby is Namdaemun Market, Korea's largest and most prominent conventional open market. Also within walking distance are lots of modern cultural heritages and tourist attractions. On the 41th World Wide Sketchcrawl, It was fine weather for sketching, I sketched around Namdaemun with Seoul urban sketchers pleasantly.
