Sketches

I often make a sketch of things which I see in my daily life.

I like drawing because I can do it everywhere 
with just writing materials and paper.

I usually write in mechanical pencil. I used to write in pencil when I was a child. This pen writes well, so this is my favorite one.









scissors

I carry scissors in my pen case too but I do not have many opportunities to use them these days. Although I like drawing and manual arts, I am not good at clipping straight with a scissors.

bottled green tea
(drawn with a mechanical pencil)

There are a lot of kinds of bottled green tea in Japan. This is a popular one. It was hard to sketch the parts of logotype.









a mobile phone

I have used this mobile phone for three and a half years. Most people are surprised at the time length. I will buy a new smart phone this summer.

komainu




Komainu
(made with a pencil)

Komainu is a pair of guardian statues which stand at the entrance of a Shinto shrine. A pair is made of a lion statue and a Komainu statue, but we often call the pair Komainu altogether. Strictly speaking, this sketch is not a Komainu statue but a lion statue.









cherry blossoms
(drawn with a pencil and colored pencils)

I like cherry blossoms. When I see them, I realize the coming of spring. Although they seem pale pink from a distance, they look white at close range.





sakura
gerbera

My mother grew it in a plastic planter pot. Gerbera has some colors such as white, yellow and pink, but I like the red one best.
