“Sketch my Tokyo” is my ongoing art project to sketch every interesting spots I found along all 280+ metro and subway stations in Tokyo. This project will last for years.
Find my sketches
Whenever I finish a new sketch, I will put it on the map and represented with the corresponding subway station. Clicking on the station will display all the sketches on that area.
Someday this map will filled with all those colourful 280+ subway station dots!

My pens and tools
I mostly use fine liners and fountain pens. I really enjoy using line qualities and thin / simple strokes to define details in my sketches. But sometimes I will go crazy and use a very loose / abstract approach in my drawings.
Traditional and/or Digital?
I draw on both traditional media and on iPad (Procreate). I still believe digital art cannot reproduce the spontaneous and unexpected essence found on traditional media. For urban sketching I mostly use paper / sketchbook. My iPad will become my playground on exploring different pens and new media.
