Sketch Book: Arcade (Japan)

This was done when I was last in Japan. I was sitting with Rob having a coffee in an arcade in Namba, Osaka. A place we went to quite often while our stay there. It is loud crowded and lots of people shouting to grab attention from potential customers, flyer and tissue distributors and pachinko parlors. I was taking all this in and thought to myself someone could possibly have an information overload just walking through these arcades. So I made a sketch while there sipping on my 3rd refill of coffee at Mister Doughnuts.

This is another page from my trusty moleskin!
I call this Glance (glancing in a mirror to check out how intimidating you are, hahaha)
It is line work with Pen and then I painted it with acrylic paint.

This one is 'Ladies of the Night'

Go down one block
Look left then right
What is it with this atmosphere
It's the ladies of the night
They bring you mystery, love and lust
The softness of their bodies, oh what a delight.
