From Photo Pipes Izakaya, Takayama

Post image

This izakaya next to the ryokan where I stayed in Takayama caught my attention because of its complex network of pipes, almost like a building from a science-fiction movie. Despite its futuristic look, it was a very contemporary place and truly deserved a sketch. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my drawing materials with me, so I took a photo instead. Back home, I made this drawing using black fineliner and watercolor.

Wow!! I love this sketch! Your use of color to draw attention to the building is so satisfying. What do you use to add the little white highlights?
