Sketching our studio room in watercolours

If you follow me on social networks you probably know that we (me and Kana) moved houses from Tokyo, Waseda to near Enoshima.
Setting up our work space anew took us some time but I could finally sit at my desk yesterday and start painting again.

The first thing I wanted to do was a sketch of our small studio room at Waseda that we just left. I wanted to draw it only from memory so I had to move fast - before I forget where everything was.

This illustration was inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki and especially his watercolour paintings of airplanes, tanks, and fantastic machines where he meticulously marks everything of interest. I love those illustrations even though his writing is intelligible half of the time (even for Kana).
