Art Journal

ON MARCH 15TH, 2013 I STARTED A PROJECT IN WHICH I Do ONE DRAWING PER DAY ON MY PERSONAL ART DIARY. THIS IS STILL GOING STRONG TO THIS DAY

This has generated more than 3000 drawings (and counting) and allows me to explore different styles and drawing techniques I’ve admired through the years. The themes go from the highlight of the day to any story from my past, but the objective is to never go a day without sketching. Over the years I have experimented with different traditional mediums such as ballpoint pens, microns, colour pencils, and watercolour markers. This is a selection of some of the drawings that have a special meaning to me from each one of the diaries I have already fully completed, but before that…

We started Sunday by visiting a small planetarium in Kyoto with the family, where we saw everything from fossils to lovely omens. Later, my wife and I split up for lunch at Bikkuri Donki, then we reunited to enjoy the Kasuga Matsuri, snacking at the food stalls, and wrapped up the afternoon . . . . . . . . . . . #capitanperu #captainperu #KyotoAdventures #PlanetariumVisit #FamilyTime #BikkuriDonki #KasugaMatsuri #StreetFoodLovers #FestivalVibes #JapanJourney #CoupleGetaway #TravelMemories #CulturalExploration #WeekendWanderings #JapaneseTraditions #MatsuriMagic #FoodieLife #KyotoJapan

Sketching done with ballpoint pen and finishing details done with Micron pens on a Canson sketchbook. In this book I decided to increase the amount of coloured pens used to 10, and also explored with watercolour markers.
