My wife and I went to Little Tokyo for dinner tonight at Oomasa Restaurant. It's a great place for sushi. I was looking at the sushi bar and noticed the ornamentation of the overhang. The lighting exploited the beauty of the laquer finish of the wood. I couldn't pass this one up with a sketch. Woop here it is!

You are a blogging maniac! I've never seen so many posts of run-time work in one day! Before even reading the title I knew where this was. You captured it well. Did you work off of a digital photo or paint out of your head? It's pretty hard to paint a dark scene accurately, but this one looks great! I love what you did with the warm-cool interaction of color. We should swap brush techniques sometime. Also, maybe you should add some customers to give the scene a bit of bustle. Things like subtle steam coming from green tea cups and sushi chefs mingling gestures with the people. Now I'm getting hungry.
Good work dude!
Thanks Stu. I had the luxury of bringing my camera that night. I was out collecting reference for my library yesterday. The sketch was done from photo. The bamboo post was out of my head. I need to do that more to train my color senses since it is poor.
Howdy Yam!
Nice comp you got there! I looked at your site again and it's already got a ton of stuff man! Keep it up!
Hey D!
Thanks. This blog thing forces me to sketch something everyday. I can't wait to see what you come up with soon.
