Quick Sketch and Certification

Back from Japan
I just had the wonderful opportunity to spend a week in Japan, teaching some wonderful Japanese people all about Copics. This was my first time in Japan, so I got to travel all over Tokyo and see some amazing things. What a great experience! In honor of that trip, I drew this quick sketch, based on a beautiful garden we visited in Tokyo.

This was drawn with N0, N2, N4 and N6 on a sketchbook (I can't remember which brand, as this drawing was for a friend).

Traveling to other countries and seeing the skill and talent of so many diverse people really reminds me why I love this industry so much. While I can't speak Japanese, art and crafting crosses so many language barriers. We all create for similar reasons. The things we make come from our hearts. I really felt the love from all my new Japanese friends. I hope they had just as good a time taking my classes as I had teaching them.

But, now I am back to my desk, and back to catching up on work. Time to update people on Certification classes in North America.
