Drawing On The Tokyo Subway


I was trying to observe the Tokyo styles and how they differed from Osaka, and one gal and her friend who were waiting on the platform had an interesting look that felt similar but also divergent from Osaka. I wanted to make sure I got all the details so I pulled out my phone and started sketching roughly, and an older Japanese lady next to me was so enthralled, she let out a yelp of glee when I showed her (which was so cute—she squeezed my arm before leaving the train, which I thought wasn't very Japanese to touch a stranger). To be fair, it's a terrible finger-painting sketch, but I can use it as a basis for a better sketch later.
