Here is my last sketch from the #UskManila sketch-walk at PICC – and the one I was most satisfied with. My sketching friend @Paul Paul and I found a spot in the courtyard where we could shelter from the rain but still sit outside. This concrete sculpture is another of the national treasures at PICC. Anito seems to be a reference to “an ancestral spirit worshiped as a protecting household deity” – which seems to fit with the totemic style.
