On Saturday we treated ourselves to seeing Solo (the Star Wars film) at the Directors Club (a fancy cinema in the nearby mall, where they have lazy boy chairs!). I drew this while we waited to go in.

Mall
757 – Pipes and ducts
A quick sketch at the mall last Saturday. I wasn’t able to finish it properly because a cleaner decided to park his trolley right in front of me! Behind the food counter was an incomprehensible array of ducts pipes and unknown bits and bobs…but I drew them anyway.

740 – Signs of life
Here is a sketch I did on the weekend at the mall – somehow it seemed such a cheerful and colourful scene. Apart from the signs in the drawing, the title comes from an Arcade fire album I have been listening too a bit obsessively.

674 – Guards and shoppers
A view of the mall in SM Pasig from the Krispy Kreme shop – heavy on the perspective! Despite the place being painted in beige and grey, colours seemed to appear to me.

672 – Corner of the coffee shop
On Sunday, after doing some shopping with my daughter, she convinced me (without too much difficulty) to stop and have a donut and coffee. The glass walls make it look like this guy was surrounded by crowds when in fact he was in a quiet corner, absorbed in checking his phone.

#647 – Roof from Krispy Creme
Today my wife and I indulged in some donuts and some sketching together, after our weekly shop. This is a view of Tiendesitas mall over the road from where we sat.

#623 – Chinese New Year in the mall
It’s Chinese New Year (last Friday 16th) and the mall where I do our shopping had decorations up – couldn’t resist drawing these yesterday…trying to capture the shadows cast onto the ceiling and column. Happy New Year!

#601 – Fresh paluto
Today, after I’d done our weekly shopping I had a moment to sketch a scene at the food court of the hyper-mart. I doubt many people look up but there are odd shaped lights and a green and blue circular skylight over the whole area. I think fresh Paluto means “freshly cooked”…I am sure some of my Filipino friends will correct me if I’m wrong!
