Tokyo storefront #01

[@aishahosman2465]

I remember seeing this illustration on pintrest when i was looking at building references. It's wonderful to finally know who the artist is. love your work!

[@fotoScentfx-zr6kl]

I’ve bought one of your storefront books, last year in 2023. I’m glad to have stumbled on your first Tokyo Storefront video. I’ll be watching the entire series. I need a break from all the YT drama😅😊❤

[@buhaynimaria]

This video is about 2 years old now, but in case you still didn't know, the conversion of old buildings to new functions is architecturally termed as adaptive reuse, which is under heritage conservation. I am also an admirer of heritage buildings, and I'm glad you are too ♡

[@frogger551]

now its four years old :) i hope you have a good day.

[@buhaynimaria]

ratatoowe e Four years and still inspiring! 🌿 You have a wonderful day as well!

Man, I'm glad to find the artist of this masterpiece. I searched up some tokyo storefront drawings and your illustration popped up, I have it as my wallpaper.

[@lineh4034]

I lived in Tokyo for 6 months and I always did pictures of these cute buildings to draw them. I bought this piece from Society6 and it is a perfect memory of Tokyo. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@mattjabbar]

Thank you!

[@Atrapadoenelsistema]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge of watercolor! I bought your book for a present in one library of Toulouse, France. I know artists get very little amount of the total but I'm glad to have contributed with something!

[@mattjabbar]

Thank you! Actually the book profits help a lot! 👍

[@anghiesims30]

I love storefronts , love your videos 🥰

[@ColleenM61]

Wonderful! And your use of colors is superb!

[@mattjabbar]

Thank you!

[@heyno9383]

Talented af I didn’t know I needed japan and watercolor together until today 😭

[@phant0m0th_]

There are a lot of beautiful buildings and places in Tokyo and Japan in general. I hope to visit someday. Where I live there are many rundown shops that haven't been renovated. I'm sure San Francisco would have cooler places to look at though

[@dandydoodles4537]

Yay!!! I've been searching for months now, trying to find another channel that has the same style as me. I'm going to Rome and Florida this summer to learn how to improve and work with resources and try to include more detail in my drawings! I'm so happy I found you! You did a great job by the way, I love it.:))

[@mattjabbar]

+Dandy Doodles Thanks!

[@lovebaking2503]

[@juIiusz]

Love from Polish Squad ❤

[@TodorVankov]

great work :)

[@BIanked]

your videos are amazing! can i just ask what pen are you using for outlines

[@Ritamcreativeart]

your tokyo store fronts painting is great but please draw a Japanese traditional home

[@flaviobandido7464]

I was waiting for an old sushi storefront drawing ...

[@fatimasharw]

your work awesome :)

[@daisynguyen307]

thanks, I love this.

[@lechi757]

I just wanted to ask, how do you make it so that the ink from your fine liner pen doesn't mix with the watercolours? Because whenever I fine line my work first it always mixes with the water and the colour. Thanks! Really enjoyed ur video

[@_NguyenLeUyenNha]

Your video is so good😘😘😘

[@bigboyanimation3799]

These are beutifull colors, how much time i must practice to color my drawings like this? Because i use photoshop to color my drawings but manualy i cannot color like this

[@svmik]

super! bardzo mi sie podoba ta seria, pzdr

[@mattjabbar]

Dzięki!

[@がんも-s9z]

最高です

[@alexvalerianoyucra5452]

good iluatration spcials

[@kunturisettecinque3975]

amazing!!! ;)

[@HaveFunRespawningHD]

you should try and draw with a pilot g2, vs the copic pen see the difference in the art? lol just curious

[@keto.sensei]

sugoi!!

[@GardenArcade]

awesome video like always! do you think you will ever do longer videos with the process slowed down?

[@mattjabbar]

+SirFluffyFox Thanks! I did slower videos before. And I will try do more when I will have more time for editing, now I'm quite busy at the studio so I'm just using my iPhone's time lapse thing so I don't have to fiddle with it afterwards.

[@GardenArcade]

I gotcha, Every time I watch a video I want to try doing watercolour and today might be the day I attempt to! :)

[@ilikepie21234]

Will there be more? [im asking this cause i know yyou said yes i just love thi] I posted this video on my tumblr wow your my inspration.

[@mattjabbar]

+ilikepie21234 Thanks for sharing! Yes there will be more of this series (at least 10 pieces I think). Cheers!

[@Pomelo.Digital]

Hey Mateusz! I'm interesting in purchasing your artwork on Society6 but have a question first - what does the japanese wording on the photo say? Thanks!

[@JanineA]

Super love your art!

[@mattjabbar]

+Janine The answer is no, but when you do start from the brightest parts it's really much easier. The dark colours when painted over will bleed (a lot sometimes) so it's impossible do achieve some effects this way. If you just paint like me (colouring in basically) then it is possible. It's best to experiment and see for yourself. Paint the same thing twice and check ;)

[@JanineA]

+Urbanowicz ウルバノヴィチ, Mateusz マテウシュ Ohhh :) noted! Thanks so much! You're an inspiration! :):)

[@abelteh3538]

Can I know what kind of art is this? I really like it

[@mattjabbar]

My art? I don't know really. The closest description I can think of is watercolor line and wash architectural painting?

[@levinhale8584]

hello!! i was wondering if youve tried holbein bc its more common in japan? any reason you use schmincke instead? lovely videos as always!

[@mattjabbar]

I have and use it for general sketching. It's the paint that Hayao Miyazaki uses ;) I just like the intensity and balance of the Schmincke sets. Also the artist's version should be lightfast for longer time.

[@tytrack71]

love this >

[@leftclot]

beautiful (:

[@mattjabbar]

+Leftclot Thanks!

[@patriciadelgado92]

Hi! how do you do to put your illustration on your website? do you scan them?? your videos are really nice, greetings from Chile c:

[@mattjabbar]

I scan them with pretty big resolution 800dpi with a Canon 9000 MKII

[@patriciadelgado92]

+Urbanowicz ウルバノヴィチ, Mateusz マテウシュ thank you so much! c:

[@Icecold_Art]

Ostatnie pytanie, czy ten papier jest "hot pressed"? U nas w Polsce niestety nie mozna dostac praktycznie niczego ze stajni Holbein, aczkolwiek mozna kupic water ford z St Cuthberts Mill, mozliwe ze to na nim sie wlasnie wzorowali. Jest to jednak dosyc drogi papier i chcial bym zamowic cos takiego jak tym czym Ty Mateuszu malujesz, bo z tego co zdolalem zauwazyc nie ma tu mocnej tekstury, co swietnie nadaje sie do ilustracji i ulatwia skanowanie. :)

[@mattjabbar]

+Paweł Fotek Ja używam tego papieru między innymi właśnie dlatego że tekstura nie jest zbyt mocna więc mogę rysować linie tuszem nawet piórem czy stalówkami. On jest średniej klasy, 12 kart F6 kosztuje tutaj ok 4000Y czyli jakieś 140PLN, taki Arches to dużo więcej kasy. Z tego co wiem to ten papier jest robiony w Anglii i tylko sprowadzany i formowany w bloki przez Holbein więc to może być ten sam.

[@Icecold_Art]

Jesli jest robiony w uk to musi byc ten sam papier. Sytuacja jest tutaj bardzo dziwna, gdyz kupujac waterford w luznych arkuszach wychodzi znacznie taniej, ale juz za blok 20 stron trzeba zaplacic tyle co za dwa 12 stronne bloki arches, czyli mamy 4 arkusze wiecej w jednakowej cenie...dziwna sprawa. W kazdym badz razie bardzo Ci dziekuje za odpowiedz, jestem teraz wielkim fanem, z akwarela dopiero zaczynam wiec sporo moge sie nauczyc z tych nagran. Dziekuje :)

[@premk7433]

What are the pens that you use?

[@mattjabbar]

all the details of my tools are on my website mateuszurbanowicz.com in the TOOLS section 👍

[@biplobdatta6243]

nice

[@makewithmegma]

👌❤👍

[@karynamanuel6986]

I saw your art on Pinterest years ago. finally found u! do you do any lofi art?

[@mattjabbar]

Nope but we listen to a lot :)

[@rraa5774]

Dose this kind of sketch have a NAME?

[@mattjabbar]

Pen and wash or ink and watercolor maybe? It's just my style so I don't think it has any official name ;)

[@霞-f5v]

вау

[@Julleeeeee3]

What’s this artstyle called?

[@mattjabbar]

Mine ;) I think it can be called an "ink and wash watercolor illustration" :)

[@Julleeeeee3]

LOVE IT

[@jasmineli5463]

Hi could u include a tutorial? Like why did u Color it this way what's the technique

[@mattjabbar]

Right now, because of studio animation work I don't have much time to make more complicated videos, but I plan to make tutorial videos later this year so stay tuned!

[@allenl9214]

Mateusz Urbanowicz awesome work.. could you recommend some study materials for beginners to try and learn at home

[@mattjabbar]

Hmm, I don't use any learning books. I recommend just buying books of the artists you like and study them deeply. I have art-books of studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai movies, Hayao Miyazaki Books and comics and Oga Kazuo's books for example. This is a frequent question, I will have to do a page about this some time.

[@jasmineli5463]

Alright thank you for recommendation, will check them out!

[@abdullahceka3613]

where is your website please?
