Japanese illustrator Hirofumi Hamaguchi takes mundane moments in life as an opportunity to practice his craft. The artist tells Mashable that he considers this method to be similar to athletes preparing for a big game. "To score a goal, to swim fast or to draw a good illustration for a client, you need to warm up," he says.

Hamaguchi shares the charming sketches with his 2,000 Instagram followers. The feedback, he says, has given him a feeling of "good tension." Check out our selection below.
