The Muse

Went to another session of Dr Sketchy's tonight. The lovely Muse was our model.

Also! on the side of the blog now is a link to my facebook fan page! I'll be posting updates from here there, so if that helps you keep better track, there it is!

Dr. Sketchys and SOCA

SOCA! We had a pair model for us. I tried a few new ideas for how to do these, and the first one of using watercolor and colored pencil flopped, so I went back to using pen. I was sick this SOCA, so these aren't too accurate, as I was like "buh, wish I could breathe and hear..." haha. I tried to focus more on value and modeling rather than anatomical perfection (obviously). I think next SOCA, depending on the model, I'll be focusing on parts of the form, and not trying to draw the whole thing. 

 And these last two are from the last session of Dr. Sketchy's. It was a voodoo theme, and the model Rio bought her adorable pet snakes with her to model with. They were so cute! The first one here was a challenge of trying to draw her as she was dancing, since our model is also a belly dancer.

figure week.

The only two poses from SOCA I really cared for. The last one my friends said we should all draw her as a cool demon chick so I did. Despite not being on the ball that session it was lots of fun.

From the session today at Dr. Sketchy's RVA. Our first male model (Parker Galore). He was lots of fun to draw. Did some great poses, and had some awesome costumes. This page was just 5min a piece, and I was working more on just loosening up rather than being dead accurate.

My brush pen ran out of ink so I had to move over to using a brown micron for the rest of the session. Gladiator gear!

The second pace was a Pan costume. I took the mask and made it his actual face. We had to draw him with some other mythical creature in a setting.

Same thing with making the mask his actual face. The unicorn was actually a hobby horse. I BSed what little horse anatomy I knew to make it a real unicorn. :P

Penny Get Your Gun

Went to another Dr. Sketchy's session, this one was a western theme. The costumes, especially the second one, were a lot of fun to draw, and definitely not something I get to do from life often. Model was the lovely Pretty Penny, one of our local burlesque dancers.
