It’s been a week or two since the last post, but I’ve been busy, I swear. 
Attended the NYC Dr. Sketchy’s two weekends ago. It was their first corporate sponsered event, an absinthe company. The place was pretty damn crowded….anyone wearing green got a free shot, which is frankly a pretty brave way to do absinthe. One of the helper folks, who was helping work the door, didn’t make it past the first five minute break, and, after what appeared to be about three or four shots in forty-five minutes, had to run/be-carried to the door to spew.
(It’s not a Dr. Sketchy’s if someone doesn’t have to be helped to the door. [cough-Eliza])
In any case, I wasn’t in much of a mood to draw, and it was little cramped, so it shows in the sketches….
The next group of images are from the last session of MICA’s life-drawing class……
And that’s it.
That’s a lot of images. If it makes a mess out of folks’ page-loading, let me know and I’ll make sure not to put that many images in one post next time.
I’m off to play pool now…..I’m fairly certain that means the rest of my night is going to be taken up with snotty, tooth-missing, pool-geeks, hairspray hairdo’s that combined with a match could go all Die-Hard, watered-down beer, and urinal-cake strewn bathrooms. Survival necessitates either drinking heavily or sketching. Just in case I’m going to try both. Wish me luck.
If you’re interested, the next Dr. Sketchy’s – Baltimore is this Monday, July 14th. (It’s a burlesque themed life-drawing session hosted at Dionysus…) Click the link at the right for more info.
Here’s the flyer….

More sketches from life-drawing class.
At this point, I was bored out of my mind. One, some kid had stolen my seat while I was playing with the snack machine, and two, the model’s next pose was basically his big ol’ butt pointed right at me.
Just really not a lot to draw there. I suppose I could have, but I just wasn’t excited about doing a giant carefully shaded sketch of a butt.
So I doodled instead.
I stopped halfway through when the model changed poses. Sometime this weekend I’ll probably go back and finish it and then see how it looks against a Sketchup background or something. Maybe have the little fellow falling off a barstool.
(The sketch was pretty much doodled for that purpose…and the thought of doing a faerie-bar comic book sometime shortly. We’ll see.)
This was the last pose…
Now I was really bored……….I think the model was napping too. When it was time for the break we gave up and left a little early, figuring a pizza and a beer were definitely called for.
Speaking of, unless I get called into work, I’ll probably get some bar patrons sketched this weekend.
Oops, ride is here.
I’m going to split this up into two posts, since there’s a lot of them. If WordPress works correctly, the second should post automatically sometime tomorrow while I’m drinking beers with sparklers in them.
There were two models present…….the long pose model was the only one who showed up first, so I drew him for a bit. After the short pose model showed up (he got lost in the building for about ten minutes) I switched to him for the rest of the class.
The next two are the short pose model…..and yes, that’s a farmer’s tan. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that….if you’re a boy who doesn’t lay out at the pool, you pretty much end up with one by default.)
The other sketches will go up tomorrow…….
