Dr. Sketchy Redux

More from my Saturday at Dr. Sketchy. I was pretty tired after drawing frantically for three hours. Chatted with the model at the finish, and she was pretty tired after posing all that time! This was her first experience as a life model, I gathered. I think if you do it more often, you develop stamina which helps you hold some poses more comfortably over long intervals.


She's thinner than this. I guess I can say in defense I was making her R. Crumb-like.

One thing, when I'm working hard on a drawing, all sense of the model as a sex object goes out the window. It becomes more of a problem of geometry, trying to get all the shapes to work, and see the relation of things. Then afterwards, hopefully, hubba-hubba, but I don't think I'm habitually a "good girl" artist. Though certainly like drawing "cute."


Lots of women drawing in the audience. That's supposed to be a guy, lower centre, looking close at his paper.


She was totally smashing, and sitting next to me for a time. She didn't seem to mind my drawing her.

Don't know if I'm coming back right away. It was a little crowded, and I had to be a bit of a pain to find a good location (but I was late). Still, pretty good discipline for someone such as me, having to perfect my human figures. So, who knows?
