Sketchity Sketch Sketch...

Okay, so during my entire tenure with Kaman's, and even during school, I have been about the laziest piece of filth. I didn't draw in my spare time, I didn't sketch, when I should have been drawing at every opportunity. Maybe it's the residual inspiration from the convention, or maybe it's the talented artists that live here in philly with me, or maybe it's just the city's art scene, but for whatever reason, I have really enjoyed drawing lately, and I've actually done sketches.

Nothing you would call finished, and nothing totally outstanding, but the fact that I'm drawing from life and situations is just very refreshing for me. So, as Josh told me, I should be updating this thing, regardless of how little I have to post. So I have some sketches to throw up here. I've been experimenting with markers, specifically grey, just trying to get some simple shadow in my stuff. I've always liked the clean and simple look it gives to life drawing.

Last night, there was a really neat sketch party of sorts. This company, Dr. Sketchy's, is nationwide and does fun drawing sessions. For 15 bux, I get all the alcohol I can drink, and I get to draw hot burlesque models in fun costumes. I couldn't resist, and I had a blast. So these are a few of my favorites from that night. Five minute, and twenty minute poses.

So yeah...fun stuff. My favorite is the Christmas one. Great pose, great colors and costume. It was fun. :) Marlo was there, and won a poster with the model's autographs on it...she didn't want it, so she gave it to me, which was awesome. Thanks, Marlo!

Then, tonight, I went out to the hookah bar with my brother who just turned 18. And it's a perfect place to draw people in fun poses. Or just find a bunch of great fashions and faces. I spent more time drawing than smoking. these are simple, but I like them.






That's all for now, folks. I'll just keep drawing, and who knows, maybe I'll eventually get around to doing an actual illustration. I better just be thankful for this for now...
