Sketchy Pastels

I went to Dr. Sketchy's yesterday for the first time in months and I was definitely rusty, but it felt good to be back at drawing the figure.  I decided to try using pastels again after not using them for a couple of years, so my results were interesting; sometimes successful, others not so much. The model was lovely, so that was a real treat.

These were taken with my iPhone, so they're a bit speckle-y.  The last one, Shane swears is his favorite even though I got frustrated and smeared it all, so here it is anyways!  Enjoy!

Quick Sketchy's update

Quick update. Caught a really bad cold at the beginning of the month, had an even worse cold front move in that resulted in hours without power, and then a week later my iMac decided it wanted to fail. I don't really have anything backed up (long story), so it's currently at a data recovery shop. Hopefully I won't lose most of my work from the past year, but you live and you learn.

I have my windows open today: 76° and sunny. I'll take it. Things are looking up for the rest of this month (but they really couldn't have gotten much worse). Hopefully I'll have some more work to show soon once I get my iMac back. Hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day!

A new year for more Dr. Sketchy's

Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and new years! Last week, we had an awesome model at Dr. Sketchy's, so here's some of the drawings from that. Enjoy!

Dr. Sketchy's

Just got back from a Dr. Sketchy's session. For those of you that don't know, it's an organized figure drawing club where burlesque models pose in costumes for a couple hours in a local bar. A lot of cities have a Dr. Sketchy's so google it to try to find one in your area! I highly recommend it!

The top I did at today's session and the one below was from a couple of weeks ago. Both are 20 minute studies.



Working on portfolio updates and renovations. I'm looking forward to cooler air coming up in the next couple months; this Texas heat is unreal.
