Dr Sketchy's in August
Our models this month were Gigi Frost and Little Red Coquette.
I finally managed to convince a bunch of my friends to come this month, too, which was lots of fun. None of them had been there before, and at least some would like to join me again.
Slacking
So I skipped a week due to being very busy. And then I skipped a week 'cause I was on vacation. And it was a good and lazy vacation, full of reading, and doing a good (and needed) job of not worrying about anything. Until then end, when I felt guilty for not doing any drawing (which is good for me, and not really "work" per se), and I sketched a slight likeness of my cousin, who we were visiting, and Steven when he fell asleep with his book.
Dr Sketchy's is this weekend, and I think I've finally managed to recruit a small handful of people to join me. Should be lots of fun (and doodles) to be shared.
A Nerdy Dr Sketchy's
Yesterday we had a very nerdy Dr Sketchy's. Our model was Devilicia D'Amour (and I kept drawing her legs too short). She came in in head-to-toe silver costuming and body paint, and dressed as Robo Marie Antoinette with an iPod.
After much stripping we switched from 1/2 minute poses to 5, and she brought out her Cyberman helmet and Sonic Screwdiver. Only a few of us got the reference, I think, but it was much enjoyed by all.
Then we had some 10 minute poses with a dude wearing a monster head and playing a guitar, but his poses were limited (although he was playing for us), and I was glad when the silver lady came back, this time with a space suit and some tubing.
The zombie/monster/alien ate her arm, and then she took him out with some laser beams.
The silver was a lot of fun to work with, but I lost a lot of detail in places where her costumes just became too crinkly to clearly differentiate everything. But she was all shiny.
Inspired by Aliza's (the person who runs the local Dr Sketchy franchise) vague plans to try and have an art show of Dr Sketchy drawings sometime, somewhere, Steven and I were discussing possibilities of my making cheap prints of the sexy Cyberwoman to see if I can put up with my other stuff at Pandemonium (probably not familyfriendly enough, though), and/or have available at Pi-Con. He also thinks I should try doing some paintings from them.
Long Weekend
I skipped last week due to crazy image editing. The prints are really almost done now.
I drew some people in Davis while waiting to meet up with Steven and Josh the other night. And someone on the bus, and Steven and another person napping near the Esplanade where we waited for the fireworks.
Also, I just hung some of my new and old prints for sale at Pandemonium Books and Games in Central Square. Go patronize your local gaming store (unless you're not local, sorry), and check out the art. Two other people (including Katie Harpin) are showing there, now, too.
Guen is the cutest cat...
I sat down to draw Steven while he was reading something for homework. He kept moving, so I never got the angle right for his chin on his hand. And then Guenhwyvar decided to settle down on my arm that was holding my sketchbook. She's a cutie. And apparently much better at posing.
