Here is my latest sketch from the latest Dr. Sketchy’s South Jersey event.
The model is Miss Rose and this pose was for 20 minutes.
I enjoyed the Halloween theme for this October session… cuz Halloween is the best holiday. It should be a national holiday. Maybe even an international holiday. Probably should be an intergalactic holiday.
Anyway, $10 to draw girls for a few hours…still the best deal in America.
Want to know more about these events?
If you are wondering what Dr. Sketchy’s is all about well, it is described as an Anti-Art school and the world’s premier alt drawing movement. Artists draw glamorous underground performers in an atmosphere of boozy conviviality. Found in 2005 in a dive bar in Brooklyn, Dr. Sketchy’s has now spread to over 100 cities around the world.
Who started DR. SKETCHY’S you ask? It was founded in 2005 by artists Molly Crabapple and A.V. Phibes. It’s been run solely by Molly Crabapple (and her cadre of awesome helpers) since early ’06.
Are you wondering who goes to a these events? Lots of people. Fancy pants gallery artists, art students, dog walkers, jewelry designers, tattoo artists, illustrators and cubicle slaves. We have about 40% non-professional artists. Slightly more girls attend than boys.
Listen, if you like figure drawing but are tired of the usual models, then check out one of these events. The themes change regularly and cover most areas of nerd culture like: Comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, gothic, pin-up, and Renaissance. As an added bonus many of the events either have alcohol available or allow you to bring your own. The only way you won’t have a good time is if you’re a jerk and you try really really hard not to have fun. So, find an event near you and go.
