That time of the month again for the Boston Edition of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. This month’s model… the talented Sarah the Statue (seen above in her magician and pirate persona).

Katya
Posted by trev | Filed under Figure Drawing
The drawings above were from the latest edition of the Boston chapter of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. This month’s model was the talented (and remarkably flexible) Katya.
It should be noted that the third image above was done for a contest where we had to draw the model as an 80 year old Olympic champion with a rather larger goiter on her neck. It stuff like that which makes Dr. Sketchy’s such a blast.

Here are some sketches from the July edition of Boston’s Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School from a couple of weeks ago. Kudos to the model, Dalya DuSunshine, who really brought a lot of energy (and cool wardrobe changes). I think she smiled more than any model I’ve drawn at a Dr. Sketchy’s.

Atomic Trash
Posted by trev | Filed under Sketchbook
The drawings above are from the latest Portland, Maine edition of the Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. Our models for the evening were the performance art duo Atomic Trash, who put on a great show. The only downside was that the ladies offered so much great material that it was hard to do them justice in such short poses (typically, two to eight minutes each).
Oh, and for the curious, in the drawing on the bottom left the model is holding a baby narwhal. I think that basically explains itself. If not, let’s just say you had to be there.

Dr. Sketchy’s – Boston
Posted by trev | Filed under Figure Drawing
Finally got to the Boston edition of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, held every month at Great Scott in Allston. The models this month were Lilly Bordeaux and Ms. Sassypants from Rogue Burlesque, a local burlesque group. As usual for my Dr. Sketchy’s experiences, a good time was had by all.
A number of the poses involved both models at the same time, and that took a while to get used to. It definitely increases the pace of drawing, especially when you have to consider wardrobe as well. It was a fun challenge. I look forward to going down to Boston to get more of my Dr. Sketchy fix in the future.

Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School
Posted by trev | Filed under Figure Drawing
On Sunday evening, I was finally able to drag myself to a session of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. For the uninitiated, Dr. Sketchy’s is an attempt to spice up figure drawing by introducing a bit of burlesque (and the occasional alcoholic beverage). It started in Brooklyn, but quickly spread all over the country, with New England sessions in Boston and Portland, ME. I made it to the Maine edition.
Check out my drawings above to get a feel for the event. Most of the poses are about the same length as my regular figure drawing sessions (ranging from two to 12 minutes), however drawing an elaborately clothed model really doesn’t leave a lot of time for messing around. Most of the drawings I did were on done on marker paper or in one of my moleskines with my trusty Pentel brush pen and a Tria marker for some tone. For longer poses, I would quickly block in the figure in pencil.
Thanks to Lord Byron, our model for the evening, as well as organizer Katie Diamond and the fine folks at the North Star Cafe for making it a fun night. Next on my to-do list, check out the Boston edition!
