Figure Drawing and Sketchcrawl 17

I [finally] went to a figure drawing session this weekend! The model was a dancer, whom I have drawn three times previously. He had, as the woman behind me mentioned, the physique of a "Greek God." That was it, I had my focus for the night: I turned all of his poses into something that may have come out of an ancient Greek Battle.




With my art origins coming from comic books, his body was fairly easy for me to draw, a nice change.

I know its a week late, but here are my two favorite sketches from the Chinatown Sketchcrawl


A few crawlers and I decided to all sit down on some steps across from this classic Chinese architecture to sketch it. As I'm pulling out my sketchbook and brush pen, the two people next to me pull out a Clintiq wacom pad and a nintendo ds lite!! There I am, sandwiched between two people doing a digital painting. I was in complete awe at the technology! Guess I'm still old school with tangible pen and paper. Although I have been contemplating getting a nintendo ds to do digital sketches on! We'll see...


The sign above this cute little bakery really caught my attention, with all the rust and peeling paint now masking the once glamorous sign
