Dr. Sketchy's Life Drawing

Monday, 14 June 2010 06:35

I'm a bit slow putting this up but a few weeks ago I went to another Burlesque style Life Drawing class in the city called Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School. Its the second "class" I've attended and I would highly recommend it. Its very relaxed and fun, the models (that I've seen) are lovely and really in the burlesque spirit.

This picture was part of the competition at the end (chosen by the model and the rest of the class) and won me a neat little book of photographs from the International London Burlesque Festival (2008).

The model started the class with a burlesque routine as a sassy 50's house wife with great laundry themed props, authentic point bra and everything!

She changed at the interval to a sort of Wine Maiden/Goddess...

My love of Alphonse Mucha's Art Nouveau style seems to have crept in with the costume change. I still feel horribly out of practice but it was a really fun afternoon of drawing and I will definitely be going again!

Life Drawing

Monday, 17 May 2010 09:32

I recently went to a life drawing evening Ink and Lead held here in Melbourne.

Not a traditional life drawing class more like a pair of Burlesque show girls slowing down their routine enough for us to draw them. I'm very out of practice but it was fun. I should make sure to get there early next time for a better seat (seating was very limited).

I'm going to try to make it a habit to go to more "classes" like this to keep my skills up. So hopefully more sketches should be appearing here soon!

Game Character Concept Sketch

Here's a sneak peek at something I've been working on. Not giving anything away, this is the first cleaned up concept I've done for the main character for a fantasy game proposal. I hope to get some free time to develop the design more...
