Supanova Convention Buddies

Having just heard that I have table at OZ Comic Con in July I thought I would share this photo from 2 weeks ago at Supanova Melbourne.

James and I had just arrived home after going to Spectrum Fantastic Art Live in Kansas City, MO. We were both exhausted, I was very sick from travelling.

We couldn’t have made it through the weekend without the support of our convention family

Thank you very much to our friends Nicole for Saturday and Ben for Sunday for stepping in to look after us. We greatly appreciated your help!

Thank you to everyone that stopped by and said hello and to everyone that bought something. You all made it all worth it!

Free Comic Book Day 2017 Artist Alley with All Star Comics Melbourne

Last weekend was Free Comic Book Day and I want to thank the crew at All Star Comics Melbourne for inviting me back to their FCBD Artist Alley this year!

Thank you to everyone that stop to watch me draw, get a sketch and make a donation to this year’s cause – Beyond Blue.

It was especially nice to have friends and family stop by to support me

If I had to pick a favourite sketch from this year I would have to pick the little boy in the headphones.

Teaching Life Drawing Class March 8th Covert Characters

I will be hosting the “80’s Rock Queen” themed life drawing session at Covert Characters this Weds night, March 8th, at Workshop in Fitzroy. I will be speaking a bit about proportion and drawing while observing the figure at the start of the class and answer any questions and providing more tips during the mid point break.

Covert Characters is a great class for anyone new to life drawing or artist wanting to join a causal friendly group to enjoy sketching.

I will be teaching more classes this year and hope to announce them more in advance in the future. Be sure to follow the Covert Character’s Facebook page to keep updated on up coming events 🙂

Examples of my sketches from the last few sessions this year:

Greek Mythology Life Drawing Session

Thank you to all of you that joined me for my first class teaching life drawing for the year! Our fantastic model, John, took inspiration from classical statues for the night’s poses. It was truly lovely to hear that my tips on drawing proportion and observation helped. I was very impressed with the quality of everyone’s drawings that evening.

I will announce when I will be hosting my next class soon.

Covert Character NEON Life Drawing

Last month I had the privilege to attend another fabulous NEON life drawing session at Covert Character. The Workshop space was changed into a black lit jungle. Our models Hamish and Lorelle were transformed into vividly painted big cats by the talented Suedy @JuicyBodyArt (tiger) and Dale Proposch @daleproposch (leopard).

With the large number of artist attending art supplies ran low and I stuck with my humble white colored pencil for the session.
