April Samurai Themed Life Drawing

Last month was crazy! I am just starting to catching up on posts and updates now.

These are sketches from my last life drawing class in April for our Samurai themed session with Chris Masters Mah as our model.

A special thank you to Tristan and Wyman Young for lending us their beautiful wooden katana.

Speaking of updates- I will be hosting Covert Characters Life Drawing tomorrow night May 10th in Fitzroy.

The theme will be Robin Hood. For more details check out the Covert Characters page.

Kiki’s Delivery Service Prints

Kiki’s Delivery Service is one of my favourite movies. She is so hopeful and brave, dreaming and finding her way. The conversation between her and her friend about magic and art needing inspiration struck a cord.

“Stop trying. Take long walks. Look at scenery. Doze off at noon. Don’t even think about flying. And then, pretty soon, you’ll be flying again.” – Ursula

I will be selling prints of this painting at Supanova to go with my Princess Mononoke tribute painting I did last year.

Find me and both prints at Table 74 in the Grand Pavilion!

Psylocke Art Nouveau Prints

When I was a kid I thought Psylocke was cool. Rogue was my favourite but Psylocke was a close second.

Despite her ridiculous costume (everyone looked pretty outrageous in comics at that time) she had dark hair and a sword and wasn’t a villain (or at least only briefly). What little girl didn’t want to grow up to have long purple hair and be a ninja?

Here is my tribute to her as a poster I would have loved to have as a kid.

I will be selling this as prints at Supanova Melbourne 2017 and my other up coming conventions.

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.
