Dr. Sketchy's "Tiki Session": Part II

Here comes the second half: (as for Mopsy sitting/floating on the left in the first one: I'm obviously really bad at human/chair interactions... need to practice some perspective... and, uh, looking closer? Lalala...)

On a sidenote: that evil Dr. Sketchy's jingle is totally stuck in my head. Help!!

Dr. Sketchy's "Tiki Session"

Today I participated in another Dr. Sketchy's session, this time featuring fabulous Miss Erochica Bamboo and equally fantastic Mopsy Meyers.
Not among my best drawing days I'd say. I wasn't quite happy especially with my results for the first quick poses, but I do like some of the 10 and 15 minute ones (for psychological reasons I'll put one of the nicer ones first, haha!). Here comes the first batch:

Rest of the scans comes tomorrow. Thanks for your patience! ♥

Dr. Sketchy's Berlin September 2012: Part II

Here comes the second batch of drawings from my latest Dr. Sketchy's adventure. It's always such a visual overload (definitely the good kind though)! And the poses are mostly rather short. Impossible to catch all the little details of the fantastic costumes (and models)! And that decision: should I hurry and try to bring it all down to paper? Can I afford a second or two of pure visual indulgence? Of course, I could just focus on a smaller area to draw in detail, but then I'm too greedy, I must capture the whole scene (or die trying)...

This was the longest pose (the only one that lasted for 20 minutes) and I think it's my favorite, maybe.

This one was a shorter pose and for the "contest". We had to add some details to show why "those birds were kicked out of paradise" ("birds of paradise" was the theme of this session). I don't like it that much, though.

Yes, there even were soap bubbles! :)

Dr. Sketchy's Berlin September 2012

Oooh! I made it to another session of Dr. Sketchy's! This time featuring the fabulous Roxy Diamond and Marlene von Steenvag. 
I always find the 1-minute-poses at the beginning a little bit stressful, but on the other hand they're a terribly good way to practice letting go of perfectionism... Here's the first batch of my "results". The second half will follow as soon as I get around scanning them (exam stress - oh noes!).

Nighttime TV doodling

I'm really no good at multitasking in general but I can't watch TV shows without doodling around. These were done during some episodes of Big Bang Theory.

Quick life sketches with the help of Posemaniacs:

The yummy licorice liquor on our table:

Ughh

Life drawings from last week (no more words after 10.5 hours of work *ughh*):

More life drawing - portraits

These are from a very short session one and a half weeks ago. Trying to do some sort of portrait, kind of. The last one of the three was done in three minutes, so don't judge! ;D

Again: I'm sorry for the truly crappy photo quality (please keep in mind: it gets dark long before I get back from work, plus I live in the basement... not the best circumstances to take awesome pictures...)

Life drawing at the VHS

Dr Sketchy's totally got me hooked on life drawing. Not too surprising I guess. I mean: looking at naked people and drawing - two awesome things combined. How can one not enjoy that. Therefore, I signed up for a life drawing class at the VHS (dict.leo says "adult education center"?). It's not really a class in the sense of that there's someone teaching us things. It's different models to draw plus an artist who provides us with his (very straight forward) opinion (and I like that system). So, that's where I'm gonna be every Thursday night after work now.

These are a little to big to fit on my scanner, so here are some crappy night-time photos (in anti-drawing-cronological order):

I hope my brain will get better at combining its areas dealing with eye-received information and hand coordination soon. It's weird how you can look at a thing (or human that is) and think you see it and at the same time not really seeing it. Or at least not being able to see it in individual drawable parts. A bit like when you try to look closer at somebody's face in a dream or memory. Or... I don't know how to put this. Brains are strange.

Hallo(ween), Dr Sketchy

I've been at Dr Sketchy's today. It was my very first life drawing session and it was even more awesome than I ever could have imagined. The models were to die for, the DJ and the moderators were fantastic and the (free) Halloween chocolate muffins divine. And I won a bottle of vodka in the contest (the last 15 minute pose, theme: "watermelon of doom")! Yay!

The first ten were one-minute poses:
(What looks like a poor blow job in the first spread is actually a model biting into one of his plastic zombie arms. Just so you know.)

All of them were gorgeous, but Tronicat La Miez took away my breath. Her flexibility (and stamina!) and expressions are way beyond competition... *sigh* *drool*

The rest of the poses were between five and 15 minutes:

(Not my best sketch but definitely one of my favorite poses: evil clown spanking moderator with bloody plastic zombie arms.)

This last one won me my bottle of vodka (finally my art bears fruit!):

I can't wait until the next session. I mean literally. I'm totally hooked. If you have a Dr Sketchy's near you or somehow get the chance: do it! TriplemelonrecommE*phimendation. Not only because of the vodka and the muffins.
