Day 922 You Knew It 

Leave a comment

Part 2 Dr Sketchys. I did more than a dozen sketches Wednesday nite. And met friends for a delicious dinner at Bees Knees before. Avocado chop chop. Who knew a baked avocado could be  So delicious. Loaded with crab. I really must draw one. And the rainbow trout perfection. All the while we sat in a store display window eating all this deliciousness. 


Going to have to go back and snap some pics when the bar is full. Love this shot it just needs people. 

More jujitau sketches. This one was five minutes I think. 


Hmm his head is too small I think. Hard to tell now with no reference pic. 


We were suppose to add a monkey to this contest sketch but darn I forgot. Too busy drawing and painting. 


Not bad but head is off. Ilaina really is a gorgeous woman inside and out. Doesn’t do her justice. 


The best of three attempts. Body is good but face too cute. 

Chin too long. Legs too short. As I told Rachel I peaked too early. Lol. 

And oh my – legs ridiculously short. Actually head doesn’t look bad. The vagaries of fast sketching.  


Another contest sketch. I will actually be selling this one at Wet Paint an auction for Greater Augusta Arts Council Feb 18. Funny while sketching it I realized that I had no idea what an ak 47 or a kolishnikof looks like. I don’t even know how to spell the later. lol. 

Busy day. Ttyl

Day 921 Dr Sketchys part 1

Our model last nite was just phenomenal.  She struck pose after pose with NEVER a down minute.  These are all two minute poses drawn with my pentel brush pen in a large super aquabee sketchbook. 

My favorite of the nude poses I think. If you have ever done a gesture drawing that’s how I do these. Well at least I think that’s what I am doing. 

Or maybe this is my favorite 

Not quite done. Ran out of time. Two minutes goes fast. Maybe I spent it breathing after the first three poses. 

Yes two minutes. Funny how fast you can sketch with the pentel brush pens. 

Ilaina is also into yoga and ju jitsu. Two minutes. ALOT of drawing for two minutes. 

Ditto the above. Sometimes I surprise myself. 

A Bientôt. Yoga time soon.

Probably my favorite. Caran d’ache neocolor ii 5 minute sketch 

My second fav. Her face was too small to do a good job with the blunt crayons. 

Twenty minutes?! At least I got the legs right but maybe I should work on her disappearing hand. 

Another Marion the Librarian tombow markers 


And this is the ugly. Her eyes are way off. It was late and we left right after this so I am using that as an excuse!!  

Thanks for reading.

 The Pirate Pose.  The last pose of the night. Thirty minutes I think and what great costumes.  

I used tombow markers and water colors for this painting when I did not have the correct tombow color. 

 
The Vamp

Is In the box now. I think this is a thirty minute sketch. I think. Interesting pose but proportions are off. 

  

The hmm third pose of the evening. I changed to my Noodler Creaper Ahab. I rather like this sketch. Bytw the guns were fake. 

 
First sketch of the evening. Five minute pose. Sometimes you have to warm up. Done with a Kuretake brush marker. Really like his feet.   

 
The second pose.  Another five minute pose. Kuretake brush marker. Not bad. I was doing get great with the guys shoes. Hmm?!! 

Colors used Tombow markers. Thanks for reading.

Tired Santa –  Ink glitter pens and Watercolor in superbee tablet. 20 Minute sketch. My favorite of the ones I kept.  

 Was great fun last nite.  

All the sketches are 10×14 watercolor and ink with wink of Stella glitter pens. I started with my Winsor Newton wc markers but found it easier to use my two small travel palettes I took to France- a whiskey painters palette and a cotman palette reloaded with artist grade watercolor. The skin tone is quinacridone sienna. Paintbrushes are the waterbrushes. 

What every girl wants for Christmas – 20 minute sketch 

Ink glitter pens and Watercolor in superbee tablet. 
   Princess Augusta  got a little wild and XXX rated with her poses. I have this one to the guys because they stood for twenty minutes with their hands in the air and they were so embarrassed over the pose. Think cheeks were bright red. 

  
Naught and Nice -15 min sketch

Ink glitter pens and Watercolor in superbee tablet. 

  
WIP – Santa’s Ugly Christmas sweater. Ten minute sketch.  Ink glitter pens and Watercolor in superbee tablet

First we did a fast sketch of the model and were suppose to just do the head. I forgot and started drawing his body and his tank top. After we drew him we had to make up an ugly Christmas sweater. The face could use more work. 

 I won two tickets to the Chat Noir New Years party with this sketch. Hurrah.

 I also won a free drink with another sketch but I forgot to take a picture of it. Oops!!! 

It was models choice. 

Best prize we all received tickets for the current Chat Noir show. Thanks Chris and Princess Augusta. 

There are a few more but they really require more work. 

Thanks for reading.
