On Saturday after sketching in Union Square I headed uptown to the High School of Art & Design which was having a Draw-a-Thon fundraiser. Several of the NYC Urban Sketchers were already there since it had started at 10 am. I didn't get there until about 3:30. I did a few warmup sketches and then did two of the models in their setting in the room. This was the second Draw-a-Thon I've gone to and I didn't get a chance to sketch any of the costumed models since the event winds down at 6 pm when pizza is served and raffles are drawn. It was a fun event!
That must have been fun. Drawing from live models isn't my comfort zone but I would like to learn how to do it. Very nice sketches of the models.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It isn't my comfort zone either, but like portraits it makes me observe things a bit closer.
DeleteExcellent work Joan!!!!! Amazing sketches!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilda.
DeleteI remember when you've sketched at this event in previous years because it sounds very similar to Drawing Jam that I attend at Gage every year. Fun! That first model looks so bored! ;-)

I think that model kept falling asleep. These two models kept the same pose all day which I think would be boring. lol The HS of Art & Design does this twice a year. I did it back some time in the winter.
DeleteExcellent work Joan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan. Good to see you here.
DeleteSuper sketches Joan. I like the way you included some of the other artists and didn't just sketch the model.
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks. Sometimes the artists are more interesting than the models. lol
