Dr Sketchy's Life Drawing, Bristol

Just discovered Bristol finally has Dr Sketchy's Life Drawing events. It's a great mix of burlesque entertainment and drawing - usually in a bar so there's beer too. I first heard about these a few years back and thought they sounded a lot of fun - now I know they are. My first time life drawing in 2 years or so - I was pretty rusty but I like the last sketch. Looking forward to the next one.

First up was the Diva...



The next model was Dis Charge - strikingly tall and with great make up. We were treated to a song part way through too!
The final model of the session was Daphne Dangerpants. She had a great costume which I'd love to have had more time to sketch.
Daphne minus the costume…
Really pleased with this last drawing - I like the lost edges on the arm in the shade and the tattoo.

Come on Stefan, these are far too good for soemone who was a photographer then decided to dpo some sketching/drawing :)
Here in Winnipeg there is a walk-in life drawing class - 3hours for $7.00. I think I will go to-morrow

Best regards

I cannot believe that these sketches have been made by someone who is a photographer. You have done a great job. Just need some refinement.
