Dr Sketchys with Viking Santa

jeff — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 19:14:02 +0000

The last Dr.Sketchys for 2011 was quite an epic show. Two guys with full armour and weaponry came up on stage. They even staged a mock battle.. that drew real blood. Definitely made for excellent entertainment and some great drawing. I think last night had some of the best work I have ever seen at Dr.Sketchys to date.

For example… this is some of Jennas work. It comes with a far superior breakdown of the night’s events.

These are some of my sketches from the night.

Deadwood – Al Swearengen

My favourite character from the HBO series Deadwood. His face is so much fun to draw. It is so full of lines and character. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a more interesting looking person. Although after familiarising myself with him over 3 seasons, I find the actor (Ian McShane) looks rather strange without his trademark moustache.

I paused the DVD at various scenes and did some rough sketches in colour pencil. I tried to go for strange angles and lighting – just to make things a little challenging.

Dr. Sketchys Anti-Art Show (December)

This is the second Dr. Sketchy’s I’ve been to. Its a pretty awesome take on life-drawing, where the models put on much more of a dynamic performance than a traditional life-drawing session. There are prizes, and audience participation and its quite a entertaining little package.

These are some of my sketches from last night’s show featuring Ms Kitty Von Ditty (aka Steve). Sometimes I dont bother trying to draw the model herself, but use her pose to do my own characters. The 3rd and 4th sketches are examples of this.

We had 2 minutes to use one of her poses in a Christmas theme. My snowman won me a free coffee from Source Cafe. Yay!

I havnt done any proper drawing in ages so recently I’ve been madly trying to “catch up” on the past few months. Here is a pen and ink sketch of Mr. Cave from reference.

Update: I had abit of fun with the original sketch on photoshop and illustrator. Heres a remixed version.

More Exomod Cafe Sketches

Heres a few more colourful people who walk up and down Beaufort street. Some are straight from my imagination, but all inspired nonetheless by the wonderful characters you find in Mount Lawley.

exomod sketches

sketches of random passers by, ppl waiting at the bus stop and ppl having coffee at Exomod Cafe in Mount Lawley.

From memory, the large chap with the akubra was waiting for about 20 minutes at the bus-stop one sunday morning. The rest are a mish-mash of people I saw during the week.

Suits

sketches of suits

A rather important area I need to improve on is clothing. In particular, attention to the physics of folds and shadows.
