Dr Sketchy's Boston

I like getting to Dr. Sketchy's as often as possible.   Well, any sort of figure drawing, really.   But, the models at Dr. Sketchy's give off a different sort of energy than do traditional art models.   The outfits and provocative poses yield results that often have more content suggested.   It doesn't look so much like a drawing of a person sitting naked on a podium in the middle of a room for no particular reason.

 "Grey-world Short-coat Woman" 15"x11" ink and watercolor on paper  2011

I think this next one may've been done at a different session time, but still Dr Sketchy's Boston.

Make Skulls Look Alive

After doing various studies of skulls, I started wanted to transform them more into something figurative.   "Portrait of Death" was the first one where I made a point of doing that, trying to get a living quality in the skull, not just replicating an object on a shelf.   I continued that in "Seeing Through the Fire", but I wanted to get it looking like it was looking at something.  The stuff that I used to prop it up to get it at the angle I wanted was the inspiration for the way the neck looks.
