The idea that we only do 5 minute poses is a common misconception online, but it's not true unless we're doing a special session where our client has requested shorter poses. <br /><br />We also have explored a number of themes (NSFW links follow)- from Gonzo (http://www.drsketchy.com/blog/?p=196) to Colonialism (http://www.drsketchy.com/blog/?p=201) to tributes to Ron English (http://www.drsketchy.com/blog/?cat=156)<br /><br />If you're someone, like me, who doesn't need a quiet environment to work, there's no reason you can't draw at Dr. Sketchy's like you would at any other open figure drawing session. We're just deliberately inclusive of people who can't draw.Molly Crabapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814068625086253651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-61552787739620177612009-09-30T13:14:08.256-04:002009-09-30T13:14:08.256-04:00Imagine my surprise when I got the latest Internat...Imagine my surprise when I got the latest International Artist magazine out of the mailbox today and saw it contained the first of several "Masterclass" articles by James Gurney!

I'd suggest calling the school or checking their websites.

I wanted to buy it, but I'll settle (settle?) for a print if nothing else.<br /><br />Erik,<br /><br />I'm in your "dull" corner. What I've seen online about the Dr. Sketchy session would definitely keep me away. It has to be built more for the camaraderie; I don't see how anyone could have a serious art session.Lester Yocumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825921969405494777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-81223016186699629832009-09-30T04:42:35.893-04:002009-09-30T04:42:35.893-04:00When I first heard of Molly Crabapple's anti-a...When I first heard of Molly Crabapple's anti-art drawing sessions it got my attention.<br />Having models dress up in all kinds of (often kinky) costumes in an unconventional sketch group sounded like a good idea to make those all too serious drawing session a little more 'light'.<br /><br />But from what I've read, the Molly sessions lean too much to the 'having fun' side for my taste.<br />A pose lasts for 5 or max. 10 minutes and beer seems to be the inspiring drink. Also, the dresses are almost always kinky in a sort of circus-glamour-gothic kind of fashion.<br />I'd rather have longer sessions, around a certain theme, like Wall Street for clothes, body-builders for muscles or musicians for poses.<br /><br />Unfortunatly, I'm a bit alone in my quest here. Seems like the 'dull' sessions are actually liked by most people. I wouldn't even dare to bring a radio to a session. They'd throw the anomaly out of the window...followed by the radio.Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-71280123644056191702009-09-30T04:14:17.585-04:002009-09-30T04:14:17.585-04:00I don't live in LA .... that's a pity! :(I don't live in LA .... that's a pity! :(beataalfahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435380563905402185noreply@blogger.com
