Dr. Sketchy: Tricks & Treats

Dr. Sketchy: Bringing Back The Hootenanny

I purchased a new toy a few weeks ago, the Asus Transformer. I used Autodesk SketchBook Mobile and my index finger for all the drawings below. I didn't get a lot of practice in before this session, so consider this my "trial by fire" :)

Each drawing was created on it's own page. Where possible, they were grouped together for posting here. All the drawings are posted in their original sizes.

Dr. Sketchy: Mirror of Love

And so marks the first time I've completed a sketchbook, from first to last page. Don't get me wrong; I've marked up a whole lot of sketch books, but I've never actually pushed to fill a sketchbook to the very end. Moleskine, 8x5 inches.

10 minutes. I gave Mark Stephenson a hard time at the previous session for telling me he had an iPad and not bringing it in. He not only brought it in this time, but let me have a go at it as well. The software ("idea-something-or-other") is vector-based, hence all the hard lines. The interface was simple to use and very responsive. A lot of fun. Thanks again, Mark :)

A gold star for you if you guessed that the above drawing is of our hostess, Sharon. Sharon is always in sync with the theme of the evening and tonight is was no exception. Here's a secret to drawing Sharon without her noticing*: wait for an evening when there's a million-watt spotlight shining in her eyes :)

* Well, not a secret anymore.

Dr. Sketchy at the Hintonburg Arts Festival

Dr. Sketchy was at the Hintonburg Arts Festival featuring local artists, musicians and dancers. Dr. Sketchy organizers Sharon and Remco, along with the Sin Sisters models did a couple of one-hour sessions and people of all ages and skill levels joined in :)

This session's theme: Steampunk!

Theme: Art for Art's Sake

Some of the ladies from the previous art session "Malice in Wonderland" returned for more posing goodness. This time they posed as some of the world's most famous paintings. I missed some of the references. My high school art teacher would be so disappointed.

1 minute each with a twist: no lifting the pencil. I have to admit, this technique really helped me loosen up.









2 minutes each

The Scream by Edvard Munch

5 minutes each (Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh)





10 minutes (The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. There wasn't enough time to finish the costumes' details. That and the colours the models used made it a dead giveaway.)



20 minutes each

Olympia by Édouard Manet

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
