I was completely bemused when the model sat, primly dressed, staring at us, cradling in her arms a log. I had no idea of the reference. There was something hauntingly primitive about her, such that not just the log but the whole seated person was a totem, imbued by believers with supernatural power. I found myself exaggerating her hands, wherein the power seemed to lie.
Four hours intense drawing. I so look forward to the next Dr Sketchy’s session. March …
Here are a mix of sketches, as done on the day and touched up after.
Goodness – Dr Sketchy is certainly finding interesting subjects for you. I completely missed Twin Peaks but thought that she’s was cradling the log like a baby.
In March the theme is … Star Wars!
Not all do this kind of theme to sessions. I am looking forward to hearing from another artist who went to Dr Sketchys in a different city yesterday.
So interesting, your sketches, kestralart! I checked near me but would have to drive two and a half hours to just get there. But! Incredible idea and hope one pops up closer to me. Thank you for sharing this information.
I think you live some way out from Chicago, is that right? Big distances for you compared to in the UK.
