Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Session - January 2012

This afternoon, I've been to the Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Session in the Comedy Theater in Amsterdam - and what an awesome show it was! Such a delicious atmosphere, and the burlesque/theater feel really gives modeling some life!
There even was a contest, in which we had to redesign a model her hair - inspired by her pose at that time. I drew her scared-looking head adorned with snakes as a scared Medusa - and beyond all expectations - I won as a runner-up! I went home with a beautiful artbook, and again - I would like to thank them for this most wonderful evening - I will DEFINATELY go to a next session!

So, without further ado and with great pleasure, here are my sketches: (sorry for the quality - still don't have a scanner...)

Here's the prize-winning Medusa, with her snake-surprise-haircut... And below this is a wonderful pose from a (female!) model who was able to pose like Spiderman... What stamina! Too bad I couldn't get her head right...

As a special mention, these last two drawings were of the most wonderful couple, I truly laughed myself silly on the act, especially the guy's cheeky expression made me snicker - too bad it isn't that visible on my sketches...

Welcome Company - Final

Aaaand here it is! My current final version; I stil feel there's something lacking in the atmosphere, so maaaaybe a V2.0, but as for now: enjoy!



The pinup file; as you can see, I've been quite messy in the colouring and details, but seeing that it's a very small pic, I felt I could get away with that;) Face is referenced by different parts of Elvgren's faces, except the eyes - and the pose is referenced from his original material.

Welcome Company - Paint Process I

Whoa, I'm on a roll here! Detail from the first painting startup process!

Welcome Company - final sketch

I continued sketching on the Welcome Company piece, and ended up picking my colours. The dude has crashed with his fighter jet/cargo jet (not sure which yet), and is facing a hopeless situation in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Luckily he's got the plane's mascot pinup to keep him company... along with a cig;)



I chose the less saturated sketch and added nightly features. Now that I've got my heading, it's time for colouring - and that'll hopefully be my next post!

Welcome Company - WIP sketch

I recently hooked my Cintiq back up, and I immediately got addicted to the wonderful amount of detail I can put in my sketches - I keep forgetting that! Anyways, here is a sketch I got carried away with, I hope to flesh out the scene sooner!

Model Drawing Sessions Art Dump II

Oh, I got even more! Haha, I even surprise myself with the immense amount of sketches... Again, done in either 3 or 15 mins:)

Model Drawing Sessions Art Dump

I decided to upload about two months worth of Model Drawing sketches; all done on laptop in either 3 or 15 minutes. Except the final portrait, which is done in about 45 mins. Hope you enjoy!
