On the Monday I went over to the Dr. Sketchy's drawing session. B- was working that night, and she is a local burlesque performer. The poses she took were not so far removed from a lot of the sessions where no clothes are involved, but the choice of lingerie & heels really colours how the poses appear.
These were 1.5-minute and, I think, some 3 -minute poses. With the amount of trouble people there put into their costumes, I feel it would be a bit churlish not to draw them, but in a minute or two it is an extra stretch to set down any of the details of what she was wearing. In trying to draw these I alternated between sketching clothes over quick scribbly gesture drawings, and working with fast contour lines.
The less time spent scribbling up front, the more time to add surface information.
These are done with soft graphite on 18 x 24" cartridge paper.
