2nd entry for Oct 15th, 2015

These are a 10-minute study, three 15-minute ones and a 20-minute one, I think. Addi and Jacki had a very warm energy towards each other, and it was enjoyable to work with two people who were into each other's bodies and to figuring out how they could fit together to be drawn.
The space was small, and Addi is a rather tall person, so trying to fit two people on the smaller 18 x 18" paper I brought was a challenge I was not quite meeting.
The top study is Pitt pen with some graphite underdrawing. The next three are Pitt pen plus some Progresso woodless coloured pencil, and the bottom one is back to Pitt pen on Canson Drawing paper. The top four are all on Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

On the Thursday night Jacki and Addi worked together. These are all Pitt pen on 18 x 18" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

4th entry for Oct 5, 2015

These are some 10-minute studies and a 15-minute one at the bottom. The top four are Pitt pen on 18 x 18" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper, and the bottom one is Pitt pen and Progresso woodless coloured pencil on an 18 x 18" sheet of Canson Drawing paper.

On that Monday I got over to the White House Art Project's evening session in Kensington. Glen was working, and these are some 30-second and 1-minute studies, done with a Pitt pen on 18 x 18" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

On the Monday morning, Murray was working at the Heliconian Club session. These are a 2-minute study at top, three 5-minute ones and a 10-minute study at the bottom. All are Pitt pen on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.

3rd entry for Oct 2, 2015

These are a couple of pairs of 10-minute and 15-minute studies that wrapped up the evening, with the last two costume changes.
I wouldn't have minded more time for many of the fabrics, but it was a good stretch to try.
The first three studies are on Canson Drawing paper. The third is just Pitt pen; the two above are a mix of pen and Progresso woodless pencil.
The last one is India ink washes and Pitt pen on Canson XL watercolour paper. I was burning out at that point, but it is disquieting in a way that suited the evening - and the crow was cute.
All are on 18 x 24" sheets of paper.

2nd entry for October 2, 2015

These are four 5-minute studies at top,  three 10-minute ones and a 15-minute one below. with some additional working on sequins and foot necrotizing of the last one during a break.
As is usually the case with the Dr. Sketchy's sessions, the costumes had a lot of textures and surfaces to work with, especially with veiling and lace. It's a very good drawing challenge.
The second-last one has a wee bit of Goya-ish ness that I'm liking more as time goes by.
The soundtrack for the night included a bunch of wedding-themed music, and will likely be one of the only times I'll draw accompanied by His Name Is Alive's "Are We Not Married".
The top four are Pitt pen on Canson Recycled paper, the next three are Pitt pen and India ink washes on Canson Drawing paper, and the bottom one is Pitt pen, ink washes and Progresso woodless colourted pencil on Canson XL watercolour paper. All are 18 x 24"

On the Friday night Dr Sketchy's  took place, this time with a corpse bride theme for Halloween. Regina Dentata was working that evening. The studies below of her initial wedding dress and black veil are 1-minute and 2-minutes each, using a calligraphy point Pitt pen on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.
The upper study is 10-minutes, done with Pitt pen and India ink washes on an 18 x 24" sheet of Canson Drawing paper.
