Last night we went to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA for one of their Thursday night events. This time, the theme was "La Vie Boheme" to highlight the current exhibit called "Impressionists on the Water" (which I recommend!), but there were lots of things going on there as well, from French Brasserie food and a talk about French cuisine by Adam Gopnik of the New Yorker, as well as an absinthe demonstration and tours of the Impressionist exhibit conducted in French. It was almost time to go home when we finally located one of the activities I was most interested in, drawing from a model in 19th century clothing. Time was short, but I sat down and did this quick sketch with colored pencils. The model was great (a redhead wearing all black and white). It was good practice, and I had a lot of fun.

This is a pencil sketch focusing on a realistic line-drawing of a sitting figure, paying close attention to proportionality.
Dr Sketchy's LA chapter held a drawing marathon. I pulled an all- nighter with a lot of talented artists, all drawing for as long as our eyelids could stay open. As if life drawing isn't hard enough, it's pretty tough to draw when you're dead tired. ;-)
