I went to the Dr Sketchy again.  It has returned to Elysium and I think this is the perfect place for it.  The most unfriendly of molemen works behind the bar.  The restroom smells of hepatitis.  The normal patrons who show up and aren’t part of the Dr Sketchy are in more elaborate costume than the people who are posing.

The members of Apophenia Belly Dance posed for the event.  What’s not to like about Dr Sketchy?  Drinking, drawing, lovely ladies.  Here’s the drawings:

I’ve been doing drawings at the model sessions as well.  I thought I’d show so that you all don’t think I’m a one trick pony who just produces quickly done paintings of nude women.  I also do quick drawings of nude women.  There’s couple of guys in here too.  And a woman wearing clothes.

And what the what, 47 unique visitors today?  I logged in to post and I have no idea where you’re coming from.  Statpress seems to be intentionally obfuscating it’s information.  Maybe it’s time to break down and put in Google Analytics.  No, who am I kidding, I’ve been posting every two months on average.  We’ll wait for my site overhaul before doing any analytics work.

This isn’t a drawing or a painting, but I kinda like this photo.  I might go to the mall and have it put on a t-shirt.

When I was in college a lot of students omitted the cock from their figure drawings.  Some even didn’t draw nipples on the female models, which is silly since it’s such a good indicator of the position of the ribcage.  I don’t know exactly why they wouldn’t draw the cock.  Insecurity of some sort perhaps?  Perhaps they thought people would think they were gay if they saw charcoal drawings of cock in their newsprint pads.  Or perceived as straight in the case of the females.

A cock is far more obvious in it’s absence.  Therefore kids, in your drawings from now on be sure to include a cock if it is appropriate.  Now, it doesn’t have to be fully rendered.  It’s not terribly important to the overall gesture of the figure.  It’s position is determined mostly by gravity, and occasionally bloodflow.  No need to make it the focal point.  Unless it is.

So don’t be afraid to draw those cocks.  Stick a thumb in the eye of your puritan parents and give them a framed drawing of a naked dude for Christmas.

This post is dedicated to one of the great cock drawers of our time, Leslie Pierce.

OK. Here’s my drawings and paintings from the last week. This is a fair amount of shit. Despite the gothy look of my latest painting, I swear that I don’t think that I’m a vampire, wear eyeliner, or carry around a vial of blood from my one true love.
