All my sketches that night were “nude” until I drew nipples and then suddenly the drawings looked “naked”!

I went to a figure drawing session this week. I used a pen and made myself stop sketching and just draw one clean line. It’s like jumping off a cliff. You have to just do it and pay close attention to space.
Also, this is the first time I’ve gone to a figure drawing class where the model was clothed. Wow, it’s so much easier! Clothes are like a cheat sheet for the body. “Ooh, the swimsuit straps are halfway down so that puts the shoulder there and the elbow there….”
They really are cartoons unto themselves
Having coffee with the girls. My friend Becca had some sketch cards that we played with. I used her reference photo that she was using for a flipped Little Red Riding Hood. This was the wolf.
Hodge Podge is my new favorite place.
It’s a coffee shop and gallery that’s been open for about three months now. Thursdays they have open crafts (so far, just knitters) and open mike night. We munched on bacon cheese roles, iced coffee, and was serenaded as we knitted.
Also, it’s on my bike rout from home and the post office.
So people should buy more stuff from my store so I have an excuse to stop in at the awesome coffee shop. I may have to do a cartoon about the little girl and her friend “Bruiser” the pit bull at the junk yard next door.
