Yes, another Drawn of the Dead event - they nicked our name!! No matter: we forgive them, as there is nothing like an evening of drawing zombies...
Yes, that's right, drawing zombies. Isn't that what everybody does on a Tuesday night?
You see, every so often the local Dr Sketchy team invite people to join them at the Greystones pub in Sheffield, for a figure-drawing-with-a-difference experience.
We've drawn Victoriana models in basks and knickerbockers with false beards or waxed mustachios, we've sketched a roller-derby team in little shorts and big helmets, but this time round it was the undead.
Dr Sketchy evenings are incredibly intense. We have anything from 5 minutes to 30 minutes to try and get as much down as we can, but most poses are about 15 - 20: we only got 30 minutes for this one with all 3 figures together (I should think so too!):
Apart from a short beer-break at half-time, we get no rests in-between to gather ourselves or even sharpen pencils, it's just BANG into the next pose. At the end of the 2 hours we were all exhausted!
I was dead chuffed that I managed to get something vaguely finished looking for every pose though. My watercolour pencils are just perfect for getting colour down at 100 miles an hour.
I can't wait to find out what we're drawing next time!
