I’m just now catching up on my backlog of posts so here’s a trio of sketches from recent Drink ‘n Draw sessions at Anyone Comics. Anyone Comics hosts weeknight D’nD Life Drawing sessions at the store from 7:30-10:30 pm every other week ($15 cover).
“Gio” – ink and wash.
“Donato” – pencil with gray marker.
“Vampirello (John, Vampirella crossplay)” – pencils
This past week was a special Sketch Night at Society of Illustrators featuring Military Working Dogs and their handlers. As one would expect – although the dogs didn’t “pose” in the traditional sense – they are extremely well trained so the handlers knew how to get them to hold or return to certain positions long enough for us to sketch them.
