Dr Sketchy's Suspended Animation

These were from last month's Dr Sketchy featuring the Art of Shibari.

 

My warm-up sketch of the venue and 5-minute sketches.

I challenged myself this time by drawing full-page poses. I couldn't color the whole thing under the time limit but I had finished them before I left the bar

I found some extremely cheap B4-sized watercolor paper at a store (26php at Expressions). Watercolor paper is usually expensive for a reason so I would just go for some smooth cardstock.

The cheap paper holds itself well at 160gsm. Its rough texture makes my usual watercolor tricks, like glazing, difficult to pull off but it’s tolerable enough for practice.

Landscapes referenced from FrameFilter - it's a nice collection of cinematography from old movies.

Psychonauts

It's a fun game with the weirdest story that involves cognitive concepts and psychic abilities. If only games like these are more mainstream instead of all the Call of Duty and Halo clones.

Dr Sketchy's "Candy-Coated Horrors"

Held at Spidersilk's Acid Asylum exhibit.

I think I'm getting the hang of figure sketching with colors.

Dragonfire: Sketch Mob

Dr. Sketchy Philippines and Sketchwalk Philippines join forces for the first time to welcome the Chinese New Year with a sexy sketch mob at Bonifacio High Street.

My warm-up page with watercolors.


5 min sketches. I added the stylized ones when I got home.


Once again, I whip out my Lil' Hands pens and scribble against the clock.

I hope this won't be the last time Dr. Sketchy and Sketchwalk Ph collaborates ;D

Dr. Sketchy's "Curse of the Black Widow"

Last night I got to attend my first Dr. Sketchy event during the lovely art exhibit of Spidersilk Productions. The artworks of the Spidersilk trio, the set-up of the place and the costumes provided a nice ambience for a night of figure-drawing and drinking.

Some warm-up sketches. Top right is the model, Ms. Prudence, before she got on the couch in her burlesque outfit.


I had sketched things hurriedly so I can add in the colors before time was up.


Some of the audience and the caterers (who were all wearing steampunk or goth) volunteered to model.


Ms Prudence in her second, more risque, outfit. Last sketch before the night ended.

Big thanks to Spidersilk Productions for hosting the exhibit. Along with Dr. Sketchy, the Technoteapot exhibit brought together artists and enthusiasts to appreciate art and draw for themselves.

Here's some postcard prints from each of the three ladies of Spidersilk.
