Dr Sketchy’s came to the MCA again a couple of weeks ago. Fabulous again! The link above will take you to an image where you can see the setup – we’re all in a big u-shape with three models to draw. That image is from last year, and you can see my drawings from last year here.
This year was related to the current exhibition of Yinka Shonibare so the models wore some interesting outfits. That exhibition finishes very soon, but if it comes to a place near you – 
don’t miss it!
Again, there were three models, so it was easy to see well, but I must say we were awfully close and that’s a challenge in itself.
These first two drawings were only two-minute ones, which were a lot better than the ones I did a year ago.
The next two drawings are 5-minute ones. That’s not a nipple – it’s a flower stuck there. I was happy enough with these two, but the ten-minute ones were not great.
After that, I decided to be very daring for the 15-minute ones & just go for it with a pen!
I just scribbled & scribbled as fast as I could go, then dabbed on some watercolour- though my waterbrush wasn’t co-operating so well.
I was working in an old A4 sketchbook – leftover from college. Last year I did a myriad of ghastly one and two minute drawings in a ‘good ‘ sketchbook, so I decided not to make 
that mistake again.
Glorious figure drawings! The bottom two somehow remind me of stage sets David Hockney did for ‘Rake’s Progress,’ eons ago. I’m sure that perception would qualify as quirky ;D.
What better proof that the ‘not my best sketchbook’ usually benefits from the best sketches
I’d be delighted if I’d made these sketches.
Your drawings are wonderful! The quick ones must be so freeing! I just bought a large drawing book to begin a class — hope I do a 4th as well!
