Keith Richards

As a departure, I've been doing some studies using famous musicians.  A caricature of Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones almost draws itself. What a face! This could be a good way to start learning to draw leather or craggy rock formations.

Just kidding.

Sketch Night at the Society of Illustrators NYC

This Tuesday I attended a figure drawing session at the Society of Illustrators in New York.  The inexpensive class has 2 live models, live music, and a full bar decorated by a large Norman Rockwell painting.  It's a pretty amazing venue, especially for a drawing class.

Here are some of the sketches of 5 to 20 minute poses using a ink brush/marker.  I really enjoyed the dry brush effect when it worked in my favor.  I posted the image below so you can see the texture close up.
