More Figure Drawings

These are a bit old, but I have a lot more coming. I’ve decided to just start copy-stand photographing a bunch of drawings rather than scanning to speed up getting them online. If there is something I’m truly in love with, I’ll go back to rescan them.

Drawings for Food and Science

(One thing.)
This is really old news, but I never posted about it. Last year I won a book for my drawing of a robot performing Hamlet at a Kickstarter party for The Secret Science Club. Secret Science Club is a lecture series held at the Bell House in Gowanus, Brooklyn. It’s really fun and interesting if you like science and beer (and can stand crowds).

The next Science Club lecture is tomorrow and looks like a really good one.

Last Friday I did drawings for a charity called Will Draw for Food. It was so much fun! People that made a donation received a drawing of their favorite foods. My friend Matt works for OrangeYouGlad, the graphic design agency that organized the event. All proceeds went to NYC Food Bank

Foodie Mia Ricci wrote me the nicest letter complimenting the drawing I did for her! I wish all my drawings for Will Draw for Food could have been as good as her soup dumplings and whiskey.

Some old sketchbook drawings.

I scanned this batch a while ago and was struggling with making the scans look good. A lot of these are drawn on truly crap paper are badly warped and/or have text photocopied on the back of the page. I struggled with making them look good enough to show. Most of them were drawn back in 2009, at 3rd Ward’s Drink’n'Draw. I’ve been going to draw there almost every week since the spring of 2009!

This particular girl I found to be so attractive that I had a hard time drawing her:

Pam.

Does the blank spot on her butt bother you? There was something in the way that I didn’t want to draw and found that I mentally filled the space in like a blind spot.:

This guy was actually the boyfriend of the girl that organized this particular sketch thing and was a last-minute sub for the scheduled model. Hence, the boxers:
