Derby Doll

We had the great Stacy Walker doing a kick ass job as a roller derby gal Wednesday night. I think she could go pro! I thought I'd post the sketch and a paint over I did later. Thanks Stacy!

Cowpokes, Hippies and More

Here are a few from the last month or so, Jonathan as a cattle driver, Taryn as a 60s love child, Larva as a middle eastern dancer and Debra sunning on the beach. Thanks to all, they work hard to bring us some great characters to draw.

The Jewel Thief

We had the lovely Sara Streeter last night as a Femme Fatale. A little dramatic under lighting at the end was a good challenge. Thanks Sara!

An Offering of Snakes

I took one of the Sara drawings I liked from last week and colored it up. Her bowl was actually a foam core disk, I thought it could use a little edge, so a snake.

Nymph or Naiad?

Those classical guys. I always get those two confused. Anyway, we had the lovely and talented Sara Streeter last night as a Nymph/Naiad maiden, Waterhouse meets Game of Thrones.I tried a new paper, Canson XL, and it works great compared to the Strathmore I have been using since God was a boy.A bit smoother but still plenty of tooth. Good dark tones without looking as heavy. thanks Sara!

Egon Schiele and More Guns

We recently had Daniella Traub posing as an Egon Schiele model and she was Wunderbar! Then Tish Marie appeared as a 70s action film gal with gun, always a good subject. Fun stuff.

Starlets and Beach Bunnies

Debra Haden was great as a sparkly starlet (I hurt my back so the other sketches from that evening were stinkers) and Lauren Annette was rockin' as a 60s beach bunny/ Gidget type. Her water bottle had to stand in as a Coke bottle.

Murder at Silver Creek

A month or so ago our model was Peggy Moore who did a great job as a saloon gal. One pose got me thinking it would make a nice 60s/70s paperback cover, so I went for it. Thanks Peggy!

Susie Homemaker

Taryn Piana posed as a saucy Susie Homemaker last night, throwing in a bit of Gil Elvgren pin-up style toward the end. Great poses! I added some imaginary props and some tone just to give them a bit of finish. Thanks Taryn!

Cosmo Romance Story

We had the lovely Debra Haden as a young lady in 50s/60s formal wear. The story line we made up is she arrives at the dance only to be abandoned by her date, but in the end she's happy to be rid of him. Anyway, that was her motivation through the evening of poses, see if you think it comes through in the drawings! Thanks Debra!

Moulin Rouge

Marissa Gomez was très magnifique as a can-can dancer. She was a bit under the weather but stuck with us til the end. What a trooper!

Tomb of the Undead!

This came from a sketch I did of the great Stacy Walker dressed as a vampire hunter. (the candelabra was made out of cardboard!) I wanted to take it to a more finished piece, sort of a Hammer Films horror poster from the 60's. Stacy battles the undead in the bowels of the catacombs.Punch those lurid colors! Thanks again, Stacy!
