Last weekend I attended a Dr. Sketchy's life drawing event in Chester with my sister and friend Zara--a special "erotic" drawing class with a Hatsune Miku cosplayer,
@DoitCosplayGirl and traditional Japanese dancer Kana Nagashima!

Here are some of my drawings from the night, I found that drawing clothed models was a little trickier than drawing nude models like in other classes, as I concentrated too much on the costume, but once I started using a brush pen, my drawings relaxed a bit and the looser style fit the session a bit more.

It was a really fun night with lots of artists (new and experienced) and was complete with vocaloid music. It was a great atmosphere and at the end all the artists put their favourite drawings on the stage to be picked by Madame Ex (the organiser), the models, and a wonderful guest artist,
Jodie Wynne (who presented a great 'how to draw' manga style demonstration) for prizes.
One of my drawings actually got picked by
Jodie Wynne for a prize, a lovely illustrated book called
So Good for Little Bunnies by Brandi Milne, which took me by surprise! The drawings on show were amazing!

Dr. Sketchy's drawing events aren't too frequent but I can't wait to go to the next one this summer! :) I highly recommend them. :)
