Jasmine and Michaela

I had one private session with Jasmine and a SCAC session with Michaela a couple of weeks back but because of the pressure of Christmas deadlines I've only just got around to scanning and posting these and I've had another session since these which I need to scan in too. It's all too much! Can I have 8 more hours in the day please Time Lords?

Lichtenstein themed session

Last Tuesday night Jake Spicer's Draw group held a Roy Lichtenstein inspired life drawing event at The Old Market in Brighton and Hove. As usual it was well attended and there were three tableaux design and built by Laura and three models in suitable pop art costume and make-up to pose in front of them. I seemed to spend most of the evening drawing the magnificent Laura Nenonen who was throwing some suitably cartoony shapes. Great fun! Next month the theme is Norse mythology so get yer helmets out gang!

Sophia

Tuesday night's session at The Sussex County Arts Club was pretty full as usual and our model was the excellent Sophia who could hold a pose like a statue. Other cartooning stalwarts in attendance were Geo Parkin and Phil Dobson. Here are my attempts at capturing the lean and  lissom Sophia.

Kate times 2

Over the last couple of nights I've had two drawing sessions with Kate Shields at the SCAC.

The first was Bill Donahoe's regular Tuesday night class where he plays great music to accompany the scribbling and last night was a special event organised by Kate (who has more fabulous curves that the Amalfi coast road) and her fellow fab modelling pals Frankie and Emma. The theme was the three muses linked by red twine in a varied three hour session accompanied again by a great soundtrack. There was a fabulously tranquil and inspiring atmosphere and it was good to see my old studio mate Dan Lish there for his first life drawing session in yonks. Thanks Kate for a great event.

Rucsy

While I've been out here in Mallorca I've got to know 3 Rumanian girls who are all beautiful, interesting and intelligent as well as speaking near perfect English. Maybe I should move there.
Anyway, this is Rucsy who agreed to model for me yesterday. As I hope you can tell she is very striking with a mass of blonde curls and is a very spiritual girl who wanted to be drawn holding a fairy.
So who was I to refuse? Fairy 'nuff! (Sorry!) She didn't want paying for our session so I'm giving her all the drawings instead. Who knows, one day they might be worth not very much at all!

Alma

My friend Daniel out here in Palma met a beautiful girl called Alma who had seen some of my life drawings (thanks to Dan) and wanted me to draw her to boost her self confidence after a bad love affair had messed her up. So a few days ago she borrowed a beautiful Spanish apartment and after a couple of glasses of wine to clam our nerves (Hey! I get nervous too!) we had a lovely relaxed drawing session. As well as being stunningly beautiful Alma does a lot of yoga and took to modelling very easily. I'd be begging her to be my regular muse if she hadn't gone back to northern Spain for a month. The Gods always have the last laugh! Here are the results.
