John Mackey was completely in character at last week's CTN Character Sketching session! It was great fun, and I came away with the desire to rewatch Pirates of the Caribbean ...

Character Sketching – Housewife
Julie Wions modelled at this Character Sketching event a couple of weeks ago. I loved the interaction with the doll - I was reminded of my sister and my niece at times!
Character Sketching – Fantasy Creature
It's taken me far too long to post these sketches from this session where Daniella Traub modelled as a 'fantasy creature'! Through the evening I explored different versions of the character - more elfin, a wild girl of the woods, a villain.
Character Sketching – Ballerina
Beatrix held some tricky-to-draw ballet poses last Friday for CTN's On Model class.
Character Sketching – Dorothy
Rachel modelled as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz at last week's On Model session. A little different from the last couple of weeks - this time I wasn't following a model sheet!
Life Drawing, 19th May
Vera modelled at this Tuesday's session. She held some great poses with interesting shapes.

Life Drawing, 12th May
Vilidian modelled at this week's life drawing session. Unfortunately I'd run out of paper (more is on the way) but I drew in Photoshop instead. I tried to resist using 'Undo' but didn't always succeed ... It was nice having some close-up poses near to the camera.
Character Sketching – Maleficent
I've admired artists who turned their life drawing sketches into characters for years, but though I've used my drawings as inspiration for characters I've never, until now, drawn a model and drawn a character at the same time. It's tough. But it's fun! With so much...
