a year of figure drawing

I thought it would be fun to document my year of figure drawing for 2010. I've posted photos below from each of my figure drawing adventures for the year. I noted below each one who the model was (there are a few whose names I don't have), the month it was drawn, and at what event. Most drawings were done in 20 minutes or less - a couple were longer. For the ones that were longer, I simply noted that it was a longer drawing. I did several drawing at most of the events represented below, and sometimes it was hard to choose - but I've tried to give you the best from each session.

All of the models at the Dr. Sketchy sessions are local burlesque dancers. Roxie Moxie (November) was a bit of a challenge because she has breast implants, which made her body look somewhat unnatural (in the drawing as well as in life).

Enjoy! As always, it's fun to see how my drawing has evolved over time.
