Soho Burlesque

I really love how many opportunities there are in London to go and draw. Last night went to Zebrano's on Greek Street in Soho. Basically a cocktail bar, but Tony organises a regular burlesque drawing session there. There's some seriously good artists and graphic designers that go there too. Was very impressed by one guy next to me who made an awesome poster-style drawing and another who was doing really tight drawings in a sketchbook with bright coloured markers. Hey, maybe next time I go I'll actually learn people's names : )

Tatiana also cam along, which was cool and turned out some seriously cool work in between chatting to a mutual friend in New York on her blackberry...

While fun, I don't feel that very much of the work I got done was all that great, partly due to stupid stuff like not leaving enough space on the paper and not using a sharp enough pencil. I blame the antibiotics.

I liked the below one though which was a 5 min sketch and a longer pose from similar angles on the same page.
