Best Dr. Sketchy in a good long while! Fred's a top notch model, and it was a blast to draw her in this style

Dr. Sketchy Cleveland @ All Balboa Weekend
I had the good fortune of drawing some folks who can dance better than I'll ever be able to a couple of weekends back. I also passed up buying a blue velvet smoking jacket, which I'll regret for the rest of my life.

Dr Sketchy Cleveland: D'arby Dee Day
Sketchy drawings from a couple months back. Freeing up my marker use, and having a blast while I experiment.
Dr. Sketchy Cleveland: Franklyn Singley
First male model at Sketchy Cleveland, and first time I've used multi toned markers since perspective class. Franklyn Singley is easily in the top five of people I've drawn, and I can't wait to do it again. If you've got the time, watch the dude skate here.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: JakPrints Fest 2011
Drawing Faith last week reminded me that I never posted these from the event that JakPrints hosted last year. Wearing lab coats in 90 degree weather, drawing pretty ladies, and eating Pho afterwards. Summers in Cleveland are the best.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: Faith McFluff As Wonder Woman
I was fortunate enough to draw Faith over the summer at a JakPrints event (drawings to post soon), but I've never drawn Wonder Woman. Aside from Kirby's work at DC, nothing over there has held my interest long enough to draw it. Also, until Dr Sketchy came to Cleveland I was afraid to draw pretty ladies.
Really great poses, and as always a blast. I even got to team up Brave And The Bold style with Ashley Ribblett to throw down the final pose of the night. Nice to see my pencils not scribbled on with the biggest markers I can find.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: Bond Girls
Continuing the theme of drawing new pals who intimidated me last year, Dot King was a fantastic model for Novembers Dr. Sketchy.
I was looking forward to sensitive pencil drawing, but once I started using a marker I couldn't stop.
Sometimes it chooses you, I guess.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: Cherry La Voix
To counteract all the marker and paint I threw around (onto the page and my coat) at the Pencil Riot, I rocked a pencil for the October Dr Sketchy.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: Fever Blister
Drawings from Dr Sketchy in August.
Cleveland Dr. Sketchy is a room full of talent, and sometimes you get to jam with them on the page. Emily Meluch and I threw these down. Go check out her page, it's awesome!
PENCIL RIOT!
I've always said I never know if I've drawn anything worthwhile at Dr. Sketchy events until the next morning when I've sobered up.
Which is the best way I can recount my night on the PENCIL RIOT! A bar crawl with all the sketchy kids through the w.25th area.
The night started at the Market Avenue Wine bar, which is where we have Sunday Art Club. Their back room has the same feel as an old timey hunters lounge, and it was full of art reprobates. It was awesome.
For some reason I decided to start a bar crawl drunk, so the drawings started out fast, furious, and loose.
Next to the Flying Fig where Danielle, Thor, and Tess mounted the booths and bars for some dynamite poses. Ron and I bombed the menus with PENCIL RIOT propaganda in case unsuspecting patrons weren't baffled enough by this nonsense.
I gave up on any pencil under drawings once we hit the Speakeasy under the Bier Market. Maybe it's how much Jim Mahfood I've been looking at lately, or maybe it was the booze, but drawing this loose was a real blast and I plan on doing more of it soon.
Being a Saturday night, it was hard for the models to do their thing, so I nabbed a portrait of an innocent bystander.
Off to the ABC for Celeste posing on the upper railings. The crowd at ABC was probably my favorite. The sort of guys that would make fun of art types in any other situation, but because we brought a gang of pretty girls with us, they were super interested in what we were doing.
I wish I would have cataloged the conversation next to the drawings.
More Celeste on some tables, and my favorite drawing of the night. I've got to work on capturing this sort of looseness without drinking my weight in beer.
Quick doodle of Dr. Jason before leaving the ABC. I ended up killing my brand new Copic that night. Blew out a marker alongside my liver.
Final drawing of the night at The Old Angle, where I didn't get another beer.
I've done a few things in my sketchbook over the years that aren't about the drawings but capturing the moment instead. Line is a better camera when it comes to capturing the artists mood.
These drawings may be loose and rough, but they're a great catalog of an amazing night.
Also, check out Craig's stuff from the riot: Sketch Of The Day
And Erin's: Pencil Riot!
And Jim's: Sketchery
Hopefully we can catalog all of these together online somewhere. If nothing else for the court testimony.
Dr Sketchy Cleveland: Dazzling Nadine
A couple months old at this point, here's some drawings from the second Dr Sketchy PHD I made it to, held at the Market Avenue Wine Bar.
