100th Member, Biggest and Smallest turnout.

As to the Cartoon Figure Drawing group - we had our 100th member the other day. I might give him a prize if he actually turns up to any events.
Monday at the Hub we had the lowest ever turn out, which was a shame as the model had great costumes. I was very inspired and felt my drawing was really improving. Initially my plan was just to record the figure in a rough way even if ugly but now I'm getting into making pretty drawings too. I like line drawing - comitting to the line. You really have to focus. Check out my sketches and Drew's sketches.
Sunday at Dr Sketchy was the highest ever turn out - I guess it sounded exotic. Lots of argument and comments about the session afterwards. People didn't like the compere trying to teach and there were so many breaks, it was annoying. I uploaded some of my drawings.

Here's one of Millie Dollar, the performer at Dr Sketchy's:

and here's one of the model with his ugly fantastic troll mask:

Cartoonish figure drawing MORE

Well, mailing A - J on the Pictoplasma list (oh and I forgot to tell you, all the London members with a profile picture on Mojizu) paid off: around 5 new members and ONE RSVPed YES!!!!

Thanks to Alex Hughes (who sadly, lives in Birmingham so he probably won't be able to come along generally) for sending me this link to: Dr Sketchy

"We combed New York to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers, the most bizarre circus freaks, and the most rippling hunks of man. Then, every other Saturday, we let you draw them for three hours." Check out the Dr Sketchy Gallery

They're aiming for sexy in a light hearted way. Not sure I'm into the whole erotic arts thing (probably because I'm not a man) or the voyeuristic 'circus freaks' bit but I like the costumes.

Might go for a change!
- I could walk around on my knees wearing a long black coat and pretend I'm Toulouse Lautrec

re VENUE

Am following up a new lead at a place called the Hub just behind Angel tube station. Looks like it's perfect. It's not too arty and not too rent-a-nylon-carpet. The idea is that freelancers can drop in and work with other freelancers if they feel like it. For people who don't have their own office basically. Only £15 per hour in a room for 15 people.

Alot of things get on my nerves for a moment but then I think just let it go, let it go! Like people who stand in front of magazine racks blocking the way and they're not even looking at the magazines, they're on the phone. Yeah anyone who stands around in shops on the phone.
