Baltimore Comic Con 2013

I've been living in DC for some time now, but only in recent years have I started braving the Baltimore Comic Con.  Unlike a lot of pop culture conventions, Baltimore is straight up about Comic. Books. A lot of comic vendors, spandex, writers, artists & illustrators, spandex, kids, toy, t shirts, did I mention spandex? A whole lot of fun.  So I thought attempting a bunch of sketches on a single page might be appropriate considering the subject.

KiKi Allure

I don't have too much to share from the Junkyard Dolls' sessions at Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore, despite their being extremely talented and really fun figure models.

Thankfully the next session I went to was a little more productive, featuring KiKi Allure.

This one even won me a prize* during their blind contour drawing contest.

Reverend Valentine

Reverend Valentine has just begun hosting duties for the Dr. Sketchy's branch in DC, and yet she still finds time to head over to Baltimore to pose for a Halloween themed session too.  That's commitment to the movement.

Sophia Sunday

A couple of drawings from a recent Dr. Sketchy's in Baltimore featuring Sophia Sunday.

Nicolette Le Faye

I attended the 4 year anniversary session of Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore branch, with Nicolette Le Faye performing and posing for the crowd. I'm slowly becoming accustomed to finishing a drawing in 20 minutes. Though I'd rather have 60...

Marla Meringue

Another Dr. Sketchy's session at the Windup Space in Baltimore.  This time with burlesque performer Marla Meringue.

Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore

I checked out a Dr. Sketchy's session at The Windup Space in Baltimore this week. (on a school night *gasp*!)

I didn't accomplish much worth showing as the vast majority of the time was spend on very short sketches, but I managed to produce a couple of decent, if unfinished drawings.  Still, it was fun drawing burlesque model Lauren Marleaux as she channeled her best Joan Holloway before sharing her more usual garb. (and let me add it was very humbling seeing the drawings by all the extremely talented artists who also showed up for the event.)
