50 (Mostly) Blind Contour Self-Portraits

Below are 50 (mostly) blind contour self portrait drawings I made recently, and I thought it might be interesting if I layered them all into one image. Hence the picture above. I still am playing around with it, and tweaking it in Photoshop, but I like how it turned out.

Wham Bam Pam!

Burlesque & Cosplay performer "Wham Bam Pam!" posed for the most recent Dr. Sketchy's figure drawing session at The Soundry, and put on a fun show. Not only treating us to some great costumes and poses, but she threw in a performance in the middle too. It was a lot of fun.

Curbside Cupcakes: Pinky

I browsed around the always fun Crafty Bastards Fair last weekend and lo-and-behold the Curbside Cupcakes [@CurbsideCupcake] food truck was parked out dispensing their tiny cakes of goodness. I sketched a bit and had a amazing dark chocolate cupcake, but apparently the raspberry lemonade flavor is the way to go. Find them and eat their goods.
