Figure Drawing - in Costume
Sketch Night on Thursday night at the Society of Illustrators is a great change because both models are in costume - partial or complete. This past Thursday was Bastille Day and they both wore French-inspired dresses, very high heels, and wigs. Props included a baguette, wine bottle and two glasses of wine.
Here are a few 2 min sketches, one 5 min sketch, and one of the 20 minute sketches which was drawn and colored with watercolor pencils.

Nice sketches. Must have been a change of pace for you.

Oh let's go on a few Thursdays!! I'd love to sketch costumed people. These look great!

I think these are great! =) I believe I'll have harder time drawing nude models, because I'd be blushing the whole time and probably be looking elsewhere most the times

I love the second one...such a 'French' attitude, it would make a great painting!

You don't make it look like a problem. Well done!

Very nice sketches - you are getting better and better. I especially like nos. 2 and 3, the body proportions are just right.
