Life Drawing in New York
Since we are in New York City artists have many options to improve their life drawing skills by drawing from a model outside of this class. The only way to improve your drawing is to practice! Practicing our craft is VITAL! Take advantage of the resources in our city!
IN MANHATTAN:
The New York Society of Illustrators is an incredible resource for up and coming commercial artists. The sketch night is a great way to get to know this institution. Its lively with great models, live music, pro illustrators, and often comes with FOOD! This one is wonderful and is the cheapest option I’ve found for students!
IN BROOKLYN:
Shoestring Studio is a membership-based art studio serving painters, draftsmen, illustrators, and other artists in need of workspace, community, and shared resources. Their primary mission is to provide affordable, accessible workspace for artists in Crown Heights and the greater Brooklyn area. They host figure drawing sessions several days per week at a very affordable rate. You do not need to be a member to attend. Be sure to ask about student discounts!
Exercise Week One
This week’s Exercise is… Meet the Artist!
Create a meet the artist page for yourself in your Sketchbook! Look on Instagram or fb for #meettheartist and then design a meet the artist page to introduce yourself. You may use any media and style you feel is appropriate! You may choose to include any information about yourself you wish.
Post your #MeetTheArtist along with a SHORT PARAGRAPH introducing yourself and a PHOTO of your WORKSPACE.
