Hey peeps, if anyone is interested, I am doing a free drawing workshop at the Daniel Smith art store in Seattle, this Sunday, 12pm (noon) to 2pm. Bring something to sketch with and a piece of your favorite fruit. I'll be demonstrating and helping everyone draw from life!

Back in the day, around the time you and I joined, we had a group of around 15 peeps getting together to draw on a weekly basis. Was a fun, active group. Somebody just put the thread at the top, at the time.

E-17!
What about you?

See ya there!

Hey Dusty! It was great meeting you at ECCC. I'm happy that I was able to get a couple of your prints as well!

That was my first Comicon, and I have to say that it was easily one the greatest experiences of my life. I learned so much, and I felt nice to just totally geek out for a whole weekend!

Take it easy man, and good luck with your art!

**Dusty** · April 5th, 2012, 08:15 PM

Thanks again, man!
It was a pleasure!

ECCC is always a blast no matter what side of the table you are on. Glad you had fun and hope to see you next year!

Anyone no where I could find some life drawing classes near downtown? Just moved here and I'd like to get into one.

**karmiclychee** · July 13th, 2012, 02:09 AM

Hey nocozo,

Definitely check out Gage Academy. It can be a bit of a hike, but they have pretty cheap night figure drawing sessions - short pose, long pose, etc.

I ran the short pose last semester and those models know what they're doing. Learned a ton.

**jetpack42** · July 23rd, 2012, 11:58 PM

I really enjoy the Sunday sessions at Art Not Terminal. Starts at 10am, it's run by Lyle Silver. Get there early (930ish, or so) set up a bench, and enjoy. Quick gestures, followed by five 25 minute poses.

There is also a Saturday session which the poses varied in length, but I haven't enjoyed that one as much.

Gage is also great, I usually would hit that up on Sundays after the other one, and Gage has an open session at least one night a week.

**ErinLein** · July 28th, 2012, 11:11 AM

Oh, I haven't been to a figure drawing session in /years/, not since that figure drawing class I took in community college once. I feel slightly intimidated just walking in to a random session in Seattle... which is why I haven't done it yet, but maybe it's worth the nervous anxiety to try anyways?

The Art/Not Terminal Sunday one sounds interesting and I suppose that's tomorrow. Are benches provided?

Also, anyone have any suggestions of what medium would be best to start up into life drawing sessions again? I use to work in charcoal and sepia inks, but those seem too messy for beginning again.
