Days 8 to 14- Artober 2021 (Teddy Bear to Pink Panther)

 Yeah, I didn't plan to post all of these together, but I've had a lot going on during this week, so here we go...

Yeah, this is just a fun sketch of some teddy bear character. I might revisit this. 

On this day, I was watching a live stream of someone playing a ToeJam and Earl game, and one of the enemies was an opera singer. So here's my attempt at this character from memory.

Got inspired to draw this character from an old friend's batch of photographs taken when they were shopping for pumpkins. I quite like this character. 

Yeah, I didn't have that many art materials when I was doing this piece, hence using a highlighter rather than my trusty brush pens to draw out these characters. They make a good duo. 

Another day, and another live stream, this time they were playing that Nickeloden All-Star Brawl video game. So here's CatDog from memory. Not too bad. 

Yay! I had my brush pens back in reachable distance, so I drew this character based on a speaker I tried to watch via Zoom on Monday, which explains some of the details on this one. 

As being a fan of the Pink Panther character since I was a kid, I've never really drawn them before. This was very poignant with the passing of David H Patie doing the rounds on my Facebook feed that day. I like how this came out in the end. 

Life Drawings- 1st July 2021- Modern Queer Heroes Workshop.

 I'm so glad I managed to attend this life drawing session, run by Kate Jessop, inspired by her recent film project, Modern Queer Heroes, in which the model posed themself in poses inspired by the 14 people they featured in this collaborative film.  So here are the drawings. 

The first quick sketch was based on George Michael... because of the jacket. 

This one was based on Lady Phyll.

This was based on the musician, Frank Ocean.

This pose was based on Denise Ho.

This pose was based on Janelle Monae. 

This pose was based on the comic book artist, Alison Bechdel.

This pose was inspired by Fox Fisher.

This one was influenced by the YouTuber, Natalie Wynn. 

This one was inspired by the group, Christine and The Queens.

This was inspired by the model, Munroe Bergdorf.

This was influence by the works of Gregg Araki.

This one, which is my personal favourite, was inspired by the musician and activist, Chardine Taylor Stone. 

This pose was inspired by the works of Judith Butler

The final one was inspired by the works of Travis Alabanza.

I'll be honest, this is the first time I've done any life drawing in years, let alone on Zoom. I enjoyed it, and there are plenty of personalities to check out from this film.
