In the interests of full disclosure, I now present to you the sketches I did that evening. It was not only fun, it was a great chance to do something that I hadn't done for MANY years, and stretch those artistic muscles we all need to exercise once in a while.
2-minute warm-ups:
5 - 10 minutes:
(Here's where I started using some 4B and 8B pencils on top of the HB and 2B)
And finally some 20-minute pieces!
I think I was getting into a groove over the last hour or so, and I'm pretty happy with how the evening went. I'm looking forward to a lot more live drawing now that I'm back in the Bay Area and there are more opportunities for this sort of thing.
Usually I show off my finished stuff here or elsewhere online, or at least a sketch leading up to a finished piece so you can see the progression, but here we have just practice, plain and simple, with numerous warts to amuse you. Let me know what you think!

hmm..I don't live too far away. Maybe I should start looking up events like this in the future.
Hey Jeremy! You should definitely try to make it to something like this. It's good for what ails you! I'll bet you have some up in your area, too if you look around. But if you decide to come down this direction, let me know!
I have looked into this, and actually the closest I can find to Tracy, is Oakland.
Fantastic sketches Patrick!
It was great to see stuff like this.
I would love to join in sometime - bit of a drive from England though :-)

Thanks, Stew. Yeah, you'd be home REALLY late if you came over from there... ;)
Hey, I see there are LOTS of Dr. Sketchy's branches in the UK though - is there one near you?
