What projects are you working on currently either professionally or as a hobby? Or what would you love to be doing? Nb give a web address if you've got one.

Hello, I love drawing cartoons/caracatures or anything that's basically not real! I did some private illustration work last year and am aiming to push this further in 08, otherwise I'll just treat it as a wonderdul pastime..!

Please suggest one idea for a theme for our drawing sessions.

Sequence of four dynamic standing poses

A club for doodle heads to socialise and draw actors and models in costume, character and motion.

Who is this group for?

If you are a creative of any discipline, working with a cartoon style you are welcome to apply to join the group. You might be a cartoonist, or maybe a musician who makes music for cartoons, or a painter, or even a tattooist? Just click on the Join button and give a little time to fill in the questions.

Main focus of the group

The main activitiy in the group is surprise, surprise, drawing! However, it's a bit more than that... We almost always go for a drink after a session and it's easy to get chatting with people and to make connections. So... it's a CLUB!!! A bit more than just drop in sessions. This is a special group and it's going places.

What kind of drawing?

Dynamic and gestural figure drawing.

Opportunity to draw or photograph a model in action and in character poses.

Quick poses from 1 - 10 minutes

Poses to request. eg model expresses anger or model flies through the air (ha ha ok, balances on a box?).

Sequential poses (movement broken down into a sequence of related poses).

Clothed / costumes / nude

Models vary. We book actors, performers and professional life-models.

Generally sessions aren't classes, we just get on and draw. We do share tips on technique, especially at the end.

Planning to schedule some master classes this year.

Drinks and socialising after the session.

Benefits of the group

Tailor made for cartoon type drawing - (I think we may be the only ones doing this in London!).
The group can respond to you - what reference do you need for your project right now?
Ever just got totally stuck on hands?!
Meet like minded people to exchange ideas, discuss solutions and make friends
Be part of a cartoon type network of talented artists
Opportunity to be involved in spin-off projects like exhibitions

Location
