This event is a great way to just relax, draw the human body and work quietly on our craft OR socialize with other artists. Sometimes we can be a bit chatty :)!

We'll start with 1 quick warm up video to loosen up our hand, and then move to 2 - 20mins long pose which will last throughout the event. This is really good for people who want to expand their figure drawing into a more detailed-focused study.

This is a social and friendly group so we kindly ask you to turn on your camera, we're all trying to get past being complete strangers here. If you don't have it turned on after being asked, you will be removed from the session.

Never drawn people before? Or barely any experience with it? Please watch this video before the event so you can have an idea how to approach drawing

Hi everyone!

We're doing an afternoon impromptu hangout at the Toronto Public Library - same spot with the long tables. It is likely to rain so we'll be sketching indoors.

First time meeting us and still not sure about the vibe? Check out photos from past in-person events of 2023

Bring your art supplies (mainly dry medium or small watercolour set), and order a warm drink and snacks.

Where to meet exactly?
Toronto Reference Library at 12pm

How to get there?
- if you're taking the public transit, you can get off at Bloor subway station, walk a few minutes north of Bloor, along Yonge line.

Looking forward to meeting you all :)

Titan A.E. is a 2000 American animated post-apocalyptic sci-fi action film directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, featuring a star-studded cast - Matt Damon, Bull Pullman, John Leguizamo, Nathan Lane, Janeane Garfalo and Drew Barrymore.

Its title refers to the spacecraft central to the plot with A.E. meaning "After Earth".

The animation of the film combines traditional hand-drawn created animation with the extensive use of CGI.

Story -
The film tells the story of a young man who receives a mission to save humanity and protect the giant ship that can create a new planet, after the hostile alien species have destroyed the planet Earth.

Along the way, he joins up with a ship's crew and their captain, who help him race against time and find the ship, before the aliens can destroy it.

Theatrically released on June 16, 2000, the film received mixed reviews from critics with praise for its visuals and animation but criticism for its characters and story. As usual, with my selections of movies - this was a box office failure, grossing only $36.8 million against a budget of $75–90 million, though it has since become a cult classic.
