Drawing my mom on Zoom, Alfred Ladylike on Youtube, and Janet on Twitch!

portrait of Pat Ketchum drawn via Zoom March 27 2020 by Suzanne ForbesI did this drawing of my mom, Patricia Ketchum, during a Zoom talk.

It was one of the first remote drawings I did! It definitely helps to know the face of the person I’m drawing.

Alfred‘s Patreon is here and their beautiful song “Rainbow Medicine” on youtube is here. Check out the incredible nerdcore rap “Wizards RULE!” here.

Janet is a great model and also teaches drawing with DandD Berlin. This livestream was hosted by Julian DIeckert of DandD Berlin, a terrific draughtsman, who offered tips in the splitscreen.

I was invited to join a remote life drawing session with beautiful artist and artists’ model Anna Catherine, known as Anna Catherine Muse.

When I joined the Zoom meeting (ten days ago I had never heard of Zoom) my brilliant colleague from Berlin’s life drawing scene Samantha Stover was already there.

Anna Catherine is in New York as well; artists in the meeting were streaming in from all over the world, from Switzerland to Cape Town to New Mexico.

Anna Catherine’s poses have a great Art Deco quality which I really enjoyed. I can’t wait to see all the drawings from the other artists!

As always, I am able to make art and release the art free to all because of the monthly financial support of my beloved Patreon Patrons.

You can help, for just a dollar/Euro a month.
