Drink+Draw Drawings

Suzanne Forbes drawing from Drink and Draw Berlin June 25 2016I made quite a few drawings at the last Drink+Draw Berlin.

Dothraki cosplay drawing Suzanne Forbes June 25 2016 (Maybe my lack of drinking helps!) However, it’s taking me a while to clean them up and scan them. I don’t always touch the drawings from an event afterwards; in fact mostly I just scan and post them.

In this case, I chose probably the darkest spot in the otherwise nicely lit room to draw in, so I wanted to touch up some lines.

Plus, many of the costumes were highly detailed, like the bellydancers’ outfits and this dude who was cosplaying a Dothraki.

So I took the time to finish off more costumes and the fabulous 1001 Nights-themed set that I’d only sketched in.

There’s one more batch, which hopefully I’ll get to soon.

So grateful to the Drink+Draw crew and main model Miss Cat D’Vine, and all the volunteer models, the musicians, djs and the incredible artists I was thrilled to be working in the same room with.Suzanne Forbes June 25 2016 Berlin

 

Drawing Jonathan Stray in Berlin

Living in Berlin, we get to have visitors from the US quite a lot.

Berlin is a great place to visit and people in our community travel a lot for both business and pleasure. Sometimes I get to meet members of our family I hadn’t met before! It’s wonderful.
