Alessandra

Once and one time only I went to a Drawing Session run by the same guy who does DrawAMania but it was held in a Manhattan Studio which was neighbored by Broadway performer rehearsing. (The Sound of Music is not my ideal choice of music to draw with.... maybe music from Mamma Mia) 
This was the only time I drew Alessandra and she was terrific, one plus side to this session was the mirror had better views on some of the poses.

Tania Martine

Here is a montage from one of  the two sessions I had with Tania at Too Moon Art Cafe what was once in Park Slope

 

Cecily

I First drew Cecily at the school that started my occasional drawing sessions which were held in Buschwick, and it happened on their very last night.

 

I then got to draw her once again months later at a Bar on the Lower East Side but this was Burlesque drawing over nude.


Kate Alley

Here is yet another Great Model I got to work with only once....

I was looking forward to drawing her and her tattoos in final repeated poses, but The organizer had the unusual idea of posing her with a purple rose scarf. Covering 80% of her tattoo sleeves.

George

Here's another Great Model from my earlier sessions, unfortunately I have never drawn George again. She reminds me a lot of a living version of Blondie Bumstead.

Nat Nat - A Raw Muse

Nat Nat is a great model, artist, and Photographer. She used to co-run a drawing session in Park Slope at what once was Two Moon Cafe. Normally whenever a scheduled model would cancel or flake she would gladly step in place.

She is the Spider-Woman of models.





Bekah Fly

I first drew Bekah 2 years ago in my early drawing session days and my first session with here lead to one of my favorite solid pieces

She is also a regular at the monthly Draw-A-Mania which is held every 3rd Thursday at Otto's Shrunken Head.  


Unfortunately Since earlier this year she has been battling Lyme Disease which a fund raiser as held for her and raised 104% the goal for her treatment. I am unaware of her current condition but wish her a speedy healthy recovery.
