More drawings of the gorgeous naked people!

L at Lydias from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI finally finished up a bunch more of these drawings of Berlin life drawing muses E & L.

E & L, aka Rosiichbinnackt, no longer do life modeling so I was damn lucky to draw them! That’s L above; I just drew her twice 😉

E and L at Lydias 2 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesYou can see the previous posts from these wonderful community drawing sessions here and here.

E and L at Lydias 2 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesThe sessions were hosted by Lydia Schuchmann and Flavia Scuderi, two immensely talented professional working artists.

E and L at Lydias 3 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI wish you could see all the other drawings that were made there, there were some terrific draughtspeople!

Life drawing with Liliana Velásquez at Dr. Sketchy’s x Drink and Draw Berlin!

Liliana Velasquez seated at Dr Sketchys Berlin Drink n Draw kunsthaus Nov 24 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI don’t do life drawing often, because I did so much in art school.

If I’m drawing a naked person, generally they are gonna be fucking or setting something on fire. However, I made an exception for a special intimate session of Dr. Sketchy’s Berlin at the Drink and Draw Berlin kunsthaus, starring model Liliana Velásquez.Liliana Velasquez nude at Dr Sketchys Berlin Drink and Draw kunsthaus Nov 24 2019 by Suzanne Forbes

Liliana is a friend and muse who I have drawn many times because she is one of the hardest-working entertainers in Berlin. I’ve caught her doing stand-up, producing variety shows, hosting New Year’s events, teaching the tango at her live talk show, and more.

The session started with a batch of one and two-minute gestures, and I will leave you with those. Thanks so much to Liliana Velásquez, Lala Vox and Syren Joey of Dr. Sketchy’s Berlin and to the great folks of Drink and Draw Berlin!
