Drawing Sage Sovereign via Distanced Drawing!

Sage Sovereign for Distanced Drawing by Suzanne Forbes Jan 15 2021 horizontalI have wanted to draw NYC-based fire performer and producer Sage Sovereign for years.

So when she messaged me to let me know she was modelling for woman-run NYC life drawing group Distanced Drawing, I was thrilled!

She had an amazing selection of props and a beautiful set. Plus, she had two cameras running simultaneously, which I have never seen at an online life-drawing session before!

She has a style that is Art Nouveau and very graceful, with visible power. I still long to draw her in person, but this was a wonderful opportunity to begin collaborating and I am so grateful to Sage for her fantastic work and to Distanced Drawing for making it viewable to me in the middle of the night in Berlin!

You can follow Sage on Instagram here and her website is here.

How I love to draw her! She is always mysterious and magical, extremely sexy, and a little scary. This is her current insta account, but since she is always getting censored by platforms, follow her backup as well!

Since I am high-risk for severe COVID-19, I don’t plan to go anywhere except doctors until there is a vaccine.

Zum Starken August has been having live burlesque shows again since June, in accordance with the ever-changing regulations. You can see video of Valentina performing here and here!

Grateful to the Sketcherei team of Alexandra Ru and Liana Gilman for their committed support of sexy performers and sex workers, and for making this session accessible to me as a disabled and vulnerable person.
