There’s something to be said about opportunity as an artist. There’s more to said about those who don’t take opportunities as an artist.
So, there is a ONE NIGHT ONLY FLOMM event going on 4.23 and there is going to be LIVE COSPLAYERS there to draw. In costume. Using an idea borrowed from what was a really popular life drawing series that had a ton of fans in Sacramento, artist Ben Walker’s Pompsicle.
Cool, right?
Well, I have a sickening suspicion that so many artists are going to let this ONE-TIME-ONLY opportunity pass them. Because that’s what typically separates the artists from the WANT-TO-BEs.
It’s all about Practice . . .
4.23’s LIFEDRAWING COSPLAY segment will offer (in addition to a huge line up of printing/art/músik) the ability to:
!! Work on your proportions and anatomy
!! Work on your clothing and drapery
!! Get critique from your peers, including myself
!! Get in some good pencil mileage
!! Have real live reference for character creation
!! Make some new friends
!! Potentially get some homework done
(I know a bunch of artists who have character-based art classes right now)
I’m looking at those of you who are hungry,
those who are passionate,
those who care enough about yourselves and your work to make the effort to be there to work with those around you.
LIFE DRAWING in costume is a perfect opportunity to see how CLOTHING really looks – beyond the standard NUDES we normally draw.
And
in addition to the variety of
steampunk + superheroes that’ll be posing,
here’s a LOOKBOOK of some of the modernist/flommist COS styles
we’re hoping to get inspired from/recreate/see on 4.23 . . .
