Sketchbook: Burlesque Figure Drawing

[mollybrooks]

last night i went to Dr. Sketchy's Nashville, a monthly event wherein burlesque models (in awesome costumes!) model for figure drawing sessions (in a bar!). it's super fun, and a good opportunity to practice drawing from life (while drinking beer!). this month's theme was 'halloween,' so the model was dressed up like a burlesque dragon (with banner-wings!).
