September 2021: Mahan

Mahan from Sktchy has caught the attention of many of us working in a variety of media for her use of light and angle to enhance the moods she so well conveys. Here are five drawings and one painting…and I have a couple more saved reference photos!

August 2021: Becka

Another Sktchy artist, Becka generously shares a great selection of photos for us to work from; they range from sentimental to noir, all beautifully lit, and offering me opportunities to work in various drawing media. She is directly (albeit unknowingly) responsible for pushing me into oil painting. Her Instagram is @akcebrae

July 2021: Johnathan

As a teenage art student in New York, I learned that the best fine arts models came from the theater, dance, and fashion model communities. Johnathan, who I found via his wonderful reference photos on Sktchy, is a fashion model currently working in New York. You can find him on Instagram @johnnyoh94
