A Night At Body Worlds

Sometimes I lost site of the fact that I was drawing actual humans but it was an interesting learning experience. It was a great opportunity to really see and draw the muscles that lie beneath the skin. Well worth the time. I've been really into the versatility and ease of Pitt Pens lately so that's what these are done with.

  1. Wow, the Pitt pens were great for those muscles and ligaments!

  2. Really very nice Marco. I especially like the 'dancer/acrobat' in the last sketch. Which is interesting because my concern was in viewing the 'posed' figures and that it would be uncomfortable to see that. But your sketch is beautiful in relating the movement and grace.

In late July of 2010, the city of Portland, Oregon (USA), became a canvas for drawing enthusiasts from around the world as Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) and Urban Sketchers (USK) hosted the 1st International Urban Sketching Symposium. The three-day event attracted participants and presenters from diverse corners of the world. In addition to the U.S., other countries represented were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Mauritania, Italy, Japan, Singapore, the Dominican Republic and Spain. The program consisted of lectures, panels, exhibits and field sketching sessions led by a diverse team of international presenters with backgrounds in art education, architecture, illustration and journalism. This blog documents the experience since the Symposium was announced in March. A selection of photographs from the event can be found in this flickr collection. Sketches produced by participants during the event can also be seeing on the Symposium flickr group.
