Dr. Sketchy in Tokyo

I attended this life drawing session called "Dr. Sketchy" in Shibuya last month, and was quite amazed to see so many foreigners and a few SINGAPOREANS there! Believe me, I'm the only Singaporean in my Japanese school and nobody, nobody would understand my Singlish LEH!
上個月參加了一個非一般的繪畫沙龍,名字叫"Dr. Sketchy"。很訝異的是竟然有那麼多外國人和幾位新加坡人!!!在日語學校裡,只有我一個新加坡人,根本沒人會了解我的"新"式英語T_T



(I can't see the feet, that's why I kept on drawing portraits...)
(因為看不到腳,所以一直畫肖像...)

I haven't been doing any life drawing for more than 4 months since I came here. Everyday it was Japanese, Japanese and more Japanese! I wanted to bang my head against the keyboards and roll over the floor. Too bad my dormitory room was too bloody small, no space for a body to roll anywhere.
自從4個月前來到日本後,都沒機會畫人體素描。每天都是日語日語日語,還有一大堆活動,忙到我的頭要爆炸了。唯一值得慶幸的是我的腰圍變小了一點~啊呵呵呵~~~

Dr. Sketchy was fun because the model, Dolly Divine, is a burlesque artist and posed well. But be prepared to pay more than 2000yen for model tips too.
Dr.Sketchy有趣的地方是模特兒都是表演者,所以姿勢都相當有趣。可是除了入門票2千元以外還得付模特兒的小費。

To my surprise, there is also a Singapore branch too!? (Since when uh?)
驚奇的是,新加坡也有分行!?(台北也有!?)

  8. OMG... you must be ancient....I thought otherwise. Then you're actually my 师姐.... Did you participate in 24 Hour Comic Day on Sat? I did mine at Savannah.

  9. Hey, what do you mean ancient, you young rabbit!
    I don't know if there's a 24 hr comic day in Japan, cos you know, I'm not in an art school now and have other non-artistic commitments. Your comic looks pretty cool, can you make the pics bigger or something?

    Anyway, enjoy ya overseas studies! I personally found America more fun than Japan.

  10. Haha, actually I graduated in 03 so not really that far. It must be crazy studying jap, I'm impressed. Well you can click on the pictures and they'll just blow up into a bigger page. There's more stuff here http://dimsumdemon.deviantart.com/gallery/

    I haven been to japan so can't comment on that. Its one of my dream destination actually so... I cant really imagine how japan is less fun than the states haha... maybe the education culture is different. But you seemed like having fun too!

  11. Ha, you know readers don't like to click one by one to blow up the pages unless they're your die hard fan and would spend time to do that.

    Well, for me I had dreamed of coming to Japan since high school. But dream and reality is very different. I try to concentrate on the good side ;P

    Anyway who knows, you might come to work here one day!
