draw night origins


I thought I would go ahead and post the drawing I worked on during the first draw night. it's not professional grade by any means, but that's not really the point of draw night. I'm happy that I was able to sit down and draw.

Draw Night Established!

welcome to the draw night blog!

Description
we are a group of artists who meet together weekly to help and encourage each other as we develop our skills. the idea of the group is to give us a time to sit down and draw, which is often hard to come by! with a group there will be critiques available, and learning opportunities from different artists.
Meetings
meetings are held weekly, at a different location. the location can be e-mailed to you upon request, but will not be posted on the blog for security purposes. When we meet together we encourage all to participate in a critique at the beginning. this will be followed by a short presentation on new techniques or tutorials a member has found useful. afterwards the group can sit back and draw, uninterrupted. at the end members are again encouraged to critique each other, to allow for growth and improvement. before leaving an "assignment" will be given for the artists to complete throughout the week, giving us an excuse to draw, and something to bring for the critique next meeting.
participation in critiques is optional, but strongly encouraged.
both digital and traditional media are encouraged at the meetings.
