It&#8217;s quite a cool scene there, though it may be a bit shocking for those used to more serene drawing environments. Grab a cold beer or a glass of wine from the raucous bar, then grab a chair and start drawing. There is always live music, and we&#8217;ve read reports of burlesque dancers as life models. One red feather boa was about as burlesque as it got, but both models were excellent and looked quite nice posing against the original artworks of some of the greatest illustrators in American history (NC Wyeth, LC Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell, et al). Drawing is every Tuesday night from 6:30 &#8211; 9:30, $15 at the door. There is also a session on the third Thursday of every month as well.<br \/>\nSo on the right, I&#8217;ve posted a small sketch, done in the last 2 minutes of the evening, which I kind of like the most. And on the left, we have a rotund and jolly police officer, which is a sketch from my moleskine (further work done in the Lab), drawn from a picture i snagged somewhere on the web.<br \/>\nWhy are they together? What&#8217;s the story between them? Is she whispering something in his ear that&#8217;s making him smile?<br \/>\nClick on the photo for a larger image of the cop. Sorry, no more of the lady to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight fellow Invisibleman PA and I hoofed it up to East 63rd and Lexington to the Society of Illustrators to attend one of their storied Tuesday night drawing sessions.
