This August, in honor of the upcoming Furry Tattoo Weekend event we’re hosting right here at Unkindness Art, we’re switching things up again from our usual monthly figure drawing class: join us on Wednesday, August 26 for Fursuit Figure Drawing, where our full-suited furry models will strike their best poses for you! You don’t have to be a furry to participate; all are welcome and this is an all-ages session that’s sure to be super fun!
For this session we’ll plan to have 2-3 models in varying suits (we’ll post our specific models here soon!). This will be a “short pose” session, best for quick gestural sketch practice.
This event is hosted by Liam Williams, resident tattoo artist at Unkindness Art and host of our regular monthly figure drawing sessions. Although not an art educator by trade, he is a professional working artist of 9+ years, and is passionate about helping make art accessible and sharing his own knowledge to encourage others to create for themselves!
The event takes place on Wednesday, August 25 from 7:45-10pm here at Unkindness Art (2923 North Avenue, Richmond VA 23222).
Important event rules and info are as follows (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
The only way to reserve a spot at this session is to purchase your ticket ahead of time via this page; we do not have guaranteed tickets at the door and space is limited
Tickets are NONREFUNDABLE; ticket sales go towards paying the session model(s)
The session will start promptly at 8:00 pm and we are not able to allow late entry once the event has started—please arrive early!!
We will provide seating for all attendees; we recommend that you bring: a sketchbook and drawing medium (i.e. pencil, pen, charcoal), or an iPad if you prefer drawing digitally; a sketch board if you have one
Although this is a paid job for the model, cash tips are always appreciated!
We look forward to making art with you!
