I have organized a studio where we can meet 1-2 times a month in Watchung (right off 78) to draw from a model (we will draw from a variety of models both clothed and nude). This will be an uninstructed session for all levels, from beginner to professional artist. We hope to create a relaxed and creative environment. Bring your own drawing supplies. Ages 18+ Fee will be $15 per session.

This is a fun and friendly figure drawing group. We have sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and occasionally an outdoor session on Sundays. Our models are the best the area has to offer. It's also an amazing opportunity to meet other artists; from professionals to the more casual sketch artist. All are welcome and we love first-timers! Sorry, no photography allowed.

The Teaching Studios of Art is committed to bringing traditional, figurative drawing and painting techniques to the Bushwick area of Brooklyn. The sessions will begin with an anatomy lecture and then a few short poses to get warmed up. We will then proceed to one long pose that will be held for the remainder night. This long pose will repeat for at least 4 weeks. Monday Nights, 7-10pm $40 per session

All styles, ways of working, and levels of experience are welcome here. This is an inclusive community, created with the intention of bringing artists together, pooling resources, so we all may draw from a figure model. Please be on time, bring your own supplies, and the rest is provided for you... $15/3-hour session Morgan stop off the L

HAI hopes to spark a creative revolution by amateur and professional animators in a field of graphic design that evolved from still-cartoons and filmed-motion pictures so quickly most of the genre’s possibilities were left unexplored. Divergent creativity flowers when limits on length (and size/complexity) are combined with themes that encourage participation, provided the tools available make actual production and sharing quick and easy. It happened with short-form Japanese poetry as a mass par …

Illustration and manga is merely the initial medium of choice, so by no …
