Challenge#41: Drawing jam and the changing times.

Artist working at the drawing jam while the band plays on.

   Used to the Gage would put on a 12 hour draw-a-thon of various models to draw for 20 minutes often in repeated poses that would go the hour before the model changed out. I was always challenged to "get something" from the 2-3 poses before the model either changed or left all together.  I marveled at those who could pull off something in that short period of time but somehow I think that the Gage wasn't so fond of this small percentage and thus made a few changes.
   This year was even more challenging as the poses were 10-15 minutes and did not repeat in the room I have worked in for years. Some rooms were even shorter poses of 2-5 minutes. I found it frustrating to discover that the Drawing Jam had become a "sketchy event" and that the participants were more consistent than the models. Sigh... I guess my Drawing Jam days are done.
