Wow, okay, so it looks like lots of people might be up for modeling at Baitcon. Cool! I won't remember everyone who said so, and in fact, I don't have faces to go with all the LJ-names as it is. So, don't be shy. If I'm drawing this weekend, and you want to model, just let me know. Just a heads up, though: I don't have *any* experience in portraiture. I'm not looking to do drawings of particular people like they do at street fairs (which never really look like you anyway, but that's a different story). I'm just looking to do some figure drawing and see if I can use anything I get in a future painting.
For instance,

It's not done, not even close, but you get an idea what I'm talking about for "figures." I sketched people in charcoal and pencil for several sessions, then used the images I had collected as reference for the painting.
