What typically works well with the drawing contests?
\n Watson: The drawing challenges to me are in some ways truest to the spirit of what we are trying to do with Dr. Sketchy\’s. They help people loosen up whatever their skill level. I\’ve walked around and heard people laughing and showing off their out of control wrong handed drawings and talking about how they used to do similar stuff in grade school or just for fun. We love the amazing \’finished\’ drawings but we love the goofy cartoons or the ones where the artist was clearly cutting loose and having fun just as much (or maybe more.)\n \n \n What kind of sketching materials do you supply, and what should students bring? \n Richardson: We have crayons, a huge roll of paper, and coloring pages available for use. We also have some basic art supplies for sale at the event in case you don’t have time to get your butt down to Artist and Craftsman Supply beforehand and go shopping. It’s best to bring your own supplies — a simple sketchbook and pencil set is a good place to start.\n \n \
