I’m excited that Outside the Lines, the University of Chicago Figure Drawing club, has started up this Fall after a long hiatus. I’ve been twice since it started up and the room was filled to capacity each time.
The timing of the group’s rebirth is good, since I have been drawing a lot lately, all of it figurative, though mostly without a model. I’ll try to post a few more recent sketches here soon.
I was talking to a few of the (very energetic and engaged) young women who are organizing it, and they asked if I’d come to the group in the past. Their eyes widened when I said I’d been coming since 2003 (when many of the attendees were in middle school). As I chuckled and mentioned I’d been drawing from the model for nearly twenty years, I realized I was old enough to be the father of nearly every person there.
Time is a strange thing.
