Hey Folks!
The Austin Sketch Group has got some pretty serious talent. Most of us are pros working in every different creative industry from comics to animation to concept art for games and film...
Aside from meeting every Sunday to draw, once a month we do this little thing we like to call "Drinkin' and Drawin'"... It's an exercise in making BAD art.
The rules go like this:
1. We go to a bar, order drinks, and the first person in line draws a one page, one panel comic in the sketchbook. Time limit: 15 minutes.
2. When time’s up, the sketchbook gets handed off to the next person who then continues a narrative.
3. After 2 or 3 people draw, we walk to the next bar and continue. We bar hop and draw this thing until last call.
Check out what a bunch of really great artists can do when faced with no direction, crappy time limits, and lots of alcohol.
*WARNING: ADULT CONTENT*

Cheers!
