Since 2005, Dr. Sketchy's has been the name in alternative drawing. From illegal flashmobs to the Museum of Modern Art, Dr. Sketchy's has brought artists a rule-breaking cocktail of dames, drinking and drawing. Dr. Sketchy's branches draw in over a hundred cities around the globe, from Akron to Zagreb. Whether you're an artstar or a scribbling newbie, Dr. Sketchy's is the perfect place to get your fill of life-drawing
Dr. Sketchy's is the brainchild of artist Molly Crabapple
This website is the official site for all licensed Dr. Sketchy's branches. If you hear of a branch, but they do not have a profile on this site, be warned that they will not provide our authentic Sketchy's experience. Check our Branches page for your local branch!
Join us for (what we hope will finally be) the first Baltimore Dr. Sketchy's life drawing event of 2018, featuring the beautiful Kahlee Flower! Bring your sketchbook and your favorite drawing supplies and get ready to be inspired by this amazing lady! Kahlee will also treat us all to a special performance halfway through this fun night of drinks and drawing.
And, as usual, we'll have some wacky contests with great prizes from Blick Art Materials. No drawing experience is necessary, so don't sweat it if you think your sketches are barely above stick figures—just come and have fun practicing!

Despite impending snow, Dr. Sketchy's Asbury Park hosted a Dark Carnival, featuring 4 circus folk as models: an aerialist, a bearded lady, a clown, and a fire breather (with imaginary flames, for indoor reasons). Sketchers came from far and wide to observe the wonders of the carnival, and take in the circus-like atmosphere. Bearded Lady Robbin Nite performed a burlesque routine, and Aerialist Agent Topchik performed on her lollipop lyra. Three rounds of sketching produced three prize winners.
Our aerialist started things off with 30 second poses on her
Run away and join the circus. Catch our next event, Dark Carnival, this coming Wednesday, January 17, from 6:30 - 9:30 pm at the Bond St. Complex's Capitoline Basement Bar in Asbury Park, NJ
