Expect a session of bold looks, big energy, creative chaos, and genuine connection. You’ll get to draw queer people exactly as they want to be seen, while meeting people, trying something new, and making art staying away from the idea of perfection and approaching authenticity and individuality.
Our models are not just posing. They are the creative directors of the room, choosing the styling, poses, music, mood, and visual world they want to build. We’ll warm up together with a collective drawing exercises, then throw in unexpected challenges to shake up your usual approach. All materials are included, and absolutely no drawing experience is needed.
This is life drawing, but with more attitude, more imagination, and a lot more queer energy. Expect editorial looks, dramatic silhouettes, unexpected poses, immersive setups, and models turning the space into their personal stage.
Nudity is never required. What matters is self-expression, experimentation, and creating a room where everyone can show up as they are. All materials are included, we have a large selection of charcoals, pastels, graphites, markers, fine line pens and all type of pencils including colors, watercolour and metallics. Absolutely no drawing experience is needed. Come for the poses. Stay for the chaos, the conversations, and the community. Bring your curiosity. We’ll bring the materials, the playlists, and the permission to draw outside the lines.
