Seriously, who draws at a rock concert?

So I rocked till my nose bled, threw my bra at the band, and partied like a wild animal at a rock concert today.

Yeah right.

No, I basically was the same as always, art-nerding it up. Can you picture a tiny barely 5'4", 100 pound little girl amidst a sea of screaming drunk concert goers, cradling my sketchbook, trying to get a good drawing in the dark? Yes, that was me. Art nerd. Not that the music wasn't good, it's just that I rarely take time off for myself and if I'm not trying to catch up on laundry, vacuuming and bills, I feel that I should be trying to practice. My friends were very understanding and encouraged it. So without further ado, here's some sloppy sketches done, WITHOUT LIGHT, dammit. Just the soft glow coming from the stage and people's i-phones.






I hope to someday draw on a roller coaster. Now that would be the peakiest peak of art-nerdliness that would be virtually un-toppable. So, readers, where's the weirdest place that you have sketched?

PS. AND BY THE WAY, I'm 34. Bitch got carded. Can I get a what what??

Are you kidding me? Even Picasso knew to have a few drinks before a concert. You are a genuine art nerd, my friend. Next time, do some shooters before the band comes on, okay??

Just between you and me, I'm kind of turned on by the image of you throwing your bra onto the stage. :D

Bahahahahahahaha!! You are devoted, I wish I could say I have a story like that :( I'll have to work on picking and odd spot to sketch! These are great by the way-nice form.

*fist bumps* Isn't it nice to have people think you are still under age!? LOL!

These sketches are rockin! You've inspired me...I have plans to see a band on Sat. Will now bring sketchbook. BTW, I got carded at 39. I said "Thank you!" He said, "I have to card everyone." I said, "You just lost your tip."

Ha! Good for you Tiffanny...I love that you brought your sketchbook to a concert...wow! I sat through a concert and when I got home, sketched two scenes...I think I'm an art nerd too! : ) LOVE your life drawing posts and gosh, I learned so much from those in school...I'm afraid to take another for fear of realizing how much I don't know..great for you that you're tackling this - and so awesomely well!

I would, don't worry :D Or, maybe not, I'm not having the energy to obsess over drawing as much as I did before. BUT GREAT FOR YOU, these sketches are awesome :D

So long as you had a good time, who cares! :D
I did sketch at a kind of party once - people thought I was being unsociable but I just wanted to capture the moment in my sketchbook :')
Cool sketches and congratulations on finding the fountain of youth! :P
