Eastside creatives gathering for social sketch meetups and figure drawing studies. All levels welcome, low pressure, high creativity! ✨
If you haven't had a chance to draw the Seattle Cryptid #jimmithy here's your chance, along with three other brand new sketchbook prompts from #essdrawmonthly. Stop by our table at Formula Brewing tomorrow at 6 PM to join us in tackling these prompts! #issaquah #issaquahdrinkndraw #artcommunity #art
Been working on some brand design over the weekend for Eastside Sketch Society's events and overall theme. What do you think of this design for the new Drink n' Draw logo? If you're coming to the event tonight at 6, let me know in person or comment below! #issaquah #newlogo #graphicdesign #community
Thanks to all who came out and supported another incredible Go Figure! For those who couldn't make it, you have two chances left to stop in before the end of the year; don't pass up this unique drawing opportunity on the eastside! #artcommunity #eastsidehappenings #issaquahhighlands #blakelyhall
Who's ready for a dip into the deep end? Go Figure! meets tomorrow at 6:30 for the next themed event: POOL PARTY! (Without the pool) Join us at #blakelyhall in #issaquahhighlands for a summer-themed drawing session with a costumed model, props, and music/refreshments! #issaquah #figuredrawing #art
Whether you were drawing and enjoying the "podcast" conversations or participating in the topic, it's rare for the kind of harmony I witnessed last night to present itself. Can't wait for the next one! #issaquah #drinkndraw #community #art

Ever wanted to try #urbansketching but didn't know where to start? In this a la carte style four-part workshop, Blayne goes over not just basic tools and equipment, but how to tackle different subjects; what to spot, what to ignore, leaving with the confidence to make your own #travelsketchbook!
Way to make Mother's Day night so magical #ESS! New model Indigo Heather came in ready to fly with her hand-made monarch fae costume! Thanks for making last night so memorable, and I can't wait to see you at the next Go Figure! on July 12th! 🏄♀️ #figuredrawing #issaquahhighlands #blakelyhall #art

Elves and dinosaurs lived peacefully together until a mysterious meteor shook their world. Now, the elf Mina and her triceratops friend Tiffany are sent on a quest to summon the sorcerer to protect their lands. But the only sorcerer available is the NECROMANCER. Updates every Monday and Wednesday
The beginning of May marks so many fantastic art opportunities, one of which is my Viewfinder #UrbanSketching Workshop. This is the perfect class for beginners looking for a place to start when drawing locations and scenery from life. Sign up at Happy Time Studio, link in the comments! #artclasses
It's not the first time a curious kiddo has pulled up a seat with their folks and been offered supplies by the table, and it certainly won't be the last! We welcome newcomers of all sizes and would love to have you join us next month! #issaquah #theeastsidesketchsociety #drinkndraw #artcommunity
Last night's #IssaquahDrinknDraw was probably the largest crowd on record. Taking up nearly five tables at Formula Brewing with a range of ages and experience levels, friends were made, media was shared, and conversations buzzed! Catch this magic event next time on the 20th! #Issaquah #thirdspaces
If you haven't had a chance to meet the creative community at Formula Brewing, known as Issaquah Drink n' Draw, tonight will be the first meetup of April! All ages and skill levels are welcome; this is the excuse you've been looking for to branch out and try something new! 🎨 #communityevent #arts
