Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore featuring Fox E. Martin
Thursday, November 12 at Mobtown Ballroom
A livelier life drawing event, Dr. Sketchy’s is where artists of all levels draw fabulous burlesque and variety performers! Enjoy delicious cocktails and compete in zany drawing contests to win free drinks and other awesome prizes! We’ll start off with quick 1- and 2-minute gesture poses and gradually move up to 20-minute sketches. No drawing experience is necessary; just bring your own drawing materials—plus generous cash tips for our model—and join us for some fun figure sketching practice!
We’re super excited to have the fabulous Fox E. Martin back at Sketchy’s Baltimore! This multi-talented performer last modeled for us way back in the spring of 2023. Here’s a little bit about our November muse:
“Beginning their stage journey on the outskirts of Baltimore, this androgynous beauty have been blazing through the burlesque world for well over a decade. While you can typically find them spinning tassels, behind a glitter goatee, or arguing with their sewing machine, they have found a new passion in the world of puppetry. An animal by trade, but an icon on the stage, you’ll want to make some noise for the irresistibly, irresponsible, Fox E. Martin!”
Come early to get the best seats and a drink—maybe even a delicious dinner—then stay after we wrap up to share your work with fellow artists over one last drink. As always, join in our crazy drawing contests for a chance to win some free booze and other neat prizes! No drawing experience is necessary—just remember to bring your own drawing materials, and be ready to generously tip our model!

A few things to know about our venues!
Mobtown Ballroom & Café is at the corner of North and Maryland Avenues in the Station North Arts District. Parking around the venue is metered street parking, with the closest parking garage on Charles St. across from the Charles Theater, around four blocks away. Food is available for purchase at the venue, so no outside food, please. As always, we ask that you promptly clean any spills or messes that may happen while you work, but we’ll be stressing this since the venue has just been renovated with a beautiful new wood floor, which is why we are adding dip pens and drawing inks on the prohibited media list.
Le Mondo is a lovely artist-owned mixed-use art space in the Bromo Arts District downtown, on a resurgent block of Howard St. that is also home to Current Space and Cajou Creamery. Parking options include metered street parking as well as a few public garages within a few blocks. It’s also less than two blocks south of the Centre St. Light Rail stop. Le Mondo has a full bar with a menu of delicious cocktails, but no food, so feel free to bring your own dinner!
Please note: Ticketing for Le Mondo sessions are handled by the venue, so Le Mondo tickets are nonrefundable. However, as long as a Le Mondo membership discount wasn’t applied, you may be able to transfer your unused tickets to a future session—just contact us! Lastly, Le Mondo accepts cash, Venmo, and CashApp for drop-in ticket purchases, but credit cards cannot be used for admission at the door.
