Who are you? What is a Dr. Sketchy?
We are the Puerto Rico chapter, coordinated and run by 2B Norris and R.M. Beltran. Viva la revolución!
Dr. Sketchy's is what happens when cabaret neets a life drawing class. Started in New York City in 2005 by Molly Crabapple and A.V. Phibes, Dr. Sketchy's has spread into an international affair with branches as far away as Tokyo and Brisbaine. It features a healthy dose of gorgeous models, unique contests, and great prizes. 
How is Dr. Sketchy’s different from a normal life drawing class?
In normal life classes, silent students sit in a silent room and draw a bored, oft-uninteresting model. In Dr. Sketchy’s we’ve got scandelous performers as models, but no full nudity. The models are non-conventional, burlesque style, with tattoos – or anything else that makes the drawing that more interesting. We’ve got ridiculous art contests (best incorporation of a woodland animal? Best imagined costume?), the occasional comedic skits, good music, flashy prizes and an open bar so you can sketch and drink at the same time!
No drawing experience necessary at all! If you are an artist, aspiring artist, art student, just a student, or simply curious, . . you are invited to attend Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art school. At Dr. Sketchy’s, we don’t care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago. We are an equal opportunity Anti-Art School and do not discriminate against the talentless.
How does the night run?
Seating is first come first served, so we encourage you to arrive about ½ hour early to a Dr Sketchy’s session.
Our MC will welcome you, explain how the night runs, and introduce you to our model(s). The model(s) come out and commence posing on stage - using their props and costumes they interact or do solo poses.
Halfway through the night we have a competition and, depending on the model, a show from the performer. Then it’s back to the longer poses before one final competition for the night.
During the event there is great music and the opportunity to have drinks (and food depending on the venue).
Are there age or any other restrictions for attending a Dr Sketchy's Puerto Rico event?
Yes! . . . You must be over 18 to attend one of our events! There are NO exceptions!
Socially maladept comic geeks - likely living in thier parent's basement, or individuals trying to pick up girls are not welcome!
If you have entitlement issues and want to take them out on the Dr. Sketchy's staff, please stay home! Rudeness to any member of the Dr. Sketchy’s crew will lead to immediate expulsion, without refund. We suggest you adopt a nicer attitude towards service people.
Most importantly, our models are key to the success of the live sessions. We do not want our models to uncomfortable or harassed by anyone in anyway. This applies to Dr. Sketchy staff, volunteers, press, and participants alike.
I’m a photographer. Can I shoot pictures of your hottie models?
No! . . . But you are welcome to come sketch as sketch can. Dr. Sketchy’s has an official photographer. While we love photography, we’ve found the needs of photographers can be antithetical to those of artists - and a flash is downright distracting. We also think that models should get paid more posing for photography and we don’t have the dough. However, you’re welcome to shoot us a line with your portfolio. If we likes whats we sees, we’ll pass it along to the models (who have the final say). If you’re press, of course you can take photos.
If you take photos of any kind, without the expressed permission of both management and model(s), you will be kicked out, with no refund. Models are not zoo animals.
What should I bring? What mediums can I use?
You will need to bring your own pencils / pens and paper for your session at Dr Sketchy’s. All dry mediums are okay, as are neat watercolor sets. Oil paints and other messy mediums are not okay. Please don't make a mess. Sketchpads, drawing boards, or whatever you fancy, as long as it doesn't take up to much space.
Are there tables and chairs at the venue?
There are three tables available for reservation; all other seating is first-come-first-served policy. So get there early for the best seats in the house. There will be seating available for all tickets sold.
Are there limited tickets and can I reserve a seat?
There are a limited number of tickets appropriate to the venue size. Tickets can be bought in advance on this website only. There are three tables available for reservation; all other seating is first-come-first-served policy. There will be seating available for all tickets sold. If you miss out on reserving a table and are concerned about seating, we recommend arriving early!
Do I need a paypal account to purchase tickets or reserve a table?
Nope! Paypal takes all credit cards and debit cards.
My pet ferret died! Can I cancel my reservation?
Sure, if you do it seventy-two hours in advance. We hope your ferret is in rodent heaven.
Hey, why isn’t the model naked? I thought this was life class!
There are some laws even Dr. Skecthy won’t break! Our models show more than enough flesh to get in all the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major you might desire.
Do you charge for these sessions?
Yes, we always have to charge to be able to cover the costs of the venue, the prizes and the models. Depending on the venue and the models, the price may vary. If you help us get sponsors, we all benefit.
If I like the session, can I tip the model?
Yes, please! There will always be a hat or something in front of the model so you can show how much you liked her work.
I want to help out at Dr. Sketchy’s. Need any helper monkeys?
Yessiree! If you want to hang flyers, haul chairs, post on message boards, hand out postcards or spread the word, drop us an email! We will shower you in free swag, invites to exclusive events, and our undying gratitude. Oh, and volunteers always get into the session in question for free.
How do I model or perform at Dr Sketchy’s Puerto Rico?
Boricuas welcome . . . if you are a: Burlesque performer, Belly Dancer, sexy gordita, circus performer, little person, contortionist, female body builder, drag queen, professional ballerina, dancer, aerialist, or other person with unusual physiology, insane costuming or extreme physical skills, I would still like to hear from you.

I would like to sponsor you. How do I do this?

I would love to attend a Dr Sketchy event but don't live in Puerto Rico. What can you help me?
