Hi! I am Anna Veedra! Some of you may know me as Anna Huckabay. I am a life drawing model and I host my own donation based online community life drawing session, based out of Brooklyn, NY.
I have been a professional life drawing model for over 14 years in Seattle, Los Angeles and New York City. Some of my clients have included Disney, Nickelodeon, DreamWorks, Rebel, Bungie, California Institute of the Arts and Cornish College of the Arts.
I have designed and created my own virtual life drawing studio on the platform Gather (see studio map below). Gather is a platform with a mission to design a more human and organic way to interact online. My vision with this project is to bring a more engaged experience to the online life drawing community, and to improve upon what currently exists.
Most recent improvements have been implementation of a high resolution live stream, and a quick and easy way to share each others artwork in real time.
I have been incredibly inspired by this recent intersection with modern tech and life drawing. I like to use modeling as a vehicle to story tell and explore. As I tell stories, my sessions may involve incorporating AR (augmented reality) props, costumes and 3D creatures, robotic camera movements, collaborative canvases and varies remixes on what can be done with a drawing session without the limitations of physical space.
Your generous donations will help support my exploration into new platforms, new technology and will help support experiments meant to enhance the online drawing experience for everyone! There are a lot of hidden costs on this digital frontier so your support is both needed and genuinely appreciated.
Your support will also help me maintain a healthy costume rotation, hire other incredible models to work with, and help me sustain while still keeping my sessions accessible.

Anna Veedra
