Sometimes I forget to photograph the person I am drawing. I could sigh 'Oh', Sighoh, but I don't. It gives me a chance to see if the Caricture can stand on its own. To see if it's fine Artwork ~ universal message ~ regardless of 'who it looks like'.

and Getting ready for tomorrow's First Event now ~ for Regular Caricatures.

I decided to redraw a Caricature that I drew a digitally a couple of years ago.

But tonight's drawing was drawn with Markers. The old one was Fine. But I feel like I can see my artistic growth. Regardless of the medium. This new one looks much more lively. And it felt better to draw it.

It's a good thing I give attention to getting ready for my Events ahead of time. Tonight I drew a simple Caricature based on a photo from my website. Originally drawn with Markers at a Party, tonight I made a new drawing with the IPad. Because I have to be ready to run right in and start drawing at my 2nd Event tomorrow. It will be for Digital #Caricatures.

I used the regular template that I often use. But I felt so surprised with the Coloring Layer. I don't know why it was putting little dots all over the Colored areas. It didn't matter which Brush I used. I tried it with several different brushes ~ all had those unique White Dots. Looked intriguing this time, but I would feel frustrated if I couldn't control that at tomorrow's #Party. So I will go make a New Template now.

Time for a new one anyway. I've really simplified since I first made that template, and I don't use most of it these days anyway.

btw, hmmmm...... I only drew Yellow Teeth alone in my Studio. I would Never do that at a Party. Even though, objectively looking at Colors, Everyone's teeth are offwhite ~ usually in the Yellow-family. Some darker than others. (ok ~ a few of you have such White Teeth that they look blue). Anyway, it's curious that I cannot draw Yellow Teeth without insulting people. And I even feel like it looks bright and golden And Nice in this Caricature.

Wow! I had a chance to see Cirque Dreams this night. They had hired me to draw at their VIP Event, which went very well. Everyone was pleased. So pleasant and easy to draw. Except for the lighting. The Little Lights that I bring along are barely enough Oh. I'll post one of my Caricatures here.

Anyway, I had so much Fun! I was encouraged to Dress Up Cirque Theme, like maybe an Elf Hat, but I did the whole kit-and-caboodle instead. Really got into it like Yeah ~ Then, when I was closing up, one of the Guests gave me a ticket to stay for the Show!

Talk about Dreams. I had driven from Long Island to Connecticut for this Event after only 5-hours Sleep. Handled the Event Upbeat in the dark, and then found myself in a dark theatre ~ watching the amazing convolutions and costumes while I drifted in and out of focus ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
