Nothing wrong with the previous post. Those Caricatures are great! But nothing much to do this afternoon at home. So just fiddling around with that new idea of making more consistent poses/pictures, I drew new Caricatures from some of the previous post's photos. It feels like 'wasting time', but I know it's what keeps me comfortable and fresh when I got to my next Paid Event.

Here's what I came up with. Once again, I can see that sometimes the pictures look smoother with the new style, but other times the pictures look more vibrant with the style I had been using for years. So one way is not better than the other. We just do whatever we do, spend our time however we spend our time.

It feels good to be versatile. Good to have more than one approach. There's no one answer that works for every picture.

We can't even pin down a one-answer-for-all-pictures about line quality. Sometimes heavy lines make the picture look more glamorous. But sometimes heavy lines make the picture look too chunky. By practicing, I get a good handle on that, but you can still never be sure until you do it. Each of my pictures are as unique as each of the people.

Here are some pictures from a very pleasant Party. A comfortable family Party. This was the 2nd time I had been hired to draw for these people.

Oh Yes ~ Now I'm really into this. Happy to be using my IPad for Studio work. I spend so much time patiently going into All the Pixels. I actually like doing this. I hope to get lots more IPad Commissions.

In this case, I followed my clients instructions of course. He likes a lot of Words in his pictures. Good thing that I just like using the IPad.

Client was very pleased ~ His presentation went over well.
But I have to get it faster if I ever want to use my IPad at Parties and Events.

UPDATE 2017: Egads ~ When I remember how crude it felt to use those old styluses on the IPads, I feel thrilled about our New Technology. These days I've switched to the White Pencil and the ProCreate App, and I would never consider working with the Supplies that I had when I made these CARICATURES.

Look at this Fun Party. Just held in a basement, but the decorations made a fantasy dream for the girls. Most of them wearing jeans and t-shirts, but once they put on the theme-supplies that the hostess provided, they were transported. I've always felt that Romance is actually Larger then Life. We Make It Happen.

I just wish I my job had been made clear to me. I came prepared to draw Caricatures, but this is more in the way of Fashion Sketches. Luckily, I've done Fashion Sketches as well as Caricatures very often, so I was able to make the switch on the spot. But it's not comfortable for me to

Change. Just as I'm about to 'go on'. Because I have a mind-set, and I've done Warm Ups before an event. To get 'in the zone'. Feels like I'm thrown into a big open field without an anchor.
