Whew ~ That was Fun. On Your Mark, Get Set, Go !
A woman called last Saturday morning, asking me to draw at a School Event on Monday. But the event is for a limited amount of time. And the PTA wants a Lot of kids drawn.
"Well, I could do what I call 'Line-Only' ", I told her. "And the pictures would go faster if we're not doing 'couples'......"
The woman saw this website. Asked if I could send her some samples of the 'Line Only'.
"Wellllll, okay", I said, as I thought about getting out of here for tonight's gig.
Then I took out my supplies, setting up my work area which has papers and bills all over the place. I opened to a recent post here, I set my timer for 20 minutes, and I started drawing. Amazed that I felt calm as soon as I started drawing. In my Very Quick-Cac Style that I use when a party needs it. Here's what I came up with. Looks good -
I did notice that when I started drawing, I did still need a slight pre-draw, but once I started Going, many did not need a predraw. And if I had 'lines' on the paper from the predraw, I did have to put in a little shading - to make the picture look right. And I could have skipped some of the darkers outlines - things like that. But I did want the pictures to look good - even though I was 'in a race'. I was hitting 30 per hour alone at home. But I would still only estimate 20 - 30 Quick Cacs per hour at an Event. (My regular Caricatures usually run about 10 per hour.)
Fun experience. But it doesn't use all the more-advanced Caricature abilities I've developed. Glad to do Quick-Cacs when needed, but I wouldn't want to do Only these. I wouldn't want to forget how to do what I worked so hard to develop. So we could say that I do the real detailed Studio Caricatures, then the moderately detailed Party Caricatures, and Then the Quick-Cacs - like these.
