Took this photo when I walked into the Art Supply Store. I like the slogan on the shirt. Erase Hate.

I figure that we could Erase all sorts of things we don't like. We could erase it with Rainbow colors ~ like these. It's good to be an #Artist.

As with everything we do, the Experience is different than just saying it.

First, I erased Fear with a rainbow line ~ like the one I saw on the Shirt. In order to do that, I made an Opaque Layer of White, and then I drew Transparent Colors on top of it. I needed to do that so I could make the bright Colors obliterate what was underneath it.

Then I erased Panic with White.

Then I tried to erase a Scene ~ going right into it with Transparent Rainbow Colors. On top of the Black background that the tshirt-Artist chose so perfectly, the Transparent Rainbow Colors did not look delightful. I realized that we need an intermediary. Like going to Jesus to erase our sins. For this project's intermediary, I had to put a Layer of White over the Scene before I could apply the Colors. And then I let the Colors fly off the white ~ to even take over the Black scene.

I feel good.

I particularly Love that I just discovered that we don't have to somehow Stop the bad things from the past like we do with a Pencil Eraser. In this Non-physical world, we can easily Erase them the way I did just now in PhotoShop. We can erase past sins by doing something lovely on top of them. Afterwards.

At this Event, I was drawing Caricatures real fast from my Photographs (which I was required to Discard at end of Event).

Client told me to write 6 things on each Caricature (did Not want to have it printed up ahead of time), photograph each person, and then draw the Caricature from my photos while they attended a meeting. That left me with only One-and-a-Half Hours to draw 18 Caricatures.

I work by the Hour, not by the piece, but I do Try to accommodate my Clients if possible. This was just a little faster than I usually draw, so I pushed myself hoping to meet their request. I did it! Funny how it feels so Fast when you Up your speed ~ whether Jogging Or Drawing Caricatures.

I like how they inspired me to come out with a lot of stuff real fast. To get the Creativity flowing. By Producing it, I just kept getting better and better at it. And even the first ones were fine to use.

Here's one of them.

I'll be drawing Caricatures at a 1-year-old's Party this Weekend. So I figured I'd look at some Anime for inspiration. Not that I would be drawing Anime. Actually, not sure How it would be affecting me. I just figure that Anime has a lot of Big Eyes that people like for their Babies.

Then I drew some random Baby faces just anywhere on the page. The first Caricature was still inspired by the Anime I looked at. I imposed those big oval Eyes onto the face, and it worked.

But it felt uncomfortable to just draw the same eyes for each baby. And the 2nd Caricature that I drew really didn't lend itself to that eye-shape. It still came out good, still looked like it was inspired by Anime.

Then there wasn't really any room left on the paper, but I wanted to draw more. I drew 2 more babies (small), and I dropped my Anime idea. It's a good idea, but it loses its appeal if I feel like I have to impose a standard Anime face onto each Baby. Babies, like all people, have all sorts of expressions and uniques.

I feel like it was good to expose myself to Anime. It might or might not affect my drawings.

Instead of getting right back to recreating my Palettes in Procreate, I started with a new app. Fresco. I felt excited with it because it is more traditionally Painterly than Procreate. I'm still determined to apply my Oil Painting techniques to the cleaner IPad. Here is my first attempt at making a Caricature with it. Painted alone in my Studio. Based on a random photo that I picked up here from a Caricature that I previously drew at a Party.

It did feel more Painterly than the Procreate app for sure. But I'm still feeling like I'd better to use the Procreate app for drawing Caricatures at Parties and Events.
