Why ~ Why do I spend so much time seeking the best ideas for my pictures? I recently received the following email from a client who much appreciated the Outrageous Style that I've already developed:
Alison, You did a wonderful job entertaining the guests at my wedding. Not only were your creations wonderful but so were you. Thank you for working the Cocktail room and catering to the looong line of guests. You were a hit! Thanks so much!
And I agree with her. I look through this blog and I feel very pleased with the happy fun good-likenesses that I've been making. But just because a Few people are 'afraid to jump into the water', here I am again ~ trying to second-guess myself. Trying to develop the Best 'calm-style' Caricatures that I can.
Here I drew two more Calm-Style Caricatures. Black/white. Nice. But I asked myself, would they be better with a little gray shading?
And once again, I find that I have to make Artistic decisions in the moment. I find that I can't really 'formula'. Can't 'always add gray shading on a Calm Caricature. No. Each decision has to be made specifically for the individual picture.
In this case, I like the gray shading on the dark-haired woman. Her lips even looked more like that slash. But I did not like the gray shading on the light-haired woman. She was supposed to look 'pasty'.
I feel driven to try all sorts of ideas. I still prefer my 'honest ~ in the moment~ Intense CAricatures'. But I want to be prepared to do the best I can for people who want something tamer.
