The Artist should be drawing for herself. Or else she's just a hack. She here I am again. Drawing and drawing and drawing and drawing in my Time Off. Even though my previous style already works just fine at Events.

But here I am still learning my new style. I arbitrarily chose a photo of a woman that I previously drew just fine at a Party. I felt Blocked against using my new style tonight, but I made it through to Success.

I lost the first picture I drew ~ trying the new style. Came out crummy anyway. Maybe it's just not my Zone for this moment. Another part of Artwork besides trying new things ~ is to Not Force It. Comes out best if I do what's working. So i put myself onto Uninspired Automatic. Feh.

Nope. So I went back to my original reason for drawing on my time-off. Nope ~ this isn't what I'm looking for. The next one was really getting away from me. Then an ugly picture. That's not right. Then perky, but wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Am I really just drawing the same Incorrect choices over and over? Stop. Look again. Come up with something different. I started the circle thing. Got it right the 2nd time. Pretty good Caricature, but I sure hope I would never draw anything like that at a Party. It would get a good laugh, but that's not who I am. It's not what I want to do.

I want to help people accept themselves with all their idiocyncracies, and feel thrilled with themselves ~ just the way they really are. I like clean, energetic drawings. My final drawing here: Success

Even when I'm hired to draw Black and White Caricatures, I appreciate if my Client lets me use at least a Little Colors Sometimes. When the Color is actually Part of the Caricature Statement. (Note: These were all drawn on White Paper. The bluish color of some of them is caused by the Photography. If I was photographing the Caricature under the Blue Tent that my Client so kindly provided for our Comfort.)

Here are a few Caricatures that I drew at some recent Events. I'm feeling frustrated from all the Bells and Whistles that come up when I move my Photos from my iPhone to my Computer. But I can always rely on feeling Great once I'm drawing at the Events.

One Photo might come up 3 times ~ AAE, IMG, And MOV ~ Unless those are Separate Photos that I lose because I can't access AAE and MOV in a usable form on my Computer anyway.

And Some of the Photos come up Out of Order. Like the Reference Photo might be 80 Photos away from the Photo of the Caricature ~ even though I snapped them one right after the other.

So I've been even slower than usual at posting my Photos. Even though I feel Soooo Pleased with the Caricatures that I've been drawing. Such Happy Pictures. Which is what I actually draw them For. Posting them here is just extra

It felt amazing. I was so prolific ~ drawing so comfortably.

We didn't want that day to end. Precious times with Family and Friends
