Here are a few of the Caricatures that I drew at the Party where my Agent requested that I draw Tamer Caricatures. It actually turned out to be a marvelous group of people ~ much quite ready to have fun. It was a Childrens' Birthday Party ~ with both Children and Grown Ups. They asked me to draw the Children first ~ only drawing the Adults if there is still time after that.

The children were playing ~ running around the house ~ coming back into the Main Party Room for Caricatures, Food, Costume-play to be like (Kiss?) Musicians, Playing Piano, and Drums ~ one of the Very Young Children just blew my mind at how cool he was ~ seemed to be playing the Drums without having had lessons, not formally 'schooled' in 'drum playing', but HE SOUNDED GREAT!

Anyway, I digress. The Children were there for Fun. And the Grown Ups (including a lot of Parents) were comfortably looking on ~ snacking ~ and obviously entertained with the Caricatures that were coming out. And like I said, the more I stretched the boundaries, the better they get. And the more animated the party guests get. They were very open to Exaggeration, but I kept it toned down. Especially at the beginning of the Party. But the guests (and host/hostess) were encouraging me to make funny pictures.

I never quite let it go. I kept a lid on it because my Agent had same 'Tamer'. Awwww..... the people were very happy with my performance, but if they only knew what I Could have done.....

Getting ready for today's Party. My Agent told me to draw tamer Caricatures. So I had to put my Exciting stuff on hold ~ they do Wow people when they are suprised, woken up, by what I can do. But for people who are afraid to Experience, well.... I can accommodate them.

hey requested just a little bit tamer. Switching gears, I figured that I should do a few practices here in the studio. For a Children's Party. I feel pleased with them. I am looking forward to today's #Event.

Only the first one felt a little boring to me, yet even that one looks fine. It would go over well at a Party. And then, I loosened up after nary one or two. Still tame ~ which means still officially Faces with the kindergarten paradigm for what a 'face' is. But Yes! I was still having Fun with them. Fun ~ which is what Art has to be ~ to be real art

Preparing for upcoming events. I'm looking forward to the next one ~ with a Client who found me at a previous event. I will probably be able to draw however I want. So I wanted to get in to the Exaggerated Caricatures. I feel pleased to draw Exaggerated Caricatures. It's a less-common skill.

But the following four Events ~ all for One Client through my Agent ~ they said that they loved my Toned Down Caricatures. I feel happy to please people.

So I figured I would play around with Exaggerated Caricatures for the next few days ~ until my next Event. Then I would switch my interest to my Tamer Style. I drew the following 2 Caricatures today ~ based on photos of people that I previously drew just fine at previous events. I wanted to get into the Zone where I make Exaggerated Caricatures

Nice. I feel very pleased with them. I can do this.

But then I realized that the first upcoming gig will be all Adults. And, oh, I spent more than half my off time drawing Exaggerated Children's Caricatures today. It's very different to draw Adults than Children.

Aaaaaaand, btw, the Name of the first Client is the same as the name of the Town where I will be working for the 2nd Client.

Okay. I know what day it is and I know where I am

I drew this boy because I have a gig coming up this weekend where I will be drawing alongside my new Agent. I felt like I should drop my current intense studies, to make sure I will be ready to bring Easy Fun to the Event.

The reference picture was from some sort of a contest.
