time to get serious. haha ~ serious about Caricatures ?? it's more like time to stop being so serious in my studies. Because I have to get in gear for the Weekend's Events.

So I Googled faces in one of the towns where I will be working, chose one at random, and drew this nice Caricature.

I felt like it needed more emphasis, so I went back into it with a wider Marker here.

then I said, oh fwibbles ~ because I cut off the bottom part of the teeth by thickening the top line of the upper lip ~ bad idea. So NOW I'M READY TO JUMP OUT OF THE BOX AND CARICATURE FOR REAL.

That resulted in this Exaggerated Caricature .

Looks like we're going to have Fun ~

Repeat Client for tomorrow's Event ~ Hey! That's today already.

I wanted to get some sleep, so I was just going to do a quick linework Caricature with this Event in mind, but..... this is what happens.

The Event is for drawing the Guests as Mermen and Mermaids. For a Beer Company. Not sure, but I think they will be providing the background bodies/scenes this time (they're providing the paper). But just in case, I felt like it wouldn't be a big deal to draw my own while practicing with a random face I found online. But messing around, not Really Doing it, just a waste of time. I finally had to focus.

And it is good that I do Something before an event. Honing my approach now, I'll do better and feel more confident when I'm actually At the Event. First, my Sizing was way wrong. Better now, but I still want to play around with sizes a little more. Then I had trouble turning my front-view body. I really must Look at sideview bodies to figure out how to turn a front-post that I might like. Then, well..... I couldn't get away with 'I'm not really going to give effort to the drawing because it's time to get some sleep' idea. If I want to draw a Caricature, I really have to Do it. The 3rd pass is finally usable. Now I know how to do it.

I'm baaaack. Woke up and I'm able to draw Caricatures again. I attached a small paper to last night's _________________. And as I predicted, I'm super ready to handle tonight's #Event. Only forgot the 'crown' ~ easy ~ but just fussing and complicating my Zone. I can do it when that's what I'm hired for, but I'm supposed to be a CARICATURE Artist. Based on what I actually See.

Here are a few of the Digital Caricatures that I drew at a Gala Event. Easy Event ~ Easy People. But yeow I was required to do Walk-Around Digitals. Do you know what it's like to draw your lines on an IPad while holding it up in the air??

I've been Traveling recently. Brought along my Ipad because I thought it would be a good idea since I would be jumping right back into a Digitial Caricature Event the day after coming home. That kept me occupied through all the waiting and plane rides. Even though I didn't do much Party type work ~ I spent as long as I wanted detailing and ruminating over these pictures ~ I feel like I got that out of my system and now I have insights to make tomorrow's Digital Party Caricatures even better than ever!
