I agreed to draw a quick Party Picture while one of this Weekend's Clients will be opening Gifts at her Bridal Shower. What to do? How to approach it? I practiced by using photos of Bridal Showers that I found online. Many different photos. From many different events. I experienced how I can handle this type of picture by looking at Only One photo at a time. So I was able to pretend I was just 'shifting my focus' from one part of a scene to another part of a scene ~ without knowing all the things I would be including at the beginning. Just letting the picture grow.

Aaaah. Taking it piecemeal ~ One aspect of the scene at a time ~ This is the right kind of picture for this client. It's sort of like what I draw during Speeches and Presentations for Corporate Business Meetings.

Happy Day! Party Entertainment Ideas Inc received the following 5 out of 5-Sar Rating:

So Much Fun! She never wanted to have an empty chair! Was always drawing someone! Everyone loved their cartoon portraits and couldn’t be happier! She even went up to the birthday boy to make sure he got his done first!

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

Egads. No sooner than I develop that Nose idea, than I feel intrigued to try something else. Completely different. Has nothing to do with the last thing I had been studying.

This time I felt intrigued by some simple shape ideas. I like the clean happy fun answers of what to draw. I decided ot try it based on random photos that I found online.

My very first attempt came out great. This is what I was looking for.

Tried it again, Came out good. But this time ~ as is usually tempting for me ~ I went into to much details.

So I decided to Simplify the next face:

So easy. Could I do this at Parties and Events? Dare I? And once again, what about the 'pretty' one?

It's always something ~
