There are many ways to draw the same face.

Posted Jun 2023

Getting ready for drawing Caricatures at a Bat Mitzvah today. I figured I'd do some warm-ups. From random reference photos. They all came out good.

But to choose a style! First, I drew a Caricature in the style that I feel pleased to have evolved over years of doing this. I feel like this style impresses clients and guests the most. It looks slick. And evolved. Not something that a beginner could have done.

Then I drew from the same reference photo, the same face. But I used the playful style that I really admire best. It's Fun. And I feel like that's what Caricatures are supposed to be. Fun. Playful. Clients and guests do like it, but I feel like they Think it's somehow easier to do. Because the shapes look simple. It is Not easier to do.

Then, for the 3rd Caricature that I drew here ~ I was planning on using the first 'evolved' style again. Based on a different random photo. Just warming up. But as soon as I started drawing, the obvious heart-shape of the girl's face took over. So I started drawing using the 2nd 'playful' style instead. But I didn't maintain it. Because my mind was already set on doing the first, 'professional' style. No conscious thought about it, my mind just switched back to what I originally planned to do. I continued this Caricature with the first 'evolved' style. Like I forgot that I changed my mind. The picture came out super. But it didn't feel good to draw it. Because I felt confused inside.

To rein in our brains, to decide at every moment what we want to do.....Clarity. My Brain might be the next thing that I want to study. (Maybe that will help me remember to stick to my diet ~ heheh. Not to 'change my mind' when the cake is served.)

What does a Caricature Artist do on her Day Off?

Posted May 2023

Takin it easy. Just drawing for myself. While watching tv.

Apparently that's what a Caricature Artist does when she has a Day Off.

Caribbean Fashion Sketches

Posted May 2023

I have 2 gigs tomorrow. The first one is for CARICATURES. My Client said it's a Communion/Baptism and Double Birthday for his Mother and his Mother-in-Law. Just yesterday, I drew Caricatures at a Wedding, so I feel warmed up for the first Event.

But the 2nd one is for FASHION SKETCHES. Quick presto-changeo. Engagement Party. My Client said it's Harlem Rennaisance Theme, and she hopes people will dress the theme (like I will ~ I already have my clothes together. Fun.). But client said she's expecting that most people will be wearing Bright Colorful Dresses, because they are Caribbean. She said that's what they always wear to the Parties.

I figured I should warm up for that. So I drew a few practice Fashion Sketches here tonight. Focusing on Caribbean Fashion. And I did coach myself to remember a few thangs at the party.

The first picture I drew ~ the one with the colorful jumpsuit/cape.... Took too long to draw/color. Not sure yet how I would handle such a pattern at the event, but it usually comes to me when I wake up in the morning. After going to sleep with the question on my mind. For meanwhile, I was much faster with the subsequent pictures that I drew here tonight.

And I decided that I hate drawing on the Shiny Silver Paper. It was slick, and it felt hard to get the Colors to cooperate. I only had 2 sheets of the shiny silver paper, and it's good that I 'wasted' one sheet by practicing on it. So I won't be dragged down by it during the event.

Long Island Fishing

Posted Mar 2023

Lol. My Agent asked me to clarify where I am currently accepting events. I said Westchester County and Southwestern Connecticut and Long Island ~ meaning both Nassau County and Suffolk County.

But how to describe what I mean about Long Island to a person who lives in a different State? I know. I'll draw a picture. Hahaha. It turned out looking like a Fish! Quite appropriate for our coastal geography.

Nassau County and Suffolk County are the Counties on Long Island. I travel anywhere in those Counties. There are countless cities/towns in those Counties on Long Island. Here is the quick map of Long Island that I drew.

Very inaccurate, and my picture certainly doesNot list all the cities and towns, but I felt like this described what I mean by Long Island, Nassau County, and Suffolk County. I can travel to all the cities and towns that are in Nassau County and Suffolk County (in addition to the ones I included in my picture:
