Another coworker caricature. This one was with very little in the way of a line drawing. Usually my sketch or line drawings are pretty detailed and fully fleshed out. But with this one it was a very rough sketch that I thought looked enough like her that I could continue on. And I this one was practically done in one day, even stuck to it and did the hair (my arch nemesis) right after the face and in one sitting. Yay me!

Catching up with posts

I didn't realize I had so many that I hadn't posted. Just finished Tully yesterday, tried a tutorial for drawing hair. It started out okay then it started looking bad, so I erased it all and started again. Still didn't feel like it was going the way I wanted but I stayed with it and improvised here and there. I think it works well enough.

Adam: Commission
Had a fund raiser for my daughters school and put it in the company's mail room with a sign stating anyone donating $20 or more would get a caricature by me. This one is kind of different from the others in my gallery this one started in color instead of the gray values. I had the initial sketch done but wanted to see if I could get it done over the weekend.

Dave & Dad: Commission
A friend at work who lost his dad about a year ago asked if I would draw a portrait of his dad and him, said he didn't have very many pictures of him and less that any better that this. As I'm posting this I remember he owes me lunch at a Sushi shop.

Kap & Brooke: Commission
Co-worker and his fiancé. Final was printed on canvas and given to her for Christmas.

Debbie
I knew this day would come, when I would have to do a caricature of the Commander and Chief. The CEO of our agency has been feeling under-the-weather and we planned to send her a "cheer me up" each week, with a caricature pasted on white board allowing for well wishes to be penned all around.

Charlene: Commission
Had a fund raiser for my daughters school and put it in the company's mail room with a sign stating anyone donating $20 or more would get a caricature by me. Charlene missed the opportunity but I told her I'd draw it anyway and throw her 20 in the next fund raiser my daughter has.
