Look, Ma! I'm a caricature artist!!

I did it! Finally jacked someone up! Screw the obviously lop-sided glasses, I LOVE THIS SKETCH!! And I will keep on getting better everyday! WOO-HOO!!

the Runners-Up

This past week marks the first time I've ever worked more than one day in a row at caricatures (the total being four). By scrolling down through the other August posts, you can see that I'm starting to work a lot of the kinks out, such as coloring hair, speed, and basic line confidence. Still, the above sketch is definitely the highlight of my week.


The placement of the faces is off, but it actually makes the cartoon funnier.








You'd be screaming too if you were about to get kicked in the ball.

(Zing!)







These guys sat down at 8:15. (We close at 8:00) It's not a great sketch, I'm just psyched that my slow ass pulled it off in only 20 minutes.

He (yes, he) came out much better than her.

Day 3

It never fails that I like a sketch as soon as it's done a lot more than when I get home and review the pics. Nonetheless, here is the best of my Thursday at Top Gun:






First sketch of the day,and probably my best in terms of line quality. Too bad I forgot to take the photo while they were there.






Didn't realize he put his glasses back on for the pic. I also didn't come close to getting her eyes right.











Bad photo, mediocre likeness.















This one had a nice 'creepy yet funny' quality. I would have tried harder to sell it, but it attracted the attention of these four...










I really like how the mom came out. Her daughter has a kind of Disney princess quality to her... too safe, shoulda had more fun.










The darker chick is absolutely my favorite face sketch I've done to date. The hair rocks, I was able to blend all 15 colors in her eyes, and I got the neck to complement the sketch instead of just being a stick for the head. Too bad the lighter chick didn't come out nearly as awesome. Eh, she loved it anyway... probably because I really nailed her necklace.

Sophomore Day

My second of 4 straight days at caricatures. Today I really started to loosen up, especially on my demos.


This chick couldn't stop laughing at this demo I did of her. She ALMOST bought it, but didn't. Then, while I was on break, she came back and bought it. THEN, she came back again and asked Ivy to redo it. Ivy told her to come find me after my break...



...and SHE DID!! Much better this time! Now she's actually an Asian! (Thanks, Ivy!)



Sea World body!!!
















Sea World body #2:
"Can you draw us on a dolphin?"

Sophomore Day Part 2: The demos

I like this one because it was quick and loose. (Insert sick comment here.)



AND he wound up paying for it!!) (Insert sick comment #2.)



The overly cute sketch...

needs longer eyebrows.







Drew him last Friday. It's growing on me the more I look at it, so now I'm posting it. (Even though his nose is WAY too small.)

What do you call a female bloke?

These little British kids were adorable. I always tell kids to watch the reflection in my sunglasses while I draw. It's a great way to keep them looking at you while you sketch. The girl who got the fairy body told her mom that my glasses gave me special drawing powers.





It's hard to see, but I love the way I drew her mouth, which had almost no teeth. The body came out pretty cool too, but the hair looks bad. Shoulda been all bangs. A slightly busier background wouldn't have hurt either.







This little blokette asked to be a yellow princess. She also wanted pink and purple flowers. I don't think she wanted such an ugly castle though.
