Caricature Express

Maybe I don’t have enough deadlines or something.
But I just spent my time dreaming about a word that
I wrote on one of the Caricatures that I posted yesterday.

First, I was thinking that it would have been better
if I predrew the letters bfore inking. It’s always a
toss of the coin during party-work -
to predraw or not to predraw.
So here I tried it again:

Eh. A hodgepodge. Would it be better if I decided
ahead of time whether twould be AnglesAnglesAngles
or gloppy curves?

That took too much thinking to be done in a Party
situation. Oh well, Party Art is immediate. Fast and
in the moment. The Artist has to let people really
see her - unedited and raw.

But there are other options. Curly writing, of course,
but that isn’t usually wanted on Boy’s Pictures.
Calligraphy. I think that one of the first considerations
should be Spacing. The Graffiti stuff I just posted above
is tight. Perhaps I could use expanded simple letters sometimes:

Or not playing with Spacing at all. Not squashed together, and
not expanded out. How about Speed and Bravado:

It’s all good.
Then I got to designing something that Looks like the meaning of
the word? With Line-Quality:

That doesn’t look like the meaning of the word.
But I feel finished - Don’t feel like working on it any more. Just now.
