Sooo, what you do is…..

I’ll frequently have people ask me - “Sooo, what you do is….
to take one feature and make it real big……”

“Yes, yes”, I mindlessly say ~ because I’m busy drawing and I can’t really interrupt my experience to start teaching and explaining ~ or else I wouldn’t be doing it anymore. I would be talking instead.

When I’m really in my game, when I’m really ‘in the zone’, I’m imitating the expression that I’m seeing with my own face. I’m feeling it. So I know what the different ‘parts’ are doing. I might be ‘dancing with the long curly hair’. Or scrunching up my nose. Or or puppy-dogging my eyes. Or nervously looking around (I don’t like when my subject does that ~ It doesn’t feel good for me to have to imitate it) ~ that sort of thing. And this is imposed upon the shapes that initially Wow me as the person approaches. My first impression of what the person looks like.

Here are some simple pictures that I drew at a child’s party. I’ll try to remember my main impression of what I saw:


It was the narrow triangle on the bottom of the face
which repeated the shape of the smiling mouth ~
……..
……………


Oooh ~ I felt scared to do this one ~
The girl’s mother told me how they’re both professional models
because she’s so pretty and all…….
………..
………..


Smooth sleek hair ~
‘Tut-tut-now’ lips
…………..
…………..


Aaaah ! that debonair glance ~ Those luscious lips …………..
…………


I wish I could touch that haircut
………….
………


wide-eyes, led around as a little girl ~
reminded me of myself when I was little and
didn’t have a clue as to what was going on
……………
………….


those teeeth.
not aware of that suggestive look in his young eyes.
Boys.
……………

    “Then more friends can talk about this problem”

  • Alison on February 5th, 2012 at 11:57 am

    Oh ~ I feel bad for people who see their real looks as ‘a problem’. And I feel bad for people whose friends think they’re really ugly.

    I like people. I like the way God created us. I like to see how life affects us. I like to use my eyes. My hands.

I enjoy the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, fantastic site!

    I seldom create responses, however i did some searching and wound up here Caricature Express » Blog Archive » Sooo, what you do is…… And I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be simply me or does it appear like a few of these remarks appear like coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you list of every one of all your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  • Alison on February 7th, 2012 at 2:16 pm

    Hi Pop ~ Your questions are okay ~ I don’t have much time to go to Facebook, Twitter, stuff like that. So I just quietly keep my own blog going, and people find me here. I feel glad to welcome you here with us.

    Back to the Drawing Broad, Alison

    I needed to compose you this little remark to help give many thanks as before on the pretty tactics you have featured at this time. It is simply pretty generous with people like you to supply freely exactly what a few individuals might have supplied as an electronic book to make some profit on their own, particularly considering that you could have tried it if you ever wanted. The ideas likewise acted to become a good way to be aware that other individuals have a similar dreams the same as my very own to learn somewhat more in terms of this condition. I think there are lots of more pleasurable sessions in the future for many who look into your blog post.
