and one more thing

May 16th, 2012

I forgot to mention one more Complication. It’s when people ask me to predraw scenes. Most people are happy with slim or cute or muscular Bodies, so I only have to draw one per gender and age. But still, the predrawn scene should take into account the age of the guest ~ 5-year-old girls don’t have bodies like 15-year-old girls. And 15-year-old girls don’t dress like 50-year-old women. And there are just as many variations for boys. A cute little 5-year-old boy doesn’t look right with the body of a 15-year-old boy.

But if my client gives me a chance to point this out, it’s still complicated. Because I might get hired to print up ten papers each for several different scenes. This means I will be spending time interrupting the drawing-Entertainment to look through for the right paper. And if mats are also involved…..

Oh.

What works best for most Parties is Direct Caricatures.
Face-Only. Black and White Or Color ~ Artist’s Choice in the Moment based on what she sees, what she draws, and what would best Entertain the guests who are there. It’s great on individual papers, and it’s Super if those Beautiful Mats are included.

I Meet the Nicest People

December 6th, 2010

One of the best things about my job is that I meet the nicest people.
I see a small slice of time with them while I try to draw quickly,
yet I’m still blessed with a sincere connection, sincere hearts.

Here’s a picture of one of those families. The 2-year-old child, so interested in everything going on around him. The watchful parents, so calm and in charge. Seeing real people in real time, I can appreciate how difficult parenting can be. I’m interested in everybody - all kinds of personalities and faces. And I’m so grateful to be included even if for just these few moments.

I’m glad I have this blog. To have opportunity to
thank the beautiful people that I meet.
