Caricature Express

Line Quality makes such a difference.
I just drew two pictures - basically the same face -
the main difference is Line Quality.

See how differently the pictures look:

I recently did some quite tame drawings at a Bar Mitzvah.
It’s the Small Caricatures in Mats Option:

Not a job. But just for practice, I decided to draw Bill O’Reilly Hula-Dancing.
Because I saw him on tv, and I was real impressed with his graceful hands.
And I could imagine him hula’ing ’still waters’ for ‘take it easy, now….’

I worked in Colored Pencil on Toned Paper.
Also changed the background to White in PhotoShop.
It’s most interesting, how I did not change any of the Colors on the 2 copies - It’s most interesting that the shirt looks so much duller on the white background:

Constant learning. This is why it’s better to hire an
EXPERIENCED Caricaturist.

I’ll frequently Review my performance after an event.
The photos help me do that.

In this case, even if I had had more time to prepare for my last-minute job,
I wouldn’t have known that I would have preferred making the Uniforms
more uniform. I didn’t know that until after I experienced the event.
Well, now I’m ready for the next one. Almost. I still hope to tweak the uniforms,
but I don’t want to stay up ALL night just reviewing what I’ve done already.

It was Fun - to redraw some of those Boy Scouts from the photos that
I just posted. Even though I was trying to come up with a Uniform uniform,
I still had to redraw the Caricatures.
