Wedding Caricature Gig

Well, I know it feels like a century since I posted artwork.. so out of the blue.. I figured I'd try to catch up on some things I've done.

This was just a gig I did for a wedding earlier in the year. Though I wasn't able to take enough photos of the work I did mainly because I was the only artist.. and there was a heck of a line to get done. lol. 

   

This couple (below) didn't get on my list to get a caricature in time.. so they emailed me & they were able to get one via-email. 

Wellington Village - Caricature Gig

Here's a few pics I thought I'd share from a gig I drew at 2 days ago. Sadly, I was only able to take a few pictures of my work due to the HIGH demand of people that were there. The Line I had of people wanting to get drawn was so giant. But at least I was able to take a few. 

(Above Pic): This was the sign for the event.

(Above Pic): Here's a Dirt-Biker kid

(Above Pic): And a 'Surfin Kid'

(Above Pic): Here were two 'Basketball Pros' on the same. I thought the kid on the
right was so funny. I love how his eyes dissappeared when he smiled. 

(Above Pic): Yaay, that's me - Sketch Artist in blue. Of course the place paid me.. 

but it was free for the people walking around. :)

Caricature Gig at Montsalvat in Eltham, Australia

I got invited to do a caricature gig at this incredibly gorgeous place recently.. and I couldn't help but take photos to share! So classy, elegant & picture perfect! :) This building was: "The Great Hall" - You can see some of the bridal party gathering.

The married couple would leave on their honeymoon in that car down there.

"The Bluestone Chapel"

Here's a close up of "The Bluestone Chapel"

Looking to the left of the Bluestone Chapel.. takes you to this little creek.

A far shot of the astonishing view

Looking through the trees. For some reason, it reminded me of the "Little Red Riding Hood" storybook. hee-hee. ;D

This was the building I worked in called, "The Long Gallery"
And here are some of the drawings I drew! :) I barely took photos.. cause I was so busy. But luckily there was a photographer by the name of "Lakshal Perera" there who was kind enough to take a few! :)

Caricature Gig for a Birthday

Yeah.. this was fun. I wish I would have taken more photos though. :P I need a photographer. lol. ;)

Some Quick Caricatures - All Freehand

Lately all of my work I've been doing.. behind the scenes for the series of books I've been working on.. has mostly been all with the Wacom Tablet. But considering I've been having technical difficulties.. (until I get a new one) I've been loosening up my hand again drawing lots of caricatures. I nearly forgot how wonderful it was to do! It feels GREAT to pick up the marker again & draw on some real live paper! I love it! It's even nicer to draw a different image every 7-10 minutes rather then drawing & editing the exact same book page for much longer then what any person would want to be working on them for. :) So it's been quite a relaxing week of caricaturing. I'm loving it.. and missing it.








This guy really reminded me of "Quentin Tarantino" doesn't he? So crazy! He HAS to be related or something!




Coloring was so fun too. I enjoyed coloring these guys using Photoshop. Yes, my Wacom Tablet is not working.. so it was a bit frustrating to color these at the beginning. But hey! I got through it okay, thank the Lord! ;D

Back to some Caricaturing

My apologies for taking so long to post. I've had a LOT of personal stuff going on over here. All has been good.. but just plain ole' busy.

Here are some of my latest caricatures. I haven't posted any in a while.. cause I was getting so caught up in the 'Digital Illustrations' for Commissions. I was almost starting to forget how to draw the freehand caricatures! :P *zoinks scoob!*

Sorry.. some of these I don't have reference photos of the people.. because.. I'm too busy & also too lazy to load them all up.. lol. So.. only the last ones have reference photos of who I drew.
The next two below were colored digitally.. and the font was done digitally obviously on the 1st one.This one below was cool. They took my drawing & made shirts out of them for their Bachelor & Bachelorette ('Hens Night' in Australia) parties. Yeah... this one below.. was a bit of a strain on my brain. I hate drawing bikes. :P But, I figured out how to make it look somewhat decent.This next one below was of some mentally disabled kids. I tend to find it a challenge to draw them both cute without taking off any likeness. But this was the best I could do. The kid on the very left.. probably has the most deformed facial expression. I did my best to not make him completely different from the rest of the kids.Yes! I could have gotten more creative with these next two.. by actually having them playing in the drawings.. but, with my limited time.. I just didn't. lol. :P
