I'll have to find current things to write about now ;)
Since last summer, I've drawn at least 60 people in caricature form!! I was just sitting in my floor one summer day doing not much of anything, probably sipping on a chunky mystery-ingredient smoothie while on a Shakira listening-binge, when I decided I wanted to try something a little different than realistic portraits - caricatures. So I got my sketchbook and pencil and began looking through pictures of my unsuspecting friends.
(To see the earlier post of the caricatures I did last summer go here.)
Fall rolled around and I remembered the annual Swappin' Meetin' festival in Cumberland was coming up. So I signed up and when the day came, set up my $12 easel and a board to draw on, complemented by a crayon-drawn sign advertising my service. In two days I drew nearly 50 people! The weather was beautiful and the only downside was some facial sunburn.. next time I'll have to choose a booth in the shade!
I don't mean to be anti-climatic and not have good pictures of completed work - but I do have some documenting the event!
Recently I was commissioned to do some more caricatures for Valentine's Day and that was very fun!
Thanks ladies :)
I'm hoping to do more festivals/commissions this year as well. Thanks for reading!
