Some more work of my work on the wall

The reason I like drawing the people at the convention

as I do at parties first, then photographing them holding

the drawing..

Uploading the photo to my computer

and then working it up in Illustrator.

Here is the final I did of Shinichi from Japan

Sometimes when I do a party type caricature...

I have no idea where are what I would do in an

studio type caricature. He was busy working on another drawing

so I drew him painting. I decided after I had the drawing

in Illustrator to drop in his photo and make it like

he was drawing a self portrait.

The final caricature and the party caricature of Russ

Is a good example why I like to work from a photo

of the person holding my quick concept of what

the person looks like.

There were features that I took from the caricature

as well as seeing features on Russ that I missed.

On him I liked the way his cap fit rather then the way

I drew it. I noticed I missed his extra chin (sorry Russ).

Yuri is from Japan. When I drew her and

after taking the photo I noticed I missed the

freckles and the thin long neck.

I did keep a lot from the drawing but

there were enough changes to make it worth doing.

So if you want to visit with attendees at the convention

take the time to draw them as you do when working a party.

Then if you want to work it up as a studio piece.

Plus you will get some great caricatures of yourself

many times from the people you have drawn.

I will post some of the drawings I got from some

of the people that drew me later...
