June 30 & July 2

Saturday was sunny and beautiful. I had a good night sleep and went in ready to draw. I drew a few families and a few color faces, but most of the day consisted of double and single color bodies. Gabriel is a great motivator and I always draw better when I'm working with him. As the highest seller of caricatures in the country (and my boss), he makes me want to sell more caricatures.



This first one wasn't drawn in B&W, I just had my ISO cranked up too high and forgot to bring it down until my 3rd sketch.

These two were hyper and ran off before I could get their picture, but it was a good likeness from what I can remember.

I would've taken a picture of his brother, but he ran away after I got his face down on paper.

He sat there with a "duh" expression on his face for the 10 minutes that it took to draw/color his caricature, but when I had him hold it up for his likeness, he smiled.

I decided that I get too bored on weekday nights after work and instead of watching re-runs of Scrubs, I could be drawing faces and keeping up with my so-called talent. I ended up making almost as much money as the other two guys, who had been at the booth all day, in only 3 hours. This next set of sketches was drawn between six and nine on a humid monday night. (July 2)

Billy drew her chin protruding too far in his 3/4 view, so she had me re-draw her looking like Pamela Anderson ("...with big boobs and a skinny waist."). They were both good sketches, but I guess, she liked mine better.

This was my last sketch of the night. Sold a matte and a frame. Score!

And I get a day off from drawing before Independence Day.
