I have 2 gigs tomorrow. The first one is for CARICATURES. My Client said it's a Communion/Baptism and Double Birthday for his Mother and his Mother-in-Law. Just yesterday, I drew Caricatures at a Wedding, so I feel warmed up for the first Event.

But the 2nd one is for FASHION SKETCHES. Quick presto-changeo. Engagement Party. My Client said it's Harlem Rennaisance Theme, and she hopes people will dress the theme (like I will ~ I already have my clothes together. Fun.). But client said she's expecting that most people will be wearing Bright Colorful Dresses, because they are Caribbean. She said that's what they always wear to the Parties.

I figured I should warm up for that. So I drew a few practice Fashion Sketches here tonight. Focusing on Caribbean Fashion. And I did coach myself to remember a few thangs at the party.

The first picture I drew ~ the one with the colorful jumpsuit/cape.... Took too long to draw/color. Not sure yet how I would handle such a pattern at the event, but it usually comes to me when I wake up in the morning. After going to sleep with the question on my mind. For meanwhile, I was much faster with the subsequent pictures that I drew here tonight.

And I decided that I hate drawing on the Shiny Silver Paper. It was slick, and it felt hard to get the Colors to cooperate. I only had 2 sheets of the shiny silver paper, and it's good that I 'wasted' one sheet by practicing on it. So I won't be dragged down by it during the event.

Lol. My Agent asked me to clarify where I am currently accepting events. I said Westchester County and Southwestern Connecticut and Long Island ~ meaning both Nassau County and Suffolk County.

But how to describe what I mean about Long Island to a person who lives in a different State? I know. I'll draw a picture. Hahaha. It turned out looking like a Fish! Quite appropriate for our coastal geography.

Nassau County and Suffolk County are the Counties on Long Island. I travel anywhere in those Counties. There are countless cities/towns in those Counties on Long Island. Here is the quick map of Long Island that I drew.

Very inaccurate, and my picture certainly doesNot list all the cities and towns, but I felt like this described what I mean by Long Island, Nassau County, and Suffolk County. I can travel to all the cities and towns that are in Nassau County and Suffolk County (in addition to the ones I included in my picture:

Drawing Fashion Sketches as Gifts is so much fun. I use the IPad, so I can send them both as:

jpegs in an email ~ so the client can print it out

and as a quicktime video ~ just because it is so much fun the see a drawing's progression.

Here are examples of what a client gets. If you click on the mp4 links for the video, you can see the steps that I took for making the drawings:
