Do you think the Party Guest would have preferred the Caricature that was better? That's the Last Caricature in this post.

Drawing quickly, I drew this CARICATURE at a recent Birthday Party. Well received, I went on to the .... Next! Then, when I got back to the studio, drawing for Myself, I hoped to.... add more dimension? I wasn't successful in doing that. Yet. But I did end up with a much better Caricature when I switched back to the style of my Original Caricature of her ~ but this time with the additional Exaggerations.

Wait. Wait. One more. How about this latest one. The last one that I just posted here

Oh ~ the last 2 are my faves. One not more than the other. There's obviously more than one drawing that can be made of anyone ~ just like there's more than one photograph

In the moment. Real Artwork is made in the moment. It can't be rehearsed. It can't be memorized. So, I make decisions in the moment. It's not a good idea to suddenly second-guess myself.

Just like second-guessing ourselves when we're about to express ourselves honestly ~ unedited ~ to an important person, trying to manipulate the outcome. Not a good idea. It's not authentic. It's not true raw honesty.

I tripped over my own to feet (so to say) when I started drawing this client. Even though I felt like he looked fine, I foolishly imposed my own presumption that he wouldn't want to focus on what I saw. What to draw, what to draw? I had recently been studying different approached for drawing mouths in my own free-time, so I moved my focus to That. But that wasn't where the caricature for this person Was. It didn't look like him. Oh. I tried to save it by writing some Words, but of course still not good.

I didn't have a chance to figure out what happened while I continued successfully drawing the other people at the party. So when my paid-time was up, I stayed late because the gentleman agreed to let me redraw his caricature. Oh what to draw, I just hoped. I drew the 2nd picture here. It's nicer, and I hoped he would like it. But I still didn't like it.

I gave it a go on my time off. No pressure. No worry about pleasing anyone (as though we can ever control that anyway. hhhrumph). I felt more pleased with what I drew here, and it would have gotten good-hearted laughs if I had drawn it at the event. But it still didn't 'speak' to me.

I tried it again. Yes! This one is it. It's not just a matter of exaggerating Something. It's important to exaggerate the Right thing. This particular face was difficult to Caricature. In this case, it wasn't the lips, and it wasn't the frenulum. It was the Cheeks!

Have you ever noticed that a lot of artists try to manipulate you with a lot of self-aggrandizement (which may have even won them some awards or positions ~ whaever tha means), but if you actually Look at their pictures, you don't see anything creative? We, at Party Entertainment Ideas Inc do not tolerate that. You can look directly at our pictures to see the high quality of our Artwork. You can look at photographs of people's reactions to see the sort of entertainment we can bring to you.
