This Party was a pleasant Surprise. For me. Comfortable, Self-assured Children (mostly 12-year-old Girls) ~ who actually weren't afraid to have Fun. This is what Childhood should be. I feel like I can't say enough about it. I was drawing Caricatures at this Party of Wonderful, UNINHIBITED Children having simple healthy fun. Confident enough to be able to laugh at themselves.

Of course we know that all these Children are Beautiful. How can you be anything But beautiful at this age? And I was able to see their inner beautify shine though also. A Community Spirit of Love, Joy, Acceptance, and Accepted.

So much fun Allison was great, the teens loved her and her sense of humor. She's very professional, on time and does great work. Thank you Allison, the kids had a blast!!

Huh ~ Makes me wonder why I keep studying/practicing. My previous Party Caricatures were fine.

I had thousands of emails piled up here. Today I tried to clear some away to clear up Space on my Computer. Glad I noticed at least One email that had some interesting Pictures. Opened it, and found four Caricatures of Women that I had drawn at a Party back in 2015. That's 4 Years ago. It was quite fine. I particularly like the way I indicated the woman's body in the Black/White one ~ the body just showed up by (default?).

I booked a last-minute Event just a couple of hours ago. To draw at a Party of Teenage Boys. Just to keep my Zone, I decided to draw some teenage boys. So I Googled it and found a random photo of 4 teenage boys to use as reference. I quickly drew them ~ because it's almost 3am, and I want to go to sleep.

Looking. At first I wondered ~ Is it any better than the ones I drew 4 Years ago? It is more Active. But is that Better? Or just Different. I draw differently every day.

Then I realized that it's like going to the gym. Just because I Can do it, doesn't mean that I don't have to do it regularly to 'stay in shape'.

Getting back into my regular Exaggerated Caricatures tonight. Staying afloat.

I randomly chose a couple of photographs from my website to use as Reference material. Turned out that I could still come up with something else ~ even though I felt like I had drawn Perfect Caricatures at the Parties.

I'm wondering if there's an unending amount of different things we can do for each face. An unending amount of different decisions we can make each time. We're affected by different things that we see when we're drawing live, and we're affected by different things going on in our studies when we're drawing on our time off.

The people didn't look any different tonight, but I was able to come up with different ideas since I wanted to draw something different. I was probably affected by the desire to please the Guests when I was drawing at the Party. And I was probably affected by my current interest in drawing the weights of objects lately. I didn't set out to do that. But I think that's what I'm seeing in my drawings for the past few days
