Some Caricatures I Drew On Sunday

Well, more of illustrations than caricatures really. But it's my style and it's fun to draw. This was my first solo caricaturing event, and the first time I drew two people on one paper. (A: Yes, drawing two people is 250% more difficult than drawing one.) I drew 30 kids or more at the Decibels event. As usual, the kids were sweet and adorable and patient and greatly costumed. Here are snapshots of some caricatures.

Two sisters, one a wee baby in a carriage

Two movie-star looking tween-teen girls

A ginghamed sister and
her brother dressed as Thomas the Tank Engine
This was kinda a threefer. I never thought of Thomas as creepy until I drew him.
Thomas, you're creepy.

I put the girl dressed as an iPod in the iPod
And added an app that stretches out the ear.

Two disabled children in wheelchairs
The boy had the most beautiful eyes, with long, long lashes. But if I had put them in he woulda looked girly so I left them out, except in my mind. What was wonderful is when I showed the kids their drawings, they both stopped thrashing about and just stared and stared at their likenesses. That was the best.

Two very earnest, very young veterinarians
We had a refreshing conversation on animals.

I was also privileged to draw the winner of the donut-eating contest. She was about six-years old and shared with me her secret: eat them in four bites.
