the main things i've been concentrating on improving this summer have been: 1. pushing my exaggeration in my live work, trying to get it more like that of my "studio" work; 2. composition of caricatures of more than one person, and 3. better observation of the "topography" of individual faces, if you get what i mean by that, rather than just drawing what my brain automatically tells me it should be like.
this guy was a caricaturist's dream! i only wish he had gotten the pencil sketch. i would have pushed it a lot more!
this kid couldn't stop laughing at his caricature! he loved it!

You rock in both styles.
They look great, 2010live11 is my favorite!
cool stuff Don! Just a quick question, I've never done live caricature, how long does each one take?
thanx for the kind words, guys.
ian- for me, the marker drawrings take about five minutes per person, and the pencil sketches take about 15-20. i could probably push myself to do them faster, but only at the sacrifice of quality, so i don't concern myself with it.
These are fantastic! You really capture the shyness of people.
Alright, now stop distracting me with your fancy drawing skills, I have work to do.
yes, sir. sorry, sir.
