Deadwood

Another drawing for a facebook group. Ian Mcshane from Deadwood...Markette and Prisma Color art stix were used for this lil sketch. I like how it turned out. a lot...hopefully my coloring can grow even more in the future.

Jackie Chan

So their are certain groups on Faceplace that put on weekly challenges for artists from all over the planet. I did this pencil drawing of Jackie Chan for one of the groups. Don't ask about the body.

Live Sketches 2012

 One of the first more exaggerated caricatures that was actually a success. I like the likeness on her more so than the guy.
 Her nose is my favorite
 Not so crazy but the couple was too easy ...that likeness.
 These two were quiet the entire time I was drawing them. I happened to be alone at the stand at the time and when people were stopping to watch (which is honestly one of my favorite things ever, being able to stop a crowd is awesome) they started to get a lil antsy. I explained to them that they were getting a "really good" sketch but they still didn't know. I went out kind of on a limb but the result was awesome and they ended up loving the drawing.

I think this is the best live sketch I've ever done. Has a nice level of cartoony exagerration and had 100%likeness.

Here are a few sketches from my job at Seaworld . I get to meet a lot of cool people and when in the mood go a little further to give them something unique and living room wall worthy. I have reference pics on my facebook page so if you want to see the people you can add me.

MAEQUES collaboration celebration

I work with this other young artist named Mae who brings as much energy and enthusiasm to wanting to improve in caricature art as I do. Often it's this guy Andy Urzua (whose kinda a big deal) who gives us tips and makes work a lot more fun. Mae and I did a live collaboration of Andy where we would take turns drawing lines and features and coloring the drawing.

I get high with a lil help from my friends

Urzua
 Briana
 Hodge
 Ms. Mae
 rachel new caricature artist this summer
 Nate Dogg
Krista's big face

These are a few friends from work that I've had the chance to draw. It's a lot more fun because you get to think out your idea more and try to capture more of that individuals personality than you can in a live sketch for a customer. Also these guys were waaaay more appreciative than the customers.
