1. I redrew this for myself after I sold him a sketch where I had a brain fart and missed on the likeness which I think I usually get for the most part. I always want to color and sell more sketches that look more like this.</div>

6. looking at the reference photo now...prolly made her eyes too big...they seemed pretty big when I was looking at her...think the guy came out decent fun enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these people were from japan, not sure how much they liked it, kinda neutral faced like the photo from start to seeing it and all, oh wait, I remembered, the girl seemed a bit surprised for a second but she did buy a frame with it too, so yeah...I always think it's kinda ironic funny when asians from foreign countries get their caricature drawn from another asian. I mean, I'm more culturally american than "asian" well, maybe sorta a mix, I do eat rice, heh...but still...if I went to europe to get some personalized art done and saw an asian or american or american asian as one of the possible artists I could choose from ...I'd totally chase a squirrel sitting next to the bench. wait, what was my point? oh yeah, kfc has really delicious fries! for reals! I just had some yesterday!</div>

10. I was really excited to draw his face, was still interested for a bit, then kinda got bored with it for some reason and then kinda rushed it out by the time I got to color. looking at it now... I like aspects of it, not so much others, then other parts not really sure...so the lesson we learned today is-- uh, huh?</div>

20. this was a really strange occurrence, I was sitting at the easel on a slow cold sketching something and the kid (on the left in the pic), came up to me and said, here-- and handed me 2 bux. and I said confusidly, wait, you want a sketch? and he said, no, I just really appreciate what you do. That was weird, I was like, well, sit down, let me draw you. so I did.</div>

21. ha ha, this had an interesting customer chit chat story. so I'm making chit with this couple along with a fellow co-worker. we get to the "how old do you think I am" question for me. so yeah...I look young...usually people guess 7-12 years younger...t's prolly the asian thing...and I'm gonna get carded till I'm 50, hah. so before we get to the guy asking me, it's revealed that he is a quarter asian so I'm assuming that he knows the "asians usually look younger than they are thing" and he guesses 31 (I'm 32) and I was like, ooh, good guess! then I ask how old do you think my co-worker is, she's 22 but totally looks younger, like 18-20. like noone ever guesses 22 or higher for her. and he guesses 33! we were like 33?!?! what the hell?!? there's no way that I look younger than her, ha ha. now, I'm thinking this guy just has no clue and his good guess on me lost it's validity and is just a horrible age guesser, heh. suffice to say, my co-worker didn't feel too good after that, heh.</div>

anyhoo, it was a cold and slow fall day and sped thru the coloring cause it was cold. I hustled them for the sketch. I was happy overall with the likeness...wait, prolly made her upper lip too big. didn't like how his hat came out. meh. actually, looking at it again, maybe not liking this sketch as much. oh well.</div>

26. this is one of my favorites of the season. I was happy with the flow of lines and shapes. it's one of those sketches where I feel like my brain and hand were clicking for the most part which can be rare. they loved it too! then they asked if I would draw at their wedding a few weeks later which I did! I drew them again, which is the next photo...</div>

27. here's the 2nd caricature I drew at this lovely couple's wedding (see previous picture) I had an AWESOME time drawing at their reception. very fun and laid back with everyone so nice and cool! their wedding was on 10-10-10 which is very cool too! the groom and groomsman all wore plaid converses which I thought was very cool, heh. at the wedding reception I drew at, I decided to draw everyone with one color and mix up the colors a bit in the drawing. I didn't really go too crazy but thought the coloring was fun.</div>

39. so this couple comes up to me last october and asks, "hey, we have a request, can you draw me stabbing him in the eye with a crucifix?" with my reply being "absolutely!" hmm...it would have been odd and confusing (yet awesome!...?) if I said, "no" and then ended the story with this description under the sketch I did. heh. anyhoo, I don't do many zombie caricatures. I like doing the gory stuff but don't really know what to do to get good undead colors like my buddies Sean Gardner and Nick Mitchell who do it awesomely. go check out their work! oh they also asked if I could have him holding a noose around her neck. the eye going thru her eye/head was my idea. they were really cool and seemed to like it. later in the same day I got the next one below, which were my only 2 zombie requests of the whole season.</div>

<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">so ends the sketches at Dorney for the 2010 season. overall thoughts, I don't think I pushed it as much this season. I think I did a bit more at the beginning and then was in a weird kinda medium mode where I wasn't pushing it as much, I did however, sell the most I've ever sold this season, and was the top caricature seller overall at the park. so maybe I was concentrating more on that. The 2011 season is about to start, like this Saturday is our opening day, I think I'm going to definitely focus more on pushing it and getting back to taking chances and trying things where there's more risk.</span></b><br />
<div style="color: #674ea7;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Also, lately, I've been inspired to get back into doing comic book type stuff again and plan on doing more of that stuff and get back to working on my Legend of Liquid Fury graphic novel, which all 150 pages are drawn. I want to go back and redraw some pages and scenes and also start my next graphic novel idea to write and draw for fun.</span></b></div>chris chUa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876514896669159047noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36335326.post-42745959615707654182011-04-07T21:35:00.011-04:002011-04-08T01:33:30.638-04:00My Marvel Comics' "Strange Tales" pages + read the Chua HATE! + I'm doing a signing in NYC April 9th!<div style="text-align: center;"> Below are all four pages that I wrote and illustrated for Marvel Comic's "Strange Tales vol 1." that was released back in November 2009 in issue #3. Later on all 3 issues were collected into a book which you can find in bookstores like Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Strange-Tales-HC-Paul-Pope/dp/0785146261">HERE.</a> About 30 creators contributed to this anthology including Invader Zim creator, Jhonen Vasquez, Paul Pope, Peter Bagge, Stan Sakai, Becky Cloonan and many more. It was an honor to be included with these WAY more awesome and well-known creators.This was a pretty unique and awesome opportunity. Pretty much a dream job, it was a LOT of pressure as I was pretty much given free reign to write and draw whatever I wanted. Seriously, how often does that happen?! and for Marvel Comics no less. Added the fact that they wanted something weird and well, strange, which is prolly the reason they asked me to contribute, it added even more pressure as that's exactly what I love to do. This might seem like it'd be easier, but when you are given essentially free reign then there's pressure because you should be putting out your best work, no excuses to say "oh, I couldn't do what I really wanted..."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So my goal was to try and create something that was prolly as far away from what you'd see in a Marvel comic. In general, I like the philosophy of creating art that people either love or hate, and to avoid forgettable or mediocrity. After the issue was released I googled around looking for reviews and boy, did I get my wish, heh. There seemed to be a LOT of hate/confusion over my pages, ha ha. I found it quite amusing. I figured since I only had 4 pages, I'd jam back it with as much stuff and make you have to use a bit more effort and time to figure it out, kinda like a puzzle...apparently it was TOO much of a puzzle as I don't think anyone could figure it out, ha! If I only had 4 pages, I wanted them to come back to it and hopefully find something new each time, so they don't just glance over it and it'll get lost in all the other stories in the book.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok, so here's a breakdown of what's going on and all the behind the scenes stuff on what it what and bonus easter egg stuff.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #b45f06;">PAGE 1!</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Caricatures has been a huge part of my life since I caught the bug in 2006 and shifted my focus more on. I've meet some of the coolest and most talented caricature artists in the past few years and thought it'd be cool to put them in for fun. I spent a LOT of time and careful planning on trying to find the best fit for all 3 factors...I prolly spent too much time as I think the art isn't the best it could have been, oh whale, I tried my best at that time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;"><b>WHO'S WHO PAGE PAGE 1</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #b45f06;">Captain America =</b><b style="color: #b45f06;"> Starfish</b>, think it's pretty self explanatory why a starfish <b>=</b><b style="color: #b45f06;"><a href="http://alexandertheart.com/"> Alex Clare</a></b>, who's gotta pretty streamlined short haircut like Cap A's head gear design, Alex is kinda known for his streamlined headshape. plus Cap he's got an A on his head, that suits Alex! yay!

We just like making fun of each other but in a good natured way...well, he likes to moreso, heh. Anyhoo, I work with Matt at Dorney park and we've created a pretty great staff and fun working environment.

Hulk drops down and falls right on top of an unsuspecting angler fish who was just baking some nice yummy cupcakes. Doc Octopus (who I drew my friend, Matt Zitman is best friends with Stacy Angler fish in real lifesies) is horrified and punches sea turtle Hulk off of her far away but it's too<br />
late, underneath, the angler fish is dead. Doc Octopus screams in anger/sadness and starts crying octo inky ink. At the same time on the left side, Capt. Amercia starfish is just minding his business riding Electro electric eel off on a nice strolly swim in the ocean when the large black mass of ink from Doc Octopus rises in front of them.

Why? cause that's just what happens in these things, silly wabbit :). Looking to shoot anything with its evil machine guns. Meanwhile, following the green dotted lines from the previous page of its path, sea turtle Hulk is still descending from Doc Ock's punch and happens to lands on top of someone again, this time it's on top of an<br />
unsuspecting crab Wolverine. Crab Wolverine "Snikts" his way through sea turtle hulk. Lots of Hulk blood floats into the water, attracting Hammerhead Juggernaut.

Octopus gives angler fish the Heimlich, she spits out the chewed up pieces of Wolverine crab including his sharp leg "blades" and ricochets around the panels and happens to slice up and kill everyone. The chewed up pieces of Wolverine crab finally lands on the ground seen in the long thing panel. In the background are all the remains of all the newly deceased.

Wolverine crab starts to regenerate since that is one of Wolverine's powers (for those not in the know of such folklore). Then he just walks away going about his business when he comes across Jellyfish Sue Richards, claws a piece of her and eats it and proclaims "That's some good SUE-shi" get it? so yeah, I like puns, heh. I was happy about making the letters of SUE be her eyes and nose. Robin who I made into the Jellyfish/Sue Richards likes sushi so another reason I cast her as her. Also, I purposely made the overall shape of the top of page 4 to mimic that of page 1, so there's a sort of full circle bookend connection. THE END.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #990000; text-align: center;"><b>OVERALL THOUGHTS</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was happy enough with the plot, obviously, it's ridiculous and contains lots of cartoon logic. The theme of coincidences of characters having to be a the right/wrong place at the right time and each event triggering something else. I like silliness and violence. in entertainment. not real life. well silliness, yes. violence, no. well, I mean UFC is fun to watch. anyhoo, you know what I mean, heh</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Looking at it now, and even shortly after I completed it, I think the art could have been better. I think I concentrated too much on the casting and trying to get the likeness right on my friends...and even still, I think they could have been better. I do have the habit sometimes that the more time I have and the harder I work on something the more overworked it can become. But even still, I'm still proud of it, I worked really hard on it and tried my best. I seem to go thru different phases and my artwork fluxchuates depending on what artistic kick I'm on at the moment. It really does go thru a noticeable change. I did want to do something different and in your face and I think I accomplished enough of that. I'm happy that I had the idea to include my caricature friends as it's a big part of my life, both personally and artistically.

It's worth the wait: Mr. Bagge is a very observant cartoonist, the kind who knows that the best humor is funny because it's true, and that the line between the comic and the tragic tends to blur.

For those that don't know, I work for Kaman's art shoppes as well and we do a lot of the art stuff, like, caricatures, airbrush t-shirt, face painting etc. in a lot of the theme parks across the US. He asks me if he gets a discount, I wasn't quite sure, he said ok, and that he'd come back. a few minutes later, I get a call from my manager and he said he just got a call from the Kaman's Cedar point manager that she got a text from her employee (this kid) asking if he gets a discount. She asked us if we could hook him up and I was like sure, no prob. I would have anyway, usually, if you're a fellow Kaman's employee we hook them up, but usually it's just 1 person and we just draw them. they wanted their whole family drawn and only the kid worked for Kaman's so I wasn't sure. so anyway, they came back and I said I got the relay and would hook them up, I said I'd give them like 40% off. the mom then asks if she could get an EXTRA 15% discount since she had a season pass on top of what I was giving. I was like, wow. seriously?! I was already giving them a ridiculous discount and considering I still get paid by commission, I'd be taking the hit and it was 4 people to draw so I'd be using my time when I could be making more money. I was pretty shocked and was like, fine. whatever. and still gave it to her. I really should have hacked it out and gave them a crappy sketch, but I know people at Cedar point so if he showed them the crappy sketch it'd be kinda embarrassing, so I did a decent one. I didn't go too crazy but was going for solid. really though, besides the mom wanting more discount, they all were really nice and pleasant folk. also, what I didn't understand, was why get a caricature done at a park 10 hours away? why not just get it a their home park?

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">OVERALL THOUGHTS for the month </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">So yeah, nothing really too earth shattering this month either, I think overall, this season I didn't really go as crazy or experimental. couldn't really find my groove for the most part. I WAS trying different things and approaches but they were more subtle stuff and most peeps prolly won't see it. I think towards the very end of the summer I did a bit and then at the very end of the season, I started to change my approach and thinking a bit and was happier with my solutions.</span> <span style="color: #a64d79;">more pics from August coming up soonish</span><br />
-------------</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #990000;">FREE CRAZY ABSTRACT CARICATURES BY ME!!!!</b> (if you live near Bethlehem, PA that is) so it's looking like I will be drawing free caricatures at <a href="http://euro-yogurt.com/">Euro Yogurt</a> in the very near future...like in December especially on their "1st Fridays" which is a cool thing where the whole street downtown puts out artsy cool stuff for people to check out and buy and people do artsy stuff. fun and free to check out! check their window for flyers when things become more concrete. or email me if you want particulars and what other days I'll be doing it. <b>ALSO!!!</b> my good buddy and one of the most badass awesome caricature artists, <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Matt Zitman</a>, will be joining me! seriously, go click on his link to check out his work. and he doesn't even post all the cool stuff he does. oh and we're going to be doing some wild and crazy stuff, this aint your cute caricature deal! :)<br />

<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">some ISCA CARICATURE CON '10/ VEGAS thoughts </span></b><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">Also, just got back from the ISCA caricature convention in Las Vegas. had an amazing fun time! and I actually drew stuff this year, heh. overall, I was happy enough with the stuff I did. got rushed at the end but definitely on the right direction to where I want to take my personal stuff, I think. I'll post those pics when I get to them. I like posting stuff in the order I do them.</span><br />
<div style="color: #45818e;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #45818e;">Also, I spent a couple days after the convention ended in Vegas, stayed with a friend who lives there, <a href="http://batsam.blogspot.com/">Sam Gorrie</a>, who's also an awesome caricature artist herselfies. seriously, go check out her work and I defy you to tell me it's not radtastic! I got to explore the areas outside the main Vegas strip a bit and I actually really like the area there. they pretty much have everything there I like-- SOO many places to go and TONS of cool places to eat and try. and they have palm trees. I like palm trees. no seriously, heh. AND I met some pretty cool friggin people there too...really wished I could have stayed longer to hangout more...but if the pieces fall together and all goes whale, I might be taking a visit in the next month or so. *fingers crossed*<br />

I put how long I took to draw most of them on my facebook figure drawing page if anyone really wants to know. too lazy to put them all on here now.<br />
---------------------<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">So for the past few months, I've been going to 2 figure drawing sessions. one is a "drink and draw" at the Hard Bean cafe in Bethlehem which is just a hop, skip and jump away from where I live. literally. sadly, I just found out today that they will be moving. good news is that it's moving/actually combining with a very cool yogurt shop <a href="http://euro-yogurt.com/">Euro-Yogurt</a> a block away. bad news is that it's a smaller place and they prolly won't be having a "drink and draw" anymore :( but I guess we'll see.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">on a side note, it's looking like I'll be doing some free crazy abstract caricatures at this new <a href="http://euro-yogurt.com/">Euro-yogurt</a>/coffee shop place in the very near future...like early December.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the 2nd place I've been going is at Lafayette college, they have FREE figure drawing every Thursday from 7-10pm. seriously. how cool is that?! where do you get free awesome figure drawing these days. click <a href="http://calendar.lafayette.edu/node/77">here</a> for address and more info. you should come out if you are in the area. I try to go as much as possible, especially since the park season has ended and I have more free time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">most of these are drawn between 5-15 min. about 95% are drawn directly with a marker/pen. no penciling first. I feel that I get more unique solutions and keeps me focused more on the beauty of the line and being less finicky. there's a few that I tried penciling out first and they actually came out more boring. </div><br />
lots more pics coming soon! or check my facebook for sneak peaks of newer ones as I finish preparing them for webby viewage. <br />

<br />
so Glee. people seem to be eating this show up like...it's chocolate covered pretzels...or at least that would make me want to eat it up. cause I like chocolate covered pretzels. I watched the show for like 3 minutes and was like yeah, this show is stupid. it's like all of a sudden they breakdown into covers of popular songs. ok fine. but they're not even singing in that moment, they're clearly lip syncing themselves which looks stupid and they're not even trying to put a spin on the song, it's just the song. big whoop. ok, so I didn't watch a whole show so maybe there's good story and plot and acting. but regardless of that, there's going to be a bunch of these song interludicrousness then that's just annoying and automatically makes me not care.<br />
<br />
and yes, I like rambling apparently. that's just how I eggroll. I beet to my own dwight schrute farm. I still like the Office, good stuff!<br />

57. a lot of times when you meet people you immediately get a vibe from them- good or bad. as soon as this couple came up, I got a "oh, these are nice good people" vibe. which they were. when you work in a park you need to make decisions on whether you are going to do a fast "eh" one, which isn't necessarily a "bad" thing, it can still be a good solid fast sketch that the customer still likes, it's just nothing incredible or inspired/you don't put extra effort into it. So sometimes you decide to take your time and do something good. or in my case, sometimes, I'll just take my time and do it right even if it takes forever, heh. my co-workers can vouch for that..."forever" might still be an understatement, heh ;)<br />
<br />
so anyhoo, I just decided that I was gonna do a good one (well, "good" meaning, I was going to try hard to make it good, whether it was or wasn't is debatable, heh) so I took my time and do a heart shape thingy that I've done only maybe 2 times before in the park. as I was chatting with them I found out that the guy is the cousin of one of our current caricature artist, Kim Martel. which was a cool coincidence that I decided to do a good one, heh. otherwise it'd suck if I hacked one out and they'd tell Kim how much her manager sucked.<br />

I like the band, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thelike/music/albums/release-me-15967536">"the Like</a>" seriously. check them out, they just released a new album. catchy fun throwback pop girl band. lead singer's got a sexy raspy voice. mrrow. also they have songs with clapping!

Mez- for some reason I couldn't figure out things and nothing was coming out right. I spent a lot of time reworking it until I got feed up and just went with this. I'll have to try again.<br />

Lindsey Villarreal- I kinda like this one, kinda wished I had more time to do a more polished finish and tweak a few things. y'know, I take it back, I like the ideas, but the likeness missed, chin area is wrong, made nose too big.<br />

Rob Dumo- was in the art fight finals with Alex Clare this year and they both rocked it with some amazing artwork drawn with crazy speed. I kinda like this one, nose could have been a little more pronounced, but I like the shapes of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #274e13;">------------------------------------- </span></div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13;">I have a bunch more artwork coming soon, just been working crazy long hours and all the time at the theme park. It's really pretty draining...but we have lots of awesome employees that makes it fun to come to work even when I'm physically and mentally drained all the time, heh. I also found some cool local figure drawing places and have been doing more of that with my awesomely talented friends which is a blast. I have like 30 pieces to post, just gotta find the time to do it... and find more time to go to them. Also, I HAVE been doing more caricatures in the park and taking pictures. Business has been a little slow, and I'm trying some new things out which makes for some iffy drawings as I work out the kinks. but there's some cool ones that I'll get around to posting.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;">------------------</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"> <span style="color: #741b47;">oh and one of my caricatures was in an article on the website The Huffington post called<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/16/street-portraits-gone-wro_n_614120.html#s100295" style="color: #3d85c6;"> </a></span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/16/street-portraits-gone-wro_n_614120.html#s100295" style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">"Street Portraits Gone Wrong: the Funniest Caricature Drawings Ever"</span> </a><span style="color: #741b47;">ha ha, it's not one of my best ones but oh well. heh.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> These are my good friends Alex and Jess. aww, look how cute they are in the photos. I drew this for Jess' birthday a few months ago. Jess has been wanting me to draw them for a while and I have a habit of putting artwork off especially for friends, as I want to make it extra awesometastical for my friends...and so I never feel like I'm good enough so I keep sketching and practicing but I still never feel ready to put pencil to final paper so I just keep putting it off. So usually, it takes something that forces me to get it done like a special occasion ala Jess' birthday to force me to just put something down otherwise I'll never do it. I guess I'm better with deadlines...although I still wait to the last minute like this, heh. that's why working in a theme park is good for me, cause I HAVE to draw the person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think I prolly over complicated it by trying to make that overall heart shape, I tend to overthink when I have too much time (again, that's why my theme park caricatures are usually better) thus made their faces more forced. I'm going to do another one of them. oh and Jess is a music buff so I made her pony tail into a treble clef. also check out <a href="http://alexandertheart.blogspot.com/">Alex's art blog</a>, he just updated it with some AWESOME beer label art he got commissioned to do!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S3u9sTdQe0I/AAAAAAAAAbI/g4G83Dttagg/s1600-h/erica-bday-color-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S3u9sTdQe0I/AAAAAAAAAbI/g4G83Dttagg/s400/erica-bday-color-09.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">a birthday card for my good friend, Cat Hupp. It's been a while since I've drawn a birthday card, I used to do a lot of them like this for friends. I forgot how fun they were to do.</div><br />

a left over caricature I forgot to post drawn at Sea World, Orlando when I visited there this past Christmas. I mostly like the connect line from him to her forehead. they had a good laugh and were good sports. I miss that park :(<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">------------------------------------</span><br />
<div style="color: #741b47;"></div><div style="color: #741b47;">still have some <a href="http://cripplecon.com/">cripple con 3</a> artwork to post. I've been mad busy getting things ready for Dorney park which our opening weekend was this past weekend. I drew a bunch of lame-o fast and boring sketches at Dorney the other day. ugh. and of course that's when I sell a bunch of frames with them. I do have a few decent caricatures I drew while I was helping out Six Flags, NJ a couple weeks ago, will try to get to posting them sometime soon as whale as some figure drawing I did at a local <a href="http://heartofsteelcity.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/drink-n-draw-the-beedle-n-the-wrenn/">drink n draw at the Hard Bean</a> in Bethlehem. which I'll prolly be going on a monthly basis. every 2nd thursday of each month. next one is next week!</div><div style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #741b47;">I'm tweaking how I'm approaching caricatures a bit, taking some adjustment but hopefully I'll get it worked out soon. Cute-ica-CHUAs, here we come! heh. we'll see...</span><br />
<div style="color: #0b5394;">---------------- </div><div style="color: #0b5394;">misc random ramble thought time!</div><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I'm not a dog person. nor am I a cat person. not that I don't like animals I just don't like the concept of having an animal as a pet running around free in living quarters. I do have an exception, I'm fine with whales living in the house. they're especially nice during the winter as their blubber is good to keep the heat in. it's kind of annoying to have to slice their skin open and live inside them though. but yeah, it's nice and warm inside. also, some guy with a wooden leg and spear keeps trying to sell me life insurance or encyclopedias or something. won't take a hint that I'm not interested.</span></span></div>chris chUa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876514896669159047noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36335326.post-39741293585958898742010-02-06T21:45:00.001-05:002010-02-06T21:47:38.963-05:00Caricature- Sean Evans lippage (DEC 2009)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2zlcmkbCBI/AAAAAAAAAa0/fDD-CvstfLs/s1600-h/IMG_4337.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2zlcmkbCBI/AAAAAAAAAa0/fDD-CvstfLs/s640/IMG_4337.jpg" border="0" height="640" width="280" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">this is <a href="http://kamikazepanda.blogspot.com/">Sean Evans</a>, a 1st year caricature artist at Sea World, Florida. He's a cool dude with lots of potential. there are artists who draw a lot but don't really try to get better or hear advice and agree with it but don't really try and apply it. Sean is none of those, he takes suggestions/crits well and tries really hard to improve and he's already made some pretty large strides in improvements, at the rate he's going, he's gonna be one to look out for!</div><div style="text-align: center;">also funny story, Sean somehow stumbled onto my blog and wrote a nice comment on my blog. I checked out his profile and blog and found out that he worked at Sea World and it just so happens that I was going to visit there and be drawing with him in 2 weeks! I thought that was a funny coincidence, and he didn't know that I was coming too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sean was the only fellow caricaturist that I drew while I was down at Sea World for 2 weeks. I definitely wanted to draw more of everyone but just didn't get around to it, I'm sure I'll get to it soon. I was relatively happy with this, it's pretty out there and shapey and I think the likeness is pretty decent. Sean always makes that pouty face, prolly should have made the bottom lip bigger- oh well. I've always wanted to push the coloring like this and explore it. I'm a big fan of this sorta very colorful coloring style that some of my very favoritist caricaturists like: <a href="http://cowlesworld.blogspot.com/">David Cowles</a>, <a href="http://lobaton.wordpress.com/">Pablo Lobato</a>, <a href="http://shop.lbmadison.com/gallery.php">Philip Burke</a> do so awesometastic. I want to try selling some live caricatures like this.<br /><br />more live stuff I did in post below--<br /></div>chris chUa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876514896669159047noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36335326.post-54966493597574352442010-02-06T21:42:00.003-05:002010-02-07T04:37:26.221-05:00caricatures- Sea World Florida! you're Killer whalecome! + Chua/Tre collabo!

I like this one, a fun one and they were great and loved it. I like his eye just poking out of his hair like that. I think this was the 1st shamu I ever drew...and it shows, heh.

I was happy with this mostly except for the color rendering of his hair, I tried something and it just looks too slapdashy mcwishywashy and needed more of a definite style or shape. I haven't drawn many surfing bodies and thought of some of the stuff my buddy <a href="http://mrurzua.blogspot.com/">Andy Urzua</a> does when I did this.

I was working with assistant manager, Edwin Santana who was watching me draw this and was certain that they weren't going to like it and it was going to be rejected. He couldn't even figure out what I was drawing until I colored it, which is many the case with my crazier ones, heh. Edwin has been working at Sea World drawing caricatures for 13 or so years, and has worked along side <a href="http://joebluhm.blogspot.com/">Joe Bluhm</a> (the park Joe worked at for most of his 5 year park caricaturist career) and said he's never seen anything quite like what I drew, heh. He was surprised that I did sell it and while I was drawing it their family came by and was bursting out laughing. he said I was very brave to draw that, heh. I don't even think this is THAT crazy for me. when I was drawing it, I thought I had a good likeness down, but then after seeing this reference photo, I missed on the woman. I should have made her nose bigger...although sometimes when you are drawing someone depending on that very angle/moment that you are drawing it can be different than another moment/viewpoint. kinda like sometimes when you see a photo of someone, it doesn't quite look like that person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-jtDTaJ6I/AAAAAAAAAXU/sZJHW7crpBY/s1600-h/IMG_4483.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-jtDTaJ6I/AAAAAAAAAXU/sZJHW7crpBY/s320/IMG_4483.jpg" border="0" height="237" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">9. and then we go from that to just a cute-ish quickie. and yes, that is a new species of dolphin that can pop out of the water perfectly horizontal.

I was happy with this one. fun faces. usually, if I'm doing couples I like to sit them both down, so I can better see how to compose them on the page and it's much easier to do my "connect lines" where I have a line from one person connect to the other. although the problem sometimes is that the stand you work at has limited chairs (which is most of the case at Sea World) and you won't have enough chairs cause you will be working with someone else and they need that chair. so this couple comes up, and I'm excited cause 1. I LOVE drawing couples 2. they have great faces 3. my co-worker at the moment (the amazing Tre) was not drawing anyone, so I borrowed his chair to sit both down. so I start working on it and soon after it turns out a customer comes and Tre needs to borrow the chair. booo, so I just resume working on the girl with not much frame of mind/planning out of the guy. then Tre finishes quickly and gives me the chair back. so anyway, the whole point of this is that the line of her hair that goes into his mouth, I had draw that line on the girl and left it open ended and when I started drawing the guy I saw that it lined up nicely for his mouth and so I connected it, a happy accident that worked out in the end. also I saw that his chin could be lined up just nicely to double as her left side cheek, again, I didn't plan for it, but it worked out nicely! it's always awesome when these improvisations work out, it's prolly one of the most rewarding aspects as an artist, at least for me. I would prolly put myself in more of these situations...it's just a lot riskier as it could also go horribly wrong/waste time...eh, but really, I should attempt more risky stuff. believe it or not, I am still holding stuff I wanna do back a lot of times.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4506.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4506.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>34. one of my favs of my stint in Sea World.

I gave her a whale in her braces, yay!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-kR3jBTuI/AAAAAAAAAX4/PJOnoraBeYM/s1600-h/IMG_4486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-kR3jBTuI/AAAAAAAAAX4/PJOnoraBeYM/s640/IMG_4486.jpg" border="0" height="640" width="289" /></a></div>37. these nice people were from Japan. I made the mom's eyes a bit too far apart, but overall, I liked it and that they are holding their cute son.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-j-85CpaI/AAAAAAAAAXo/V7_p3nN8Sao/s1600-h/IMG_4540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-j-85CpaI/AAAAAAAAAXo/V7_p3nN8Sao/s640/IMG_4540.jpg" border="0" height="640" width="180" /></a></div>38. so it was new year's eye and our stand was open late (till 11pm I think) and it was towards the end of the night and this couple comes and asks me where the portrait stand is. I knew that it had already closed and I told them, sorry, it just closed...and then I say on a whim and all cheesy happy-like, "well, how about a caricature instead?" (also imagine a cheesy grin and two thumbs up in a "c'mon" way) I was thinking people that usually want a portrait prolly don't want to go the complete opposite route and get a silly picture. and to my surprise, the guy goes, "ok." almost without hesitation, heh. win for me! and they had great faces, especially the guy. so I do my thing and the girl laughs pretty hard of how I drew her boyfriend, heh. good times.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">Chua/Tre collaboration!</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4429.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4429.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-i0Sq53dI/AAAAAAAAAWU/ZjlsyU5GnFM/s1600-h/IMG_4433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S0-i0Sq53dI/AAAAAAAAAWU/ZjlsyU5GnFM/s200/IMG_4433.jpg" border="0" height="181" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">I drew girl/Tre drew guy</span><br />39. this is a collaboration between <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">Tre Coleman</span> and myself. Tre (seen drawing above) is an awesome caricature artist that's been working at Sea World for the past 3 years and previously worked at Carowinds for 3 years, he has one of my favorite park sketches that I've seen. great likeness, super slick execution- linework, coloring and he exaggerates pretty much every sketch. So back to the drawing, so this couple comes up to our stand and I convinced them to get a collaboration done and they were cool with it. I started off and drew the girl (I didn't leave much room for Tre though) then Tre did his thang. they laughed when they saw it and bought it. 10 minutes later they came back and said they weren't happy with it and that they didn't think it looked like them, mostly she said it didn't look like her. I mean, c'mon, sometimes I'm off and especially moreso if I push it more the likeness can be iffy but I think for this one, I pushed it AND got a pretty good likeness. anyhoo, they were nice about it and I said I'd redraw it for them. which I did as fast and tame and lame as possible, might have taken me a total of 5 minutes for 2 color faces and they were cool with it. so this was a reject but I still got the sale, which you gotta do at times. I'm all for jacking people up and experimenting but I try to balance it with as much sales as possible whenever possible.<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Sea World trip experience thoughts--</span><br />so overall, I had an AMAZING time at Sea World. the Kamans crew down there is pretty awesome, everyone was really cool and friendly. I really enjoyed working with everyone and wished I got a chance to stay there longer. It was much slower than I had anticipated and they said it was prolly one of the slowest sales Christmas/New Year's holidays ever, but overall I still did decently considering at my home park, Dorney, it's a smaller park so we don't get AS much sales and traffic anyway. so on a bad day at Sea World it's still considered decent compared to Dorney.<br /><br />Also, I got to use my "you're Whalecome" saying that I started at Dorney this past season--where that's what I'd say when a guest would say, "thank you" for me directing them to the ride/restroom or whatever they were looking for and I'd have a drawing of a cartoon whale on my easel and point to it while I said it. but NOW, since I'm in Sea World where everyone knows they have a killer whale, I got to use it ALL the time and I modified it to "you're Killer Whalecome!" ha ha, it was awesome, I was in heaven, heh.<br /><br />I was porpoisely sent to Sea World to help out and make money for them, so there was obviously some pressure for me to perform well. Also, I wanted to push it AND sell some more out there/crazy stuff. I think I did accomplish both my goals decently. Even though Sea World's clientele is typically a much more family friendly park than most parks, and in theory might not be as receptive to the more out there sketches I usually get away with as I have mostly worked in more teen and older heavy populated parks. but I believe that you can pretty much sell anything at any park. just gotta pick and choose your battles. I think you can push it and have fun and still sell. but knowing I was sent there for a reason and was essentially representing my park, I did draw tamer and safer , which I do normally, but maybe I did it a lil bit more here just to make sure I got decent sales so I don't have AS many crazy sketches to show. Also, <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">I only got 2 rejects</span> during my stint. both were sketches where I went tamer and purposely went cute, which ironically, is almost always the case if I ever do get a reject. I rarely get one where I go nuts on. the 1st one, I was drawing a baby and they didn't understand the reflection I drew in the eye and didn't know what that was, which is the first I ever heard anyone complain about. the woman wasn't very friendly at the get go anyway. and she had an obvious mustache, heh. the 2nd reject was they thought I drew their chubby kid, get this...chubby! my bad for drawing the obvious. also, I was drawing next to the legendary <a href="http://www.dinocasterline.com/">Dino Casterline</a> who was drawing their other kid and wanted one simlar to that. hey, once again, at least someone got the sale, works for me.<br /><br /> speaking of Dino, he is the person responsible for starting caricatures for the company we work for, (<a href="http://kamansart.com/">Kaman's art shoppes</a>), he started it about 20 years ago at Sea World, Florida. He pretty much set the standard and "Kaman's style of caricature" that you'll see in pretty much every theme park our company is in, which is about 30 parks. He still draws live caricatures at Sea World on a daily basis. I was lucky enough to get drawn by him (the caricature right below) during this visit! I'll have to draw him back soon!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S25SjTiC4wI/AAAAAAAAAa8/IWyMhAExQJk/s1600-h/IMG_4548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S25SjTiC4wI/AAAAAAAAAa8/IWyMhAExQJk/s200/IMG_4548.jpg" border="0" height="200" width="159" /></a></div>Much thanks to the crew down there! they really were the main reason why my visit was so enjoyable.

(Nov)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This past November I attended the annual <a href="http://caricature.org/">ISCA</a> caricature convention. This was my 2nd one I attended. As always, it's such an amazing time! nothing beats hanging and drawing caricatures with some of the most talented and coolest people out there! unfortunately, once again like last year, I didn't really draw as well as I prolly could have, but I still had soooo much fun! Next year's going to be held in Las Vegas, I'll be there!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2I94xp-WWI/AAAAAAAAAYw/uRtGrqMe-PE/s1600-h/IMG_4119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2I94xp-WWI/AAAAAAAAAYw/uRtGrqMe-PE/s400/IMG_4119.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. <a href="http://karifry.blogspot.com/">Kari Fry</a>! a very cool and talented artist. my plan for this convention was to draw multiple people on one page. Kari was the only single one that I did...I wasn't going to but she really wanted one and enticed me with some pizza, heh, so I drew her and actually, I prolly should have done more of this stuff instead of trying to do one giant crazy one that didn't turn out so well, heh. I like the flowyness of the lines but think the likeness could have been better- cheeks are too high, mass should have been lower.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2I-2llnlPI/AAAAAAAAAY0/O_CbBuN2kno/s1600-h/IMG_3992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G4iUBs-Ui04/S2I-2llnlPI/AAAAAAAAAY0/O_CbBuN2kno/s320/IMG_3992.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. this was 1 of 3 people we drew for the likeness competition. I was sitting with my good buddy <a href="http://mrurzua.blogspot.com/">Andy Urzua</a> at the time and we had I think 5 minutes to draw it from the photo they put up and I was goofing around with him and said, let's wait until the last possible second to start drawing and see who can wait the longest, heh, he agreed. I think we had about a minute left before we both started drawing. I decided to draw it with 1 continuous line. actually, this might be my favorite thing I drew at the convention, heh. oh and we had to label it as "B" so that's what that is at the bottom of his neck. I did another one for the likeness competition (of a different person) but forgot to take a picture of it and can't seem to find if anyone else took a picture of it. I actually kinda liked that one too. oh well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4146.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_4146.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. ok, so here's what mainly I worked on for the whole week at the convention. I wanted to do mutiple people on a page and was deciding who to draw. I thought I'd draw a few of the Japanese artists together. then as I was sketching them, I decided why not up the ante and put more on the page. and more got carried away until I decided to draw every male Japanese artist that came to the convention. the idea was to have each person be outlined by a different color, I color dotted the photo reference to help people match who is who. some of them got waaaay too convoluted and hard to make out. oh well. live and learn. the main overall caricature is of <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/shiorin0911/">Shiori</a>, who is an awesome Japanese caricature artists and one of my favs. check out her work!</div><div style="text-align: center;">------------------------------------------</div>Right below are some collab pieces I did with my friends <a href="http://aaronphilby.blogspot.com/">Aaron Philby</a> and <a href="http://jackin-faces.blogspot.com/">Nate Kapnicky</a> who are also 2 of my favorite caricature artists. the idea was that we each drew a few lines then passed it on to the next person without telling them what the plan was to make it challenging and fun. case in point, for this one, I had no idea what Aaron's intention was for his 1st few lines, heh. we drew <a href="http://www.glennfergusonarts.com/">Glenn Ferguson</a> (left) who also won the Golden Nosey at this con and past Golden Nosey winners,<a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/donkage/"> Kage Nakanishi</a> (right) and <a href="http://www.courtjones.com/">Court Jones (top)</a><br />

I DO like the quirky smaller indie films <b style="color: #990000;">Punch Drunk love</b>, it's one of my favorite movies. I watched "<b style="color: #741b47;">Up in the air</b>" and I heard a lot of good things about it and seemed like a movie I'd like but I did not like it, found it boring, nothing interesting or clever or big character events. really disappointing.

I don't get it. a lot of the plot didn't really make sense. I was like "really? these characters are actually making these decisions?" this movie sucks. watched "<b style="color: #134f5c;">the Spirit</b>" wasn't expecting it to be as silly and campy as it was. it was ok, fun enough. not great, but had some entertaining moments. "<b style="color: #990000;">Definitely, Maybe</b>" cute fun movie, it had an interesting structure to it, different. fun.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. this one was one of my more ambitious ones...backstory time! gather round kids!--so I was drawing all day at the caricature stand and decided to check up on some of our other operations, which is part of my duties (hee hee doodies!) as an assistant manager, when my co-worker, Kimmy, calls me and says that there are some customers that saw me drawing earlier and wanted me to draw them. this is usually a very cool thing cause now there's less pressure cause they know how I draw and want one similar especially since my style is more out there and I can relax and just do my thing...ALTHOUGH, sometimes I'll draw more tame and lame and if people see that and like and want that sort of thing, that becomes more of a chore and less fun. but I remembered that I had been pushing my drawings more and doing my thang pretty much for every drawing earlier in the day so I had a good feeling they wanted a wackier sketch as opposed to a tame and lame one. when I got to the stand and greeted the family waiting for me, I asked them which drawing they were watching me draw and the mom described it and used the words "the asymmetrical one." the fact that she used "asymmetrical" made me think that I'm gonna be able to have fun with this one. so the dad and sons sit down and one of them says "....make sure to get our eyes, we all have similar eyes..." then the idea hit me to let them share eyes. I was pretty happy with it and think I pulled it off enough. I think the likenesses are decent it's just not as exaggerated but I wanted to focus on making sure I got it to read correctly and if I went too crazy with the exaggeration I might sacrifice clarity and it's already a pretty out there concept. the mom really liked it and said "all of New York is gonna be asking and talking about your drawing" heh. I don't know about that, but glad she liked it. the dad and sons I think were more perplexed when they saw it and I had to show them more where each person was by blocking the other faces with my hands on the sketch itself, eventually, I think they got it and appreciated it.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">9. they wanted two copies of the same sketch...I rarely do that as it's not fun to try and redraw the same sketch over and can sometimes be even harder cause you have to try and make it so similar. plus, you don't attract business when you are drawing with no one sitting in your chair. so I told them that I wouldn't do it and they were cool about it. they left their sketch at the stand to be picked up later. It was kinda slow and they were really cool so I was like, ok I'll do it this time and drew them another copy and surprised them when they came back to pick up their original sketch. they were happy and couldn't even tell which one was the copy so that was cool.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_3671.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_3671.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 330px;" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">10. so these two guys come up to me and ask me if I can draw them in dominatrix outfits. they just wanted something really silly and outrageous. cool, I like customers who get caricatures and just want something funny and wacky as you should, so I was like, all right, now since we're going for it, why not keep upping the ante and make it even sillier and have you guys riding on animals? the one guy immediately wanted to be riding a kangaroo- not sure why, and I think he didn't really know why but he knew what he wanted right away, heh. the other guy couldn't decide on what his animal would be. I saw that he was wearing a Tony the Tiger shirt and suggested that I could draw him riding Tony and he agreed, heh. I think this one came out pretty decent all around which for me, when drawing bodies, they might turn out iffy cause I'll be spending too much time making sure that the bodies turn out ok cause that's not my strong suit (also cause it's not as interesting to me) and then everything else gets sacrificed. but with this, it was still pretty sylized, fun and the animals were stylized and fun as well, I got my connect lines and his ear doubling as the other dude's tongue too. they asked for whips and themselves wearing speedos, I threw in everything else.<span style="background-color: #134f5c;"><br />

<b><span style="background-color: #134f5c;"></span><span style="color: #a64d79;">*NOTE*</span></b> no animals were hurt in the making of this drawing and I do not condone the harming of animals. but I did punch a baby seal yesterday, ha ha just kidding...everyone knows that baby seals aren't in season this time of year. It was a baby hamster that I punched...exploded on impact too...right on top of a baby seal. which again, I did not punch cause that'd be mean...and plus they aren't in season yet...so I have it waiting, to rippen...to be punched.<br />

I like the upper lip to eyelid line.<br />

They wanted bodies but didn't know what they wanted and let me do whatever I wanted. lately, my go-to bodies to draw if they let me do whatever is them riding on animals. I can finagle that pretty easy and it's fun. I drew my buddies/co-workers, <a href="http://alexandertheart.blogspot.com/">Alex Clare</a> as a starfish and <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Matt Zitman</a> as an octopus--which is what I drew them as in my 4 pages I drew for <a href="http://chrischuaartturtle.blogspot.com/search/label/My%20story%20in%20Marvel%20Comic%27s%20%22Strange%20Tales%20%233%22">Marvel comic's Strange Tales #3</a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">34. oh boy. <b><span style="color: #990000;">this is BAD!</span></b> this was one of those times where I'm just trying stuff and then I get to a point and suddenly realize, oh no. yeah...I prolly shouldn't have done that. so I usually do the whole overlapping 2 people's faces thing. but this one just turned out that the placement of his hair makes it look like she's got a goatee. oopsie :( I think usually draw the guy on top cause he's usually larger and the girl on bottom so it's not an issue, but still, just the way I designed it is just bad.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">35. face meld, yay! these folks came back later on to watch their friends get drawn by me and the guy asks me if I purposely melded their faces to signify that they're more as "one." which IS part of the reasoning behind why I do that among other reason. It's funny in that not as many people ask me or seem to realize when I connect their faces so when someone asks me about it I get kinda surprised. I'd think more people WOULD ask me about it, cause I'd think it'd prolly be kinda jarring and pretty obvious to most.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">38. this is one of my favs of the season and maybe just in general. I really tried to push it. the guy was more of a challenge to figure out how to push it, it wasn't as obvious as the girl. It's funny how in the one picture of her when she smiles you don't really see her gums and then when she really smiles, it really changes her mouth shape. It would have changed my approach if I didn't see her fully smile. I liked both of their bodies as well, hers I just had a last minute throw it in idea that she was hanging onto him in a weird way. I think this sketch is one of my more bold take-chances-not-really-sure-what's-gonna-happen-strange-design ones. I should try doing more of this type.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">47. I was happy with this one. I like the odd neck face sharing connect and thought the coloring came out solid and not too overworked which is my tendency. also been trying to experiment with black in the background more, as usually that's a no-no in general, but I think it can work to an extent. I usually eat Chee-zits but ate Cheese nips recently which had a "new and improved taste" label on it and you know what? I really liked it! I might start switching over now.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">51. I think the mom was kinda shocked when she saw it. the kid kept saying " look mom, your eyes are in your nose!" which is actually my favorite part of the drawing, heh. I think i caught the kid's vibe. my buddy, Shaun Stipick is in background. He came to visit and drew a bunch of times during the summer and is one of my favorite people to draw with. he really pushes it and draws some of the best bodies ever which is great cause he likes drawing bodies and I don't and I like drawing couples and he doesn't so if a customer wants one thing we can maximize our chances of drawing what we like to draw and yes I write run on sentences. oh and we both like using 2 chairs for multiple people, yay!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">52. I thought this one came out really fun and they were just really really cool people. I was really happy with it for the most part. I missed on his eyes though, one of those times where I just couldn't figure out what to do with them.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">55. So I was finishing up drawing another sketch when I see a guy waiting to the side of me and I recognized that I had drawn him last year and say, hey! didn't I draw you last year? and he was really surprised that I remembered him. as a caricature artist I stare at a person intently for like 10 minutes or so, so a lot of times that person is ingrained in my head...well, moreso if I draw a crazier one as I tend to remember those sketches and people more. and I remembered that I drew the guy with his daughter last year and it was a more designy wacky one that they loved. It's also nice to be able to get another chance to draw someone again to hopefully see that the one you do now is better. I like this one a lot, I like that line that goes thru them, although it is a lil bent that bugs me. grr...<br />

</div>63. so I was drawing with my buddy, Shaun Stipick, and this woman comes up to us and wants her two kids to get drawn. I take a kid and Shaun takes a kid, then the mom whispers to me, can I ask a favor? could you make sure it comes out really really funny. of course, that is pretty much music to the ears of a caricature artist. I was more than happy to oblige. I turn to Shaun, who was about to start drawing his kid and whisper him the good news. so I started drawing my kid, finished up the marker part and is just starting to color (see above) when the mom walks to Shaun and I can overhear her saying in an angry manner "what the HELL is he drawing?!" obviously referring to what I was doing. and Shaun starts to explain that everyone draws differently and has different styles and the mom pretty much just says that that isn't what she was expecting...anyhoo, the mom comes up to me and stops me (in a pleasant manner) and says what she was telling Shaun. I nicely explain that this is what I do when I draw "really funny" and that I would be happy to redraw it less funny. which I did and drew it as fast as I could, which is pretty much what my "quick don't really think about blah tame sketch" looks like. although I missed on his eyes. she was cool with it and all ended well. This is a situation where I pretty much had a get out of jail free card as I could go as crazy as I wanted and if they didn't like it I could say what I said and just redo it really quickly and not really get anyone mad. well, not too mad cause they "asked for it" anyhoo number 2, I didn't really like my crazy one either. it WAS coming out more in the vicious creepy way and I didn't really get his likeness. as opposed to cute crazy exaggerated so I could understand why she didn't like it.<br />

</div>64. kid didn't really like it, but mom totally did. this was a cool and appreciative family that my co-worker, Kim, and I drew. I remember that was a fun day as Kim and I had to cut some deals to get sales as there was literally no one in the a park that day. but we did end up drawing a good amount of people, heh...<br />

</div>68. so the guy above this one (#67) convinces his friend to get one as well and says that he has some specific requests for me. he whispers to make sure he's got a big forehead and big teeth. well, it's always a bit weird to take art directions but essentially what it meant was that I could really just do my thang and jack him up. so as I was drawing it. the friend watching me draw kept saying "that's just TOO funny" a bunch of times as I was drawing him but he said it in a more serious way in that I didn't know if he was being serious in that I had gone too far and he was getting pissed. so I was a bit worried...but luckily it turns out he was loving it and when the guy saw his caricature he had a big laugh and loved it too and shook my hand. yay!<br />

</div>69. ha ha, this was to be the ultimate collaboration between Zitman and I. so these 3 kids come up wanting to get a caricature done. I convinced them to come back a bit later when Zitman got back and we would do a collaboration. The plan was for Zitman and I to both draw the tall guy (switch back and forth) then I'd completely draw one of the guys and Zitman would completely draw the other. so the kids come back and I start it off by drawing the middle dude. Zitman watches me draw a few lines- I had drawn the nose/eye/brow areas then Zitman says he doesn't want to do the collab anymore. I was like What?! why?! I finish the drawing and later on he tells me he didn't want to collab because he had no idea what I was doing at that point and didn't know how to continue it from there, heh. I always thought that was the fun where you try to stump the other collab-er and force them to figure a way out. anyhoo, so I finish it up. oh and it's kinda hard to see but I tried to make the tall guy into a whale- there's a blowhole and tail. also the big "you're whalecome" in his hair, heh.<br />

<br />
so our previous collabo of the girls in cowboy hats was a reject (our 1st and only and oddly enough our tamest collab) but I convinced Zitman to do another one, this one is prolly our best. Zitman started it off and drew the guy and I finished it off by drawing the girl. they both loved it. success! there's Zitman in the background too.<br />

-----------------------------<br />
<div style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Thoughts on Dorney Season '09 </b><br />
</div><br />
so ends the season. this is my 3rd year as a caricature artist as well as 3rd year with Kamans Art Shoppes and I have to say that this has been my favorite and most fun year since I started. Mostly due to getting to work with my good buddies, Matt Zitman (our new manager) and Alex Clare (our new caricature supervisor). Going to work everyday drawing silly pictures and hanging with your buddies is always awesome. and just in general, it was just fun coming in to work, even if Matt and Alex were off that day. Matt and I tried to create a cool and fun working environment and I'd like to think we were pretty successful and hope that our employees had a lot of fun as well. and speaking of, we had a pretty great staff this year made up of some old returners and new employees that made it a fun season.<br />
<br />
Also, Matt and Alex pushed me to be more sales minded as they are some of the best and highest selling artists out there and I'm pretty happy that I ended up being the 2nd highest in overall sales (behind Alex) for the year...while still drawing some crazy silly stuff, heh. There's still plenty I want to do and try, still not even close to being bored with caricatures. I got off to a slow start but I think towards the end of the season, I was pretty happy with a lot of my sketches and did some of the best ones I've done yet. I really do like the drawing live aspect of caricatures. especially for someone like myself who I guess is more a perfectionist and does a LOT of sketching at home and in my most of my free time but not as many finished completed pieces, it forces me to do more finished pieces, cause I have to, obviously. Also, I really do like the aspect of seeing what I can get away with, heh. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">also, I will be visiting and drawing caricatures at Sea World, Florida Dec 17- Jan 3. come say hi if you are in the neck of the woods...or if you have extra cake lying around, I will gladly dispose of it...in my mouth.</span><br />
</b><br />
<br />
still some more posts coming up of some caricatures of friends, a few I did at the recent ISCA caricature convention in Ohio and a post that explains what is going on in the 4 pages I did for Marvel, which apparently no one understands, heh. I've collected some reviews that I'll post and there are some strong haters out there, hee hee.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. This is the soccer playian kickassian, Kim Martel, and fellow caricature artist at Dorney park. I, on the other hand, am a kickASIAN, heh. This is the second caricature I've done of her- I drew her last year. I like it enough, but still feel like I could have captured her mouth better and I tried something with the background elements that didn't quite work out. Oh, I just threw myself in the reflection in her eyes. Kim has taught me to be careful not too give my goldfish too much water to drink or else they might get bloody noses ;P<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Flora Robertson. a first year caricature artist that is tremendously talented. and there's my good buddy, <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Matt </a><a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman,</a> again in the background, being all Zitman-y. oh and check out the awesome caricature demos in the background- drawn by my other good buddy, <a href="http://alexandertheart.blogspot.com/">Alex Clare</a>, and googley-eyedified improved by Matt and I, hee hee.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_3436.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm231/chrischuaa/IMG_3436.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 420px;" /></a> 3. Katie Lawter. Another 1st year caricature artist that has some impressive skillage. this caricature literally took me forever. seriously, it was more like fiveever. hooray for bad puns, heh! I started over a bunch of times. I missed on her eyes too. oh well, I'll get her next year.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3022.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3022.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 410px;" /></a> 4. Jeff Muniz. airbrush artist and all-around good dude. eh. I missed on likeness but I like some of the lines.<br />
<br />

I seem to always draw Lauren really creepy, haha, even though she's like the sweetest girl ever. ha ha, one day I will draw her supa cute.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3399.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3399.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;" /></a> and here we have awesome "sushi" cupcakes that the aforementioned lovely, Lauren, made for us. she put swedish fish and rice crispies on top. left to right: <a href="http://alexandertheart.blogspot.com/">Alex Clare</a>, Lauren, <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Matt Zitman</a>, Meself.

Katie Stahl. 2nd one of 2nd year caricature artist. I was seeing how far I could push it. I like aspects of it, but don't think it quite came together as much as I had envisioned.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3283.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3283.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 430px;" /></a>7. Kate Santee. a 4th (or 5th?) year caricature artist. She's also a very very talented artist. She does some great character designs. 1st one I drew of her. I missed on her eyes. I liked the hair.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3306.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3306.jpg" style="cursor: move; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 360px;" /></a>8. This is my friend and caricature artist, Mike Dias and his cool girlfriend, Brieann. I had an idea and went with it. not sure how well the likenesses are but I think it's kinda fun and really enjoying trying things like this.<br />

Marvel comics interview me about the short I wrote and illustrated for "Strange Tales #3"called "Suenami Cupcake!" They just posted it on their website at <a href="http://marvel.com/">www.Marvel.com</a>! you can read it <a href="http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.10056.Strange_Tales_Spotlight%7Ecolon%7E_Chris_Chua"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a>! Some of it might bore you as I tried to be serious to get across some actual information...but I did try and throw in some of my usual silliness :) thanks to Sean T. Collins for the interview!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #993300; font-weight: bold;">*NOTE! the pages they posted in the interview that I drew for some reason the colors are WAY whacked out, I think they didn't switch over to RGB (the proper format for viewing color on the web) when they posted it. I mean the colors ARE really whacked out, but it's even too whacked out what they posted, heh. so below is more like what it looks like*</span><br />

Zitman/Chua collab reject! romantic turtle! your WHALEcome!! and more!(AUG 2009)<div style="text-align: center;">Here's some of the better sketches drawn at Dorney Park, PA during this past August 2009. comments, crits, ones you liked and didn't always appreciated!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3161.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3161.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>1. I like the way the guy came out, silly and fun. the girl is ok, could have been more exaggerated cuted more. that's right I said, cuted! his earring on her head is weird and fun. that's right I said fun! oh, well I guess "fun" is a normallyed used worded. aaand I'm doned.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3164.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3164.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 270px;" border="0" /></a>2. these folks were in the army and asked if I could do something Rambo-ish. It came out decent, nothing too stylized crazy. I was using my brain juices more for figuring out the bodies which usually what happens when I'm doing bodies that I don't have as clear an idea.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3149.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3149.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 360px;" border="0" /></a>3. these girls were really chatty and loud, then when their friends came to watch and laugh they got really nervous. I thought that when they saw it that it was gonna be bad but oddly enough they liked it and had a good laugh. I was pretty happy with it and that I could connect their mouth and teeth togethery. oh and I drew my wonderful co-worker, Lauren Miller, in the braces cause she was working with me at the time.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3128.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3128.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px;" border="0" /></a>4. I like her big hair shape and some of the contrasting shapes. think the woman could have been more graphic and funner. they were a bit shocked when they saw it but were still good sports. oh and I like the way I drew the part in her hair- odd, simple and graphic.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3133.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3133.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 330px;" border="0" /></a>5. the only requirements they asked was to make something "romantic" they liked it. I drew my buddy and co-worker, <a href="http://alexandertheart.blogspot.com/">Alex Clare</a>, as the turtle again. I thought it was fun and liked that I didn't really draw in any hair for the girl with a marker and just used the color stix.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3126.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3126.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>6. I missed on the likeness but thought the body was fun. he said he liked partying and basketball so I combined them.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3008.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3008.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 360px;" border="0" /></a>7. just a nice one.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2997.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2997.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 310px;" border="0" /></a>8. hmm...at the time I drew it, I thought I really got the girl. looking at it now, eh, not as much. think mouth is too big.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2993.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2993.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>9.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2990.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2990.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>10. I was about to really jack up her face...but was one of those things where I drew a blank and couldn't really figure out a way to really push it. and I didn't want to sacrifice likeness too much. eh and even the likeness is not as strong.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2968.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2968.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>11.

I like this one, some very appropriate rollercoaster-y connect lines. prolly one of my more intense long connect line...woman's likeness and lack of exaggeration were sacrificed to line up the connect lines again though. I like that I had her holding on to his ears, I should do more of this kind of stuff.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2943.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2943.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>15. ugh. this is a fail. she wanted a body sketch but didn't know what she wanted and said the dreaded "do whatever you want" line. which can be awesome but at the same time not cause you have TOO many possibilities and so you are asking yourself, well, I like drawing weird and crazy stuff so I could just do that, but the angel side of me is like, well, I'm not sure if they're gonna like what I do and there's a part of me that really wants them to like it and obviously buy the drawing. So, I went with--I'm just gonna do whatever silly stupid idea I get. I thought her hair looked sorta like a pineapple so I'm thinking, yeah! I'm gonna draw her as a pineapple! so I'm doodling and doing my thang until I realize, I'm not exactly sure how to draw a pineapple (ironic, I know, since I had thought that she looks like a pineapple) but moreso the specifics of how the texture on the skin of it went. anyhoo, I don't think it worked out so well and I pretty much gave up halfway thru it. but it is really stupid looking in a silly semi fun way so I thought I'd let you folks see it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2940.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2940.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>16. the background blue on the right side of her makes her look kind of pixel-y. huh...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2933.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2933.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>17.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2925.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2925.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 410px;" border="0" /></a>18. looking at this now, I didn't realize how wacky it looks, heh.

I like this one. <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman </a>said I missed on the girls mouth...I can see what he's saying. and I sorta missed on the likeness on the guy. picked the wrong proportions a bit. hmm...well, maybe I don't like this one as much, heh. oh, I know what I liked, I liked that they share the middle line for their faces- his outline is the reverse of hers and vice versa- like a puzzle piece.

I ask him what he likes, he goes football. he asks what else I can draw and I spout out a big list of possibilities. nothing really catches his attention. then he goes what about football, heh. I was like ok, heh. he said he also likes grilling. <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman</a> was there and says, you should have him doing both. I didn't know it at the time, but Zitman said he usually likes to suggest that to make it harder and piss off other caricature artists but actually I like that idea of combining multiple activites and something I try to push more now. anyhoo, I liked the way this came out, it's fun. I'm slowly trying to improve my bodies so it's not something I dread as much and deem as going to make my picture suck more. I still like drawing just faces the best. oh and I drew Zitman as the guy getting hit, heh.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3086.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3086.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>59. ha ha, <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman</a> was trying to get this kid's mom to let him draw the kid but the mom kept blowing him off. I guess she was waiting for me for some reason, ha ha. again, ironic this kid and mom were from Japan and wanted another asian to draw her kid. It's like going to Japan and instead of eating their Japanese cuisine instead going to McDonalds and chopping off your legs so you'll be shorter. wait, what?!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3082.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3082.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 340px;" border="0" /></a>60. me likes it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3463-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3463-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>61. I thought it was cute and sweet. the girl was a bit surprised but cool enough with it, I think.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3460.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3460.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>62.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3453.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3453.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px;" border="0" /></a>63. so I walk up to one of our stands about to start my shift and I see my co-worker finishing up a sketch and then they are at the counter and it turns out the guy left his wallet in the car. so the girl stays and the guy goes to his car. then it turns out the guy forgot his keys so now the girl goes to give it to him. As I'm standing there with my just my co-worker, I go, hmm...do you think they don't want the sketch and are just trying to be slick and leave? heh. but sure enough, they come back, pay for it. so my co-worker leaves to go on break and this same couple comes back and says they aren't happy with the sketch. I ask them what is wrong with it, usually it's because it's that they think it doesn't look like them or that it's too funny. they said that the picture wasn't funny enough and that they just wanted a funny sketch to laugh at. hah! well that was a welcomed answer. I didn't go THAT funny and rushed it a bit more cause they already sat for 1 sketch and didn't want them to sit for too long. As I was drawing it, there was a guest behind me that was dieing with laughter at the sketch and said they were gonna come back and get one, which they did...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3469.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3469.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 310px;" border="0" /></a>64...and here they are. These people were awesome, like I said, these people saw me draw a funnier one and wanted a funny one as well. I wish I had more time to work on this but there was a crazy hail/rain storm that was passing by as I drew this so I had to hurry it up as the rain was pouring down like crazy.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3449.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3449.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 340px;" border="0" /></a>65.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3434-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3434-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>65. this kid wanted a body but didn't know what he want (for some reason I had been getting that more than not during this time) and so I went down a whole list of ideas, nothing really clicked with him. again, football was the one he was leaning towards but I said to add something with it so it's more interesting. he said he liked the new GI Joe movie and liked Storm shadow. I was like, how about a samurai, it's got swords like a samurai and he was cool with it. I added the Michael Vick of the Eagles and of the infamous dog fighting ring incident he spent time in jail for. I added the chopping of ruff ruff too, heh. his friend was watching me draw it and said, "that is a very aggressive picture" heh. I thought that was just a funny statement from like a 12 year old kid.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3427.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3427.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>66.

I drew myself in the kid's eye reflection too.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3381.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3381.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>62. hee hee. her eyes crack me up.

I started it off by drawing the girl on the left then <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman</a> drew the girl on the right. they didn't like it and it was rejected. said they looked evil or something. oddly enough, both Zitman and I BARELY pushed it, it's easiest THE most tame collab sketch we've done and our 1st collab reject. oh well. we did another one in September that was cooler, I'll post that when I go thru September's sketches to post.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3166.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_3166.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 200px;" border="0" /></a>64. ahh...and this is whale-y that I drew up. So as a park caricaturist or as a park employee you will be asked several questions a day. things like, where's the bathroom, where is this rollercoaster, etc, etc. and then usually, after we tell them the answer they will say thank you! well, I decided to draw this whale and put it on our easel out in front and when the guest says, thank you, I say, "your whalecome!" and point to the whale and go, get it? eh? eh? then they just usually smile at me or look at me funny. and then I feel all warm and gooshy inside, heehee. so that's become my new thang and I've gotten other employees to do that as well, heh. so turtle, smurtle, it's the new era of the whale now! :)<br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />well, this was pretty much the end of the busy summer season. there's still some pretty cool and crazy ones that I did in Sept and October coming up soon. I'll post those soonish!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>chris chUa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876514896669159047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36335326.post-1229761198094185672009-09-25T01:59:00.003-04:002009-09-25T03:27:19.921-04:00caricatures- Sharkman!

I tend to jump around a lot too instead of finishing one face and then moving on. that's one of my favorite lines from a guest now, hee hee. these guys were a bit shocked when they saw it but were cool about it.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2501-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2501-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>2.

I think people should emBRACE their braces. ha ha! see what I did there? me so clever, I'm going to win an award for most cleverestness! can't wait! I also wrote that on his shirt as well.

I liked the way his face came out- simple and fun. saw the movie "9" it was decent. cool visuals, ok story. needed more action or wow moments for me. I only paid 7 bux to watch it though. which was one of the best things Matt Zitman has ever taught me, hee hee...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2597.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2597.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>10. <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Matt Zitman</a> as a soccer ball. well...sorta, Matt's usually not that happy, ha!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2594-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2594-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 410px;" border="0" /></a>11. should have given him more upper lip to nose area and less upper lip. connect line from his ear to her head.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2589.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2589.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>12. these people were cool. I think I could have pushed more on the girl on right but overall I was pleased enough with how it all came together. the connect line of his head to her lips is kind of a different one than I usually do.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2580.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2580.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>13. better likeness on the guy. woman's eyes too big<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2569.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2569.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>14. nothing too crazy. made the right kid's eyes too big and close together.

I put my co-worker, Meg Grube as a turtle dumbell though. oh and I'm definitely not saying Meg is dumb or anything, she's actually quite the smarty pants, just wanted to put something irrelevant in the pic and put a co-worker in there.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2547.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2547.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 250px;" border="0" /></a>17. the girl had a ho-hum attitude when getting the sketch and had an equally ho-hum non expression attitude after seeing it and paying for it ho-hummingly.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2544-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2544-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>18. random note: I watched the 2nd episode of the new season of the Office today and that show still rules! they keep coming up with great new stories that progresses the series and it's still hilarious and clever. awesome possum!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2540.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2540.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 330px;" border="0" /></a>19. turns out the girl is a classically trained artist for many years but never drew cartoons and after watching me draw one prior, finally decided to get one...which is kinda nice, but then I do remember feeling a bit more pressure. I think I tried a bit too hard and overthought it a bit and it came out stiffer and less fun than I could have done, especially on her face. they liked it though and it was better than the one she watched me draw...but still, I wished I had this one back to do over and went looser and funnerest.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2530-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2530-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 430px;" border="0" /></a>20. ahh...my favorite college shirt to draw! :) also, man!

I missed on the "trying not to show my teeth so I'm going to clench them" look. the eyes are off a bit too and too much forehead. hmm...wonder why I'm even posting this one...I guess I still like the overall vibe of it and it looks enough like her, I suppose.

I really try not to exaggerate for the sake of exaggerating and don't want to sacrifice likeness. although at times, especially in a live setting where you don't have AS much time to carefully plan things out you have to take a chance and go for it and sometimes the bold exaggeration works out sometimes it doesn't. even still, she was quite shocked about what I did. luckily I didn't do a crazy one, prolly would have been a reject and her head would have popped off too.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2719.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2719.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 370px;" border="0" /></a>28. this was a fun cool dude. can't think of anything else to rhyme, oh poo.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2733.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2733.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 270px;" border="0" /></a>29. some unwanted wonkiness throughout, mostly the eyes which I sometimes tend to do when I don't go as crazy and try to draw "nicer." but overall, it's a nice cute sketch..hmm...prolly should have made the bottom kid's eyes a bit smaller and further apart.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2699.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2699.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 410px;" border="0" /></a>30. messed up the lines on the guy's nose a little. I like how her eyes and hands came out. connect line from his mouth to her shoulder. some softer coloring style to mix it up, never sure what I like. I tend to lean towards leaner meats, wait what? I mean I usually lean towards a more textured coloring but sometimes I like the softer blended transitions.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2694.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2694.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 210px;" border="0" /></a>31. hmm...prolly could have made it a bit more cute. I like the sharing of cheek/eye but their eyes are too close together and placement wise looks bad.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2739.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2739.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a>32. this was a demo that his parents (or guardians or adults he came with?) bought afterwards. could have been a better likeness but he had such a distinct face and I think I got enough of that that it still works. I drew outside in with drawing the face shape 1st, which I don't do as often as I'm not as confident with and tend to mess up my porportions which messes with likeness...but my instinct was that I wanted to capture the immediate essence of what made him him so I tried it that way. plus just to mix it up and do things where you aren't sure the outcome is gonna work is a nice challenge and keeps it fresh. his group he came with loved it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2690.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2690.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 460px;" border="0" /></a>33. you can't really see it in the photo, but the guy was smaller in real life and I wanted to play that off. I like how her eyes came out- I tried pushing it more graphically and less literally which is an easy trap to fall into. also an easy trap to fall into are holes covered by leaves...unless the hole is inside a house then you're just stupid if you fall(literally) for that...unless your house is lined with rugs that has a leaf motif then....touche'<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2677.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2677.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 370px;" border="0" /></a>34. I think this one came out shape-errific-ish. and the coloring actually complemented it nicely for once- still trying to figure out how I want to color things, I keep trying and bouncing around different ways. anyone remember the tv show "who's the boss?" with Tony Danza? he actually sang the star-spangled banner at a Phillies baseball game I went to last week (thanks to Jess- she rocks!) that's why I put "who's da boss" on his shirt.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2676.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2676.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 260px;" border="0" /></a>35. <a href="http://zitman.blogspot.com/">Zitman</a> watched me draw this and said I missed the likeness on the girl and I was like "what? I thought I got her..." then later on I looked at this picture I took and it was like "oh. yeah, you're right. poo" It happens a lot when you are in the moment and you feel like you are doing it right and then when you look at the picture afterwards you see all the mistakes you made. anyhoo, I still like how the guy came out a lot and actually the overall pic I like and I didn't miss on her too bad, should have made her mouth smaller/bigger nose and wider apart eyes- sometimes when I tell them to turn a 3/4 view when I draw them, I miss on the eye distances.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2669.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2669.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 380px;" border="0" /></a>36.

I'm glad I caught that expression of hers. the guy came out ok, felt like his likeness could have been a bit stronger but it was still fun.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2667.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2667.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>40. this couple watched me draw the previous couple and waited for me to draw them. sometimes I feel bad cause they refused another artist cause they wanted me to draw them. which happens to everyone and myself as well. although it's understandable, as I'D be really picky if I got one done, but at the same time you do feel a teeny bit of "aww man, what's wrong with my work?" syndrome when someone says "oh, we want to wait for that other artist." but I'd rather them get what they wanted then get something else or it turn into a reject cause they really wanted one from another artist. but at the same time, if people are waiting for me, I'm flattered. So, if someone is watching me drawing a more exaggerated one, then I try to one up it even more, partly cause they already saw what I do and partly it's to back up my fellow artist in that maybe if I pushed it TOO much they'll be like "hmm, maybe we should have gotten it done by the other artist when they asked and plus we just waited extra long for this" anyhoo, the guy was a bit shocked, heh. I liked his chin meshed to her meshed hat combo platter.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2652.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2652.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>41. demo. I like doing stuff like this and was real happy with it. the t-shirt gag I did was I changed Hurley to "Hurl" which is a game show where they have contestants do competitive eating then they put them in some sort of crazy device, like they strap them to a maching that spins them upside down. and sees who vomits 1st loses, it's hurl-arious. that's right, I said it! oh, so as I was drawing this this woman comes up behind me and says she really likes what I'm doing and I'm kinda surprised as this one is a bit out there, and at first I thought maybe she was just being nice and really didn't know what she was looking at, and so I asked her "really?! you know what this is?" and she pointed out all the features and she did know. so that was cool. then she says something that I (and other caricature artists hear a lot) that I should go work for Disney. as if it's easy to work for Disney. but then my response to that (and what I say a lot) is that sure that might be great, but for ME, I like knowing that a good amount of the drawings I'm doing are going up on people's walls which can't be said about those Disney artists, which isn't a knock on them. as I'm sure they're making WAY more money than I am but I just really really enjoy my job doing live caricatures and feel that it's a very unique job and has lots of cool unique things to it and I'm drawing a new face and a new challenge every few minutes.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2924.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2924.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>42. this one was funny in that as I was drawing them, the girl on the left was telling me she likes art and specifically surreal stuff. well, how appropriote since I was already making it pretty wacked out and surreal-y. she had this worried smile thing happening, heh. oh and the right girl was eating an icecream cone so I put it in but she had finished before I was done.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2874.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2874.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 360px;" border="0" /></a>43. cheeks!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2904.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2904.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>44. fun faces.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2909.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2909.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 260px;" border="0" /></a>45.these were the kids of the one right above.

I drew this a few hours later that same day as the other one. guess I just had "eye on people's faces" on the brain.

Zitman said I missed on the girl but I think I got her. wait, or maybe he changed his mind after seeing the photo again. I forget. also, the other day at the grocery store I accidently grabbed the wrong shopping cart and after strolling it around, I thought to myself "hmm...I don't remember grabbing a giant box of tomatoes...oops." so after about 10 minutes I stroll back to where I think I grabbed the wrong cart and found my original cart (which correctly had a giant bag of rice, of course) and then a guy in another cart points to my cart with a puzzled look and I go, hey, this is your cart, right? ha. he was still confused and didn't seem to be coherent, he sorta muttered to himself "...I left my cart here and then was confused...." but it turned out all right, I tried to play it off all light hearted "...heh. sorry about that, ha ha" and quickly strolled away. awwwwkward, heh. oh and he was asian too. I chastised him about having too many tomatoes and not enough rice in his cart, heh, ok, I didn't.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2790.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2790.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 290px;" border="0" /></a>54. should have made his forehead even bigger and eyes lower, but still pretty cute, me thinks. although I could have picked a more dynamic pose.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2795.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2795.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 310px;" border="0" /></a>55. I missed on the girl but overall I was happy with getting all 5 in with exaggeration, likeness and all the connect lines. middle guy is a little small. when I try to get my connect lines to fit sometimes stuff like that happens, usually it's likeness gets loss like what happened to the girl,<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2796.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2796.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 190px;" border="0" /></a>56. guy needs more upper lip to nose area. overall-eh, borderline post worthy.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2798.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2798.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>57.

I like this one. it's fun and more simple-y. unintentially made her eyes kinda off though, oops. the guy mentioned something about me drawing him as the hulk or something so I just made him muscular-y.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2844.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2844.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 250px;" border="0" /></a>65. haha so this cocky lil kid comes up to me and says how about I draw him for 5 bucks. it was really really slow so I said, sure...BUT it's gonna be really funny. he agreed. as I was drawing him, his friend watching was dying with laughter, making him feel very uncomfortble, he kept saying "oh, man, oh man, is it done?! " etc. etc. covering his face and getting red. not so cocky now, huh, kid? so this is one of those situations where others laughing/heckling build up so much bad thoughts in the guest being drawn's head that they are already so negative. so as soon as I showed it to him, he took it and ripped it apart and said "worst 5 bux I ever spent" ha ha. I made him pay 1st, so still a sale, hooray, me! I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the kid but did manage to snap a blurry one of the sketch before it became food for the garbage can.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2850.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2850.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>66. this was a redraw and usually, I go tamer to make sure we still get a sale. but for this one, I didn't feel like it, cause they rejected my buddy, Shaun Stipick's sketch and I didn't want to go tame for him. His sketches rock and he does some of the best bodies ever! anyhoo, I was kinda happy with how this turned out. I should have made the mom's chin larger, but at the same time, I'm glad I didn't cause I already didn't leave enough room for the baby as it is. that baby was uber cute!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2877.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2877.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 340px;" border="0" /></a>67. should have made her eyes wider apart and smaller...I like all the shapes and coloring shapes though.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2879.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2879.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 310px;" border="0" /></a>68. yay to drawing eyes as lines.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2886.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2886.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>69. oh boy, oh boyo! so this one's got a cool story behind it. so on this day it was rainy and I was hustling trying to get some sales. I see this couple maybe about 20 feet away looking at the stand talking, I was guessing that they were trying to decide if they wanted to get one or not. then they turned away and went on their way. I told, Katie Lawter, my fellow caricaturist, that I should go after them, even though they were pretty far away and it'd be kinda awkward to hustle someone so far away...but sometimes you gotta do stuff like that. so I run after them and told them that I'd cut them a deal if they got one done. the guy says, ok but they wanted to go inside the gift store first...which usually means that they'll never come back. but you, my friend, are a sleuth and know I drew them so you know they'll come back...or DO they?! stay tuned! oh. I guess to right now. So I go back to my stand thinking, yeah, MAYbe they'll come back but you never really know when people say that stuff, we're used to people not coming back after saying they will. So I was wating and telling Katie that I want to draw this guy real bad as well, cause he looked like a shark to me, at least his teeth. Then it starts to rain really hard, boooo. but what's this?! the couple comes back and I was like, "you're back!!" but I couldn't draw them cause it was just raining too hard and the paper would get wet. I said if it lets up, come back and I'll draw ya. So they said they'd go hang in the waterpark pool and then come back if it lets up. so soon after, it did stop raining and actually it was one of those days where it was just a passing rainstorm and then it got super sunny! yay! but I waited and waited and they never came back *tear* I stayed about 30 mintues past my shift, hoping that I'd get to draw shark man...and lo and behold they came back!! hooray! I was soo excited! I sat them down and the 1st thing I say to the guy is "do you like sharks?" he goes "yes" I said, "awesome." and then went along with my sketch. they only asked for color faces but I threw in the shark eating her on the house, heh. they were cool people. yay! oh, I tried to make their faces a heart shape but I dont' think it came out as obvious. and I make a cameo as a sea turtle.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2891-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2891-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>70. this one came out decent. lots of connect lines.

I think this is our 4th one overall. a pretty tame one, especially mine. Matt's is better. Matt is in the background making faces, oh wait, that is his normal face, zing! we haven't done as many collabs this year. we actually did another one the following month that got rejected, and it was the LEAST exaggerated collab we've done too. after that Matt chickened out and doesn't want to collab anymore. I'll post that one in August's caricature post. I'll get him to collab some more before the season ends. I wanna collab with Alex Clare as well.<br /><br /><div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">---------------------------------<br /></div><div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><br /></div><div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">so overall, I think this month's stuff is more successful and I'm happier with a lot more of them.

WAY too much excitement here, heh. they both pretty much held those expressions the whole time I was drawing them until I showed them the sketch and I got a smile from the girl. yay!

I took a chance on this one. the 1st line I threw down was that circle of the kids forehead. I didn't plan anything out and just put it down. luckily it worked out nicely and I put the eyes and nose on that line. that is one of those happy accidents that I enjoy. it's nerve-racking but fun when things come together.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2003.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2003.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a>8.

Matt did some sweet sketches. I took pictures of all of Matt's. Bug Matt to post them on his blog! think this one took me like 5 seconds, heh.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2262.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2262.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>10.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2264.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2264.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>11.

I liked this one except for the pants, I was trying to make them overly large for a funny effect but messed up and made it look kinda like a dress. I like the puddle of drool. all the family said was do anything as long as he's got his lollipop. my dilema was that after I drew in the lolli, I had to draw in his hands to hold it and it was too long, so it looks like he's got an extra long shoulder arm thing.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2327.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2327.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 300px;" border="0" /></a>14.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2328.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2328.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 280px;" border="0" /></a>15.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2334.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2334.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a>16. He had such a jackpot face and I messed it up. Should have emphasized his protruding lower mouth and gums. my favorite part of the drawing is that I drew a "Perdue" chicken on his shirt playing off of his Purdue school name, hee hee. seriously, this is the kind of stuff that makes my jello brain dance.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2339-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2339-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a>17.

I could've went for it even more. still haven't been pushing it as much during this time period.

I do mix it up though and when I do work outside in, I do get more interesting solutions and sometimes get more weird lopsidedness, like the baby- I threw down that left side line first then was like, oopsie.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2462.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2462.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>37.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2472.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2472.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 350px;" border="0" /></a>38. demo that I really liked.

The guy was kind of neutral the whole time I was drawing them, he was pleasant and all, just really sleepy. but then he lit up and really liked it when he saw it which was cool. I was happy with it. her eye to his eyebrow connect line and they share the center line for their face outline.<br /><br /><a href="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2493-1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/chrischuaart/IMG_2493-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: move; display: block; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a>44.
