GWL caricatures 24--Amanda the elusive face! argh. (Dec. 2006)




This is Amanda, she's a cool cat. She helped out at Great Wolf during Dec '06 for a few days. I had the hardest time drawing her. Most of the time I feel I can figure out how to solve someone's face but she is one of the few where I tried everything and thought I had it solved but nothing was working right. here are 3 that I just decided to color up. I have a bunch that are in various stages of black and white that super suck big time. I like these 3 pictures as pictures but as far as likeness it's pretty much notta. maybe the 1st is figureoutable. I like the coloring on the 2nd one. that was fun. I made her look pretty creepy though. and the 3rd one too. I'll be seeing Amanda this summer when I visit Dorney park where she is the assistant manager and hopefully I'll do a much better one. especially since it's been 3 months since and I've drawn a ton of live caricatures since. looking at her now, I think I have a take on her...guess we'll see

GWL caricatures 23- big noggin, big eyes and 1 sided hair kids (Dec. 2006)




these 3 siblings were fun to draw, I asked if they wanted it crazier and they were cool with it. I was more happy with these even though not sure the likenesses are all that great... I think the last one is decent. the girl is ok/enough clues to figure who it is and the 2nd, is just ok. hmm...actually I missed on a lot of stuff here. it's funny to look back at these caricatures I did a few months ago, see different stuff now. I do like the coloring on these. that last one background red is prolly too distracting, but I asked what his favorite color is and he said red, so sometimes I like to vary it up and do it anyway, and try added some other color to it so it's not too friggin distracting.

GWL caricatures 22- don't be sad, be Gladys! (Dec. 2006)


this is Gladys, she's cool. I like her hair. it's got cool wavy highlightedness. was a fun pic to draw. her hair was down when I drew her. I'm not that dum. ok, maybe I yam. I mean sweet potato
