A few lines in black and white

Black and white drawings are fun, and challenging to me because I know that I will not have the opportunity to clean anything up with color, The product is to be a raw, clean, and humorous drawing without the polish of the airbrush. Because of this I attack a black and white caricature differently (not a whole lot differently) than I would do a color caricature. I try to use as few lines as possible to portray the necessary information of a face to make it a recognizable likeness. These are a couple drawings that I was satisfied with...

But just because I was satisfied with it doesn't mean the customers were. This one was returned because "It didn't look like her" and I "didn't draw polka-dots on her bathing suit." Those were just two reasons among other things basically inferring that I didn't know how to draw. But like I said, I liked it, and thought I achieved a decent likeness on both of them, but what do I know?

Fun drawing, thought I captured more than a likeness, with some personality. They were a very animated mother daughter duo.

Nothing more than an interesting drawing, not 100% what I imagined when I started, but turned out interesting none the less.

I REALLY wish the little boy wasn't so short, he had a super interesting face, for a little kid at least. I liked the quality of this one, but I think I went a little thick on some of the lines...

Just a fun and interesting couple all around, what else can I say? I enjoyed drawing the bodies just as much as the faces in this one!

Being Lazy, and some cartoony drawings...

As no one has probably noticed, for someone to notice people would have to actually read this blog, but I have gotten lazy, and have not posted in quite some time. That doesn't mean that I haven't been working at the park and recording some of my drawings, it just means that I haven't posted in awhile. So naturally, I have quite a few drawings to share, all at once. But I will not post them all at once, I'm going to post them several at a time every couple days, and hopefully tell a little bit about the drawings or whatever if I have stuff to say, something that I have not been doing. Well, I'm done blabbing, here are a few drawings from the past month or so....


These couple drawings all have the same "feeling" to them, and thats the reason I have decided to post them together, often I feel like I try to push exaggeration too much and lose the "life" of a drawing. Yea, this sounds a bit corny, but its true a lot of the times. The more spontaneous a drawing is sometimes the more I like it, blah, weird, but here, some more cartoony park sketches...

The one above didn't turn out exactly how I planned, mostly because it was rushed (darn people wanting a triple done five minutes before closing! I really wish goofy kids came early in the day...) But I liked it...so...here...

Once again, had a "vibe" that I liked. The background was a request, the girl wanted it colorful, and this is what she got. But she seemed to like it!

This drawing was so long ago, I really don't remember a whole lot about it, was one of the days when I worked alone, it was a fun drawing, and I think I achieved a decent likeness...I hope!

Drawing messed up girls hair is fun, even if they think it's "perfect"

When I started this one, I wasn't looking for a whole lot of exaggeration, I just wanted to make them look goofy without a whole lot of distortion. I like it...
