02-10-11 World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA - Day 3

It was a great week of drawing caricatures in Tulare.

Here's some of my quick portrait drawings from the final day of this year's World Ag Expo.

I started out drawing one of the GM Specialists.

This was the only color drawing I did at the show. It was too busy to attempt color with any regularity.

02-09-11 World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA - Day 2

On Wednesday, day 2 of the 2011 World Ag Expo, I drew 87 11x14" caricature portraits plus one 8.5x11" from a distance.
TV station CBS 47 had a booth right across from GMC. At noon each day of the Ag Show they had a live broadcast featuring Jenny Toste. I drew Jenny from the bleachers on my lunch break.

Here's some of my favorite images from day 2.
Starting with the first drawing of the morning.

02-08-11 World Ag Expo, Tulare, CA - Day 1

Tuesday found BigAlArt in Tulare at the World Ag Expo drawing at the GMC booth for the 8th year. This year my drawing partner was Rasa Vitalia. Here are some of my caricature captures from the first day of the 3 day show. I used 77 sheets of 11x14", 67# vellum bristol this day.

This was the first portrait sketch of the day and the show.





This young man got drawn early in the day and came back later and asked if I could do an exaggerated caricature.

This was the last of Tuesday's drawings.

It's always nice to work close to home.

Saturday, February 5, 2011 found me in Brentwood, CA 94513.

Around 25 quick black and white caricature portraits drawn by this artist at a 12 year old's surprise party.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their drawings.

Drew too quick for pics.

01-31-11 West Valley College, Saratoga, CA - South Bay

The final day of January 2011 found this artist drawing Caricature portraits for West Valley College.
It was the start of a new semester and Student Activities had me come and draw for "Welcome Week".
They were a fun and varied group.

Here are some of my Chisel Tip Marker stylings from the event-
