Boys will be boys. Always trying to act tough.

Some color caricatures from December 2010 events. East Bay & North Bay

In December of 2010 I had a chance to draw some color caricatures at parties in San Ramon and Napa.

Here are some of the results of my quick color portraits from December.

These were drawn with Sharpie Markers and Prismacolor Art Stix on 11x14" 67# vellum bristol paper.

03-04-11 GLO, San Francisco, SOMA

The first Friday of March found this artist drawing caricatures in San Francisco.

This is the 4th year in a row I've drawn at the GLO staff appreciation event.

I did lots of multiple person drawings. Here's some of the portraits I drew last night.

Next year I should bring bigger paper.
I was asked if I could draw 8 on a page!

Once in awhile I'll draw as many people as can get in front of me, but the evening was still early and I didn't want to wear myself out too soon.

This drawing came out great!

... and another 6 person drawing from the evening.


If I had to choose a favorite draw from last night's event ... this would be it.

These two wanted to look tough.


This was a fun event! I hope to be back next year.

02-26-11 Chase Bank, San Jose, CA - South Bay

The last Saturday of February found this artist drawing caricatures at a Chase Bank in San Jose.

I had an early start to the day. Cooking spanish rice for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary before heading to the south bay.

It was a 10am start time. A 3 hour quick draw session. Sketched about 35-40 faces.

Here are some results from my chisel tip portrait sketches.

02-25-11 Father/Daughter Dinner, Alamo, CA - East Bay

Round Hill Country Club had Wolfgang Niesielski and myself out to draw caricatures once again.
Tonight we were joined by our colleague Gordon Ng.

This is another annual event I do. I'm not even sure how many years, but it's been quite a few.

The first part of the evening was super busy, but as the night wore on there were less and less girls in line.
Gordon was drawing in color all night long. Wolfgang was drawing profiles and adding bodies and animals as he usually does.
I spent most of the night drawing in black and white and averaging about 15 images per hour.
Toward the end I did a few caricatures in color.

Here's a shot of one of my final drawings of the night.


Special thanks go out to agent/entertainer Carla Winter and her CWE, Carla Winter's Entertainment, for our presence at the event.
