Doing caricatures at the The Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) Conference at The Shaw Conference Center, was an evening that flew by so quickly.
Here is a photo of a great young guy I talked to who was enjoying the conference. Not only do I have a great time drawing, but talking with people as I draw them is a real bonus that goes along with the territory!
I think I may comment on “talking with people” a little too often .... but I can’t help it if I’m a people person! AND it makes the time go faster for the person I’m drawing too. There’s a tip for ya: If you’re new at doing caricatures ...
smile at them and talk to them. You’ll get a good sense of what kind of person they are so that you can capture their personality in the caricature: Are they a REALLY happy person? If they are, then looking for that huge smile to draw is what you go for. Some people are captured with a smirk or little grin.
