A few sketches off the telly

A lot of caricaturists use celebrity caricatures drawn from photos to showcase their skills. Personally, I think it is somewhat disingenuous to use this kind of stuff to promote myself as a live caricature entertainer but I do spend many happy hours practising in front of the TV and computer screen.
Here are a few of my practice sketches.

Wedding Caricatures at Tracey Park near Bath

I was booked through Finesse Caricaturists to attend Rob and Lisa's wedding at Tracey Park last Saturday. I kicked off before the wedding breakfast by doing caricatures of the children who were being entertained in a seperate room. Here is one of the bridesmaids - the photo was taken later when I was able to ask her parent's permission. As you can see - she had changed into something more comfortable

I took a short break while the main course awas being served and had the chance to draw some of the hotel staff...

Once the main course was over I worked around the tables drawing another 16 or so of the guests. Everyone was in a great mood and clamouring to be next!

Squeezing between the tables isn't the easiest way to work but it provides a lot of fun for the "victims" and onlookers alike!

Once the speeches were over I followed eveyone downstairs to capture yet more of the happy crowd!
