New Found Respect

I have been as busy as a bee, over the last two weeks? I have managed to get myself the job I have been after for almost a year and that is as a Caricature Artist at a Theme Park. It all happened so quick, it has taken me by complete surprise! At present I am being moved around to different ones each couple of days but I am sure once the Theme Parks start to get busy it will be all hands on deck and I will stay at just one of them most of the time. My new found respect for Live Drawing Caricature Artists is just how busy and quick you need to be at drawing and it is very hard to please everyone all the time. I have always thought it easy to snap off a photo each time you do one, but in reality you are so busy getting the next customer set up you forget or just do not get a chance.
Below is the entrance to Thorpe Park, one of the parks I am drawing at.

The next is the set up at Chessington World of Adventure although when the season is fully under way their will be 3 or 4 caricature artists working each with their own umbrella/easel etc.


and finally for now all I could muster for caricaturama 3ooo was the Biro drawing below, although I quite like it but do not have any time to colour or digitally paint on to it.

I am sorry I have no pictures of the Caricatures I have Drawn but I promise to try harder for next time. Thanks for looking in and  Best Wishes to all.

  2. Many Thanks Karl, the pressure is on to keep everyone happy with there caricature although I seem to draw a lot of cute kids in more of a cartoon style at the moment! I am being swapped around a bit between, Thorpe ParK and Chessington WOA at the moment, but if you do catch me do say hello.

    Best Wishes
