This is my first try of Arek and Becky.   I had not done any reference sketches.  I didn't think this looked at all like a wedding caricature. 

I used several photos as reference to create this wedding caricature of a good friend of mine.  My goal was to not use a pencil drawing underlay.  I need to  be confident and dive right in with a marker drawing.   I can't lie.  It is a challenge.   I want to be able to create quick live caricature drawings for events.   The advice I have gotten is NOT to draw out your image first.    This makes sense and I will only get quicker with time.   

I did do some sketches ahead of time to use as reference for this drawing.   I wanted it to turn out well.

I hope you like it.  I had fun working on it.
