January 2016 Thirty Day Challenge Day 1,Todd and Leslie Caricature


Todd and Leslie Caricature Art with Pitchforks
size 9x12,  marker on Bristol Paper


This picture start my thirty day challenge for January 2016.   I have decided to do thirty caricature drawings of family, friends, and famous people.   I asked for requests on Facebook and this was my first request.   Caricature pictures are defined as imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated on order to create a comic or grotesque effect.    As an artist I like to stay away from pushing the image to far away from the original portrait.   I just do this mostly for the costumers satisfaction.  So individuals are fun to stretch in different directions but,  overall the costumer usually likes a less grotesque effect.  
Leslie and her husband Todd are old friends but I still kept the caricature tight.   They are always smiling and usually happy so this was a great time to show off their great personalities.    I used several photos from FB as my reference.   Todd sometimes has a beard as sometimes doesn't so I decide to just go with the photo.   I don't know about the pitch forks but, a request was received so it was added.  They live in the country so maybe that had something to do with it.

This is the first of thirty caricature drawings.   I am taking request so get yours in fast before all the spaces are full.   I ask for permission before doing any caricature.  I will do famous people too!   

Hope you enjoyed my first of thirty caricatures.   Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year in 2016!  This picture can be purchased for $25 shipping included.    Please just send me a message or email at yvonneham@yahoo.com.
