Music Festival Sketches

These were drawn with a ball point pen at MerleFest. An Americana music festival held in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. I always bring my sketchbook where ever I go.

Quick Caricatures

When I draw at colleges and other large events I draw faster. These were done in two and a half to three minutes.

Scarlett Johansson

I like making simple graphic caricatures like this one of Scarlett Johansson. This was hand drawn with a brush pen, scanned and colored with the computer program PhotoShop. This is a great style for a gift caricature!

When I am looking at someone's face I think about the head shape (a triangle in this case) and how to exaggerate the "T" shape of the eyes and nose.
