I just completed a double caricature commissioned through my Etsy Shop. I was sent a photo of these sisters and went back and forth with the client several times sending her sketches and redoing them as she requested until the sketch was just what she wanted. Then I drew it in permanent black ink and added color with colored pencils, with a touch of white paint for the crowns and highlights in their eyes!

You can see in the original drawing (above) that the teeth on both girls were more prominent and goofy. She requested a softening of the side of the faces and less emphasis on the teeth. The final color piece reflects this. I find that a lot of people, though not all, do not want teeth showing in their caricatures, especially at festivals. Sometimes it's just that they don't want to smile! But I love the smiles in the photo I worked from!
