End of 2015 Silhouettes and Caricatures

-
These are pics of the last two gigs I did in 2015! Plus a great video on how to cut silhouettes and a very informational video on caricaturing tools! Now I'm ready to use my off season to drum up some new gigs for the 2016 Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday Season! I'm very excited about a Wedding Vendor Mixer I'm going to in a week in Portsmouth, Maine, sponsored by www.gayweddingsinmaine.com! Hope to line up some wedding gigs for my silhouetting OR caricaturing or even both!
A Silhouette I cut  in about five minutes at Sarah Orne Jewett House in the middle of south Berwick, ME during their Home For The Holidays Christmas Celebration in early December 2015.

Here's a great you tube video on cutting Silhouettes by Cindi Rose!
A caricature I did from someone's cell phone at a Christmas Craft Fair in 2015!
I worked from two different photos and did a composite drawing.

Three ladies I did a caricature of, for the Gorham Bank Christmas Party held in Portland, ME in Dec. 2015.

I've been looking into finding better drawing tools to use for my caricaturing. 

Here's a helpful you tube video on Caricaturing supplies!

I think I managed to depict them both in this illustration. What do you think? What is the story here? The illustration below is one I did a few years back for a book idea I had called "Katy Has A Kitty." I still have a lot to learn about story telling in Illustration but practicing helps! My newest submission to Illustration Friday! The theme this week is "Refrain"! Cover for "Katy Has A Kitty". Norman Rockwell is one of my favorite American artists!  He was both an amazing portrait artist and illustrator!
