How Do I Do A Caricature?<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Drawing Caricatures all year has been such a source of joy for me, and after the reduced events of the past two years, it was so much fun, doing caricatures at parties, weddings, festivals and graduation events! I think I have had more gigs this year than before the Pandemic, which is really meaningful to me, since this is my tenth year doing caricatures!</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Below are photos from a few of my Fall gigs!</span></h2><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span>Some people always ask me what part of the face I choose to exaggerate first and how I decide that. </span></span><span>I don't really think about it consciously, because I'm used to doing this. </span></span><span>But If I take the time to think about it I would choose to increase or reduce whatever stands out to me first when I look at a person. Large ears will be larger, small eyes smaller, long hair, longer- all compared to the rest of the face. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Each caricaturist does it a different way but, I draw the face from the inside out. I found out that if I draw the outline of the face first I have trouble making the features fit, so I draw the features first. There is no one right way to do it.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: large;">That's just the way I do it!</span><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I did the guitar design in the center as well. It was done on parchment paper in ink and watercolors. I think I sold the original years ago to someone, I don't remember who.

We got to see Tommy Di Palo (StregaNona, etc.) speak about his Italian-Irish family and how he based many of his books on his upbringing in that culture. </span></p><div style="min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">One of the workshops I took that day was presented by the noted African-American children's book illustrator James Ransome. He showed slides of his work and discussed his method of illustration and especially how he used composition to compliment the action in his books! After the workshop I got to ask him a question I had because I was working on a children's book at the time that featured an African-American child. </span></div><div style="min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I asked about illustrating children from a different culture or race than your own. I had previously read an article saying that illustrators or writers should stay within their own race or culture in their artistic endeavors. In other words, since I'm white do I have the right to illustrate or write a story featuring a person of a different race or culture? </span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">He was very kind and encouraging and said he felt that as long as you research your subject well, anyone should be able to write or illustrate any race or culture. He mentioned that he had created illustrations of white people and had always wanted to be very accurate in his portrayal! I was so grateful for that interchange and glad that I had had the chance to meet him!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Here's a quote by James Ransome stressing the need for illustrators of all races to create children's books that represent minorities!</span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Q. Do you feel there is a lack of books out there to show minority children images of themselves?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"> <span>"I think the industry is changing, but I think there's lots of room for more books about different kids. Usually, the burden is put on African-Americans or Hispanics or Asians to do books about themselves, so they can be represented. If an illustrator is doing a book, why not have some of the kid's friends be of different nationalities? So often, the burden of inclusion is dealt with only by minorities. It's not dealt with by white illustrators. Without it being written in the text, I would like to see more of that. I think that would help everyone. The responsibility is not just with minorities trying to depict minorities in different situations. Everyone should be trying to do it.</span></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.childrenslit.com/childrenslit/mai_ransome_james.html">http://www.childrenslit.com/childrenslit/mai_ransome_james.html</a></span></div><div><img alt="Illustration by James Ransome" height="320" src="http://www.jamesransome.com/images/portfolio/let_people.jpg" style="text-align: center;" title=""Let My People Go"" width="236" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN37MGkNTUMExMzeLSFra4276oTAZFAbYhuUFooD2eJjW99-1MxSoAC7nRDBiTKsk17TNkK_I022vdCWVdMjWaZAK20rox7beyc43PrV0NFDZAUeHp9-W8fXn8RRkfI0Up9P-pb3BTM70H/" style="margin-left: 1em;

She always had customers coming to our house for her wonderful sewing skills. </span></p><p><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">She often did alterations for them and created hand-made clothing. We went quite often to the textile store. Oh how I loved getting lost in that store, hiding among the rich beautiful bolts of fabrics nestled close together on shelves. It seemed like there were hundreds of them. I became intoxicated by the textures, colors, patterns and feel of the cloth. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjng3yuwswRb92FoUnAAMGhCIpFe_u1ngRNNL_a6fHi4uGxm2FMNtJz7zO8M9JLy1CebhK1Zy-IL266ali5sn8spAfdeeDtzdLeHkDNw5Bi0IsiBFnZYTBdNhgruAIfU03ziIWq7cFXT_k1/s2048/Illustration+Fri+mushrooms.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1488" data-original-width="2048" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjng3yuwswRb92FoUnAAMGhCIpFe_u1ngRNNL_a6fHi4uGxm2FMNtJz7zO8M9JLy1CebhK1Zy-IL266ali5sn8spAfdeeDtzdLeHkDNw5Bi0IsiBFnZYTBdNhgruAIfU03ziIWq7cFXT_k1/w400-h290/Illustration+Fri+mushrooms.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When I was in College majoring in Illustration/Visual Design, with a concentration on Children's Books, I did a work-study job for at least one semester, being an assistant to one of the Textile teachers. Besides basic cleaning up after students I got to organize drawing materials, and including labeling shells and other nature items, and putting away still life objects that the students used for drawing. At one point I got to help her organize a slide show of student work that would be shown simultaneously with a second slide show that featured photos of city scenes and nature scenes. My task was to find similarities between the student work and the photos. I almost switched my major to textiles.

One is the third in a series of Mr. Muffins books, written by Bill Pagum. The other a middle reader called Jelly Bean Jones written by Jane Fraser. And I'm about to launch into illustrating another picture book.</div><div><br /></div><div>Plus, I was able to get around to switching my website to a Wix site, which I had been wanting to do for more than a year! It took some experimenting but I'm proud to say I did it mostly by myself! Yay! there's still more to learn, but I'm happy with it. Check it out here! <a href="www.leonahosack.com">www.leonahosack.com</a></div><div>Please let me know what you think!</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy also to announce my new Redbubble Shop!

Salt River Performs!</h2>
Been checking out different videos of Salt River on line and pulled this up from two years ago on You Tube. We did this concert for the Summer Concert Series at Durham Library, in Durham, NH. It was a very fun concert featuring Mike Rogers on his amazing blues harmonica! We have a new bass player since this concert, Dan McClellan.

Celebrating 10 years pursuing my art and looking forward to the next ten! </h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Ten years ago in 2010 I started doing silhouettes and began my Etsy shop!</span></h2>
In 2012 I started adding Caricatures to my shop and started doing them in public. In 2014 I started connecting to online agencies and began to do silhouettes and caricatures for private parties, festivals and weddings for hire! Some pictures included below!<br />
<br />
Before that time I had illustrated one book, and had had some illustrations in a several collections of stories and some children's magazines, but not often. I have written and/or illustrated eight children's book since 2010, and am about to start illustrations for two more children's books in 2020!<br />
Here's the list! Yahoo!<br />

I decided to join the many artists accepting the online 31 day art challenge #Inktober2019 this year. <a href="https://inktober.com/rules">https://inktober.com/rules</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hadn't heard of this one before, and though I've done art challenges like Illustration Friday, I tend to draw almost every day, even if I don't have a book project going on, or any caricaturing gigs or custom orders to finish. Drawing is what I do for fun and to relax even if I've been giging! So I didn't need this challenge in order to draw more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to try Inktober to get back into posting my work on line more! I amazed myself in that I actually finished the month long challenge by posting my work on line every single day. I hope to utilize that feeling of accomplishment to work on my new goals for 2020! Below are some of my artwork produced in October during the #Inktober 2019 online challenge.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwb8JCSxxQ8KR04H34Qz9aqPheWimnbaRm1kmLHx1QmW8cBnunKcDiDFEQxAOKtrhyphenhyphenZQLA0y40uB-8E6zSZLAcWoksUXb8AAu4tqa0xzDC_swM_IXg-VPPud9s30XU50vLZq44piY-mH6/s1600/Superstar+power.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1236" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwb8JCSxxQ8KR04H34Qz9aqPheWimnbaRm1kmLHx1QmW8cBnunKcDiDFEQxAOKtrhyphenhyphenZQLA0y40uB-8E6zSZLAcWoksUXb8AAu4tqa0xzDC_swM_IXg-VPPud9s30XU50vLZq44piY-mH6/s320/Superstar+power.png" width="247" /></a></div>

Yay! Day 3 of #Inktober2019! I drew this using Pigma Micron 02 and 08 ink pens. I'm choosing not to use the suggested list of prompts but am focusing on my Cheering Child designs for now. For shading I just used graphite. This kid is cheering himself on!

Hi Guys!<br />
This is my second Cheering Child design that I'm sharing for #Inktober2019, a 31 day online Art Challenge.<a href="https://inktober.com/rules">https://inktober.com/rules</a> I'm not really sure I'll be able to post every day, but I'm starting out that way and will see how it goes!#leonahosackInktober2019<br />
<br />
I have been playing around with my idea of Cheering Children for a while, but now would like to work them up a bit so that I can present them on my Etsy shop eventually as instant downloads for a child's room decor, and also would like to produce these designs on items such as tee-shirts and canvas bags, etc.<br />
<br />
There is a list of suggested prompts to use for this challenge, but I'm choosing to focus on my own designs and I may work in some Halloween ideas. Everyone needs cheering up now and then, right?<br />
Wish me luck!<br />

I was asked to do this caricature of a deceased friend of my nephew, so he could give it to the man's widow, which is a very kind thing to do! I love the photo I worked with as it shows the person, whom I never knew, as a very interesting guy, though out of respect I have not included the photo here! I loved drawing the peacock feathers! Apparently he was a musician among other things! Which version do you like?<br />

Here is my newest submission to Illustration Friday. The theme this week is "Fairies". This is an illustration I did quite a few years ago just for fun, but I think this is the first time I've posted this piece online.</h2>
<div>
I find that occasionally doing an art challenge like Illustration Friday gets my creative juices flowing and allows me to move forward in my illustrative abilities. Still growing as an artist even in my sixties! And fairies will never go out of style! These fairies are taking a tea time break from all their fairy work!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">They had planned the event around my doing silhouettes, and had arranged for people to sign up ahead of time, and though we didn't have a crowd of people, there were enough to keep me busy, and several families wanted silhouettes of more than one child and also wanted to buy the extra silhouettes!

cut two silhouettes at a time, because I can either keep them as extras, or sell them to people for a lesser price. Also cutting a folded piece of silhouette paper (always black on one side and white on the other) with the black on the inside makes it much easier to cut! All in all a very nice (though cold) day at the Old York Village Museum!<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">The next day, February 10 was my birthday! And 27 years ago on that day I gave birth to my last of three children, a son! What a birthday gift! I have to say that I'm grateful that so far, he doesn't mind celebrating our birthdays together!

Almost two years has passed since I illustrated Ronald Tomanio's book"The Imperfect Pilgrim and One Summer, two wonderful stories written with Baha'i Junior Youth in mind. I love the challenge, (as an illustrator of children's books) of creating a visual character that fits the story as well as continuing a consistent look for that character throughout the book. I find it fun to try to figure how a person would look like from different angles!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The theme that week was Winter! I needed a reason to draw and when I learned what the theme was, I drew this with no planning or pre-drawing in about a half hour, for fun! I sketched it in pencil, and then using my new LED copy board, I inked over it with a fine permanent marker, and then colored it in with watercolor pencils!<br />
