But meanwhile, I tried to draw some samples - something like what I drew at the party:

I used to study Animation from Mark Stansberry (creator of Puddin).
And the first thing we did at each class was to draw a live model.
I revisited one of those drawings today. My own self-imposed assignment was to add form to the old picture.

Here's the old picture, my first try of today, and then the one that I liked.
I can see that the first one had plenty of form. But it was too tight, too closed.

I just scanned in 3 pictures - planning on
asking you to tell me which is better.
But I could see them differently when they
were on the Computer. I could easily see
that the one I like best is the one that came
out of me naturally.

Here's what happened:
I brought my car in to be fixed today.
Woke early - just to sit around a waiting room.
I saw a "People Magazine" on the table.
Picture of Owen Wilson on the cover.
That's a face people Notice.

I picked up a dirty piece of paper -
made a basic Caricature of Owen Wilson:

Wondered about Line Quality...
this cheap practice-paper is practically transparent.
So I could kinda see-through the paper -
sort of traced it - but with very loose very quick lines.
Wondering if looser is better:

Then I came home. Did the same 'tracey thing'
with a better marker. More careful lines:

I like to see them here all together.
I can see clearly why people like my pictures
at parties. Real me is better than edited me.

Let's see now. What would I like to show?
Here's some Caricature work that I was doing on my spare time.
From a photo.
The first picture - what a washout. Why bother, I thought.
So then I did picture #2. A nice plain Caricature.
That passes, but it's not quite mambo baffo, if you know what I mean.
Just a picture of the man:

I decided that I'd like to pull out the mouth area,
so I made picture #3.
What could I have been thinking?!?

Picture #4 is getting better. But it's kinda ugly:

Maybe I'm getting somewhere with picture #5.

But this isn't a job; I'm just playing around.
I don't feel like fussing anymore.
So here's the easier exaggeration,
the standard one that would have been expected.
If I was in a hurry, I could have just done
something that looks Right.
But this is me - I try new things. :
