Every drawing should make a definite statement, and creating a character is one kind of statement. I think next time, though, I'll tell the person in advance that I"m not drawing them, but rather a character, so they can have fun acting.<br /><br />Rich, I suppose so. In caricature conventions they do merciless caricatures of each other all the time.<br /><br />Mitch, Although I'm not currently working on a new book, I think there's a lot to add to Imaginative Realism and C & L from the perspective of observational drawing and painting.<br /><br />Tom, thanks. I often forget to make the eyes smaller. One caricaturist friend said that the first thing he thinks about is which features to make smaller, not which ones to make bigger.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-62144533402940460732016-02-02T23:42:31.434-05:002016-02-02T23:42:31.434-05:00It doesn't have to look like them, it just has...It doesn't have to look like them, it just has to be a good drawing.MoStarkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750403569164418156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-82164209466556233102016-02-02T18:36:25.915-05:002016-02-02T18:36:25.915-05:00there is something interesting i noticed, you have...there is something interesting i noticed, you have done something with the letters, there are a few that are identical. the s's in sam and spanish, and the m's in sam and main. do tell...Bartlebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901706130049630086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-90461390166137428562016-02-02T17:36:26.088-05:002016-02-02T17:36:26.088-05:00"Turning friends into...etc."

I suppose this is an example of the blend of imagination and realism you alluded to in a recent post or comment? <br /><br />I've done this before, without initially planning to. It can be a great way to turn a sketch that isn't working out into pure play. <br /><br />Do you think there's enough material here to write a sequel to Imaginative Realism?Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834827478598126093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-58446177519685628952016-02-02T10:13:05.108-05:002016-02-02T10:13:05.108-05:00Great character study.
