Jason asked me to draw a caricature of him, so I tried a few variations.
Version 1:
Version2:
Version3:
Ariel was a very nice and patient model (even though I was totally busted, she sat very still while I drew.) She said that Jason's drawing was "more flattering," he hee.

Pow WOW!!! II - The Sequel

Who says the sequel never lives up to the original?
Pow-Wow!!! II - The Sequel was as much fun as the original. We looked at some great caricatures by Jan Op de Beeck, talked shop, and drew.
Here are some of the sketches:

This guy did not realize that I had the luxury of time, and patience... I could wait for him to come out from behind his newspaper.
