This will be a series of 4-Saturdays event at Costa Sands Beach, from 4:30pm - 6:30pm.
This client found me through my blog, and decided to engage my services after making some equiries with other caricaturists. (that was what she told me) Thank you.:)
This is more like a fringe activities for those people in this resort.
Public pays $5 each and NTUC member pays $3 each. (more than 90% discount from my normal rate, if drawn from photo, and non-express service)
Obviously, the client is not looking to make money from the guests/patrons, given the rate Iquoted to them.
When it is not free to the public, the response is more or less muted.
To improve on this, I think certain things need to be done.
First, is the publicity. This is very important. Not many of them are aware of this activity, in this case.
Second is timing. A hot afternoon whereby the kids and parents etc are either enjoying in the pool, or stay in their air-conditioned chalets, may not be a good timing for them to sit down and get their caricatures drawn.
Lastly is the location where the caricaturist sits. The lobby could be the ideal place where everyone first see, when they check in. However, due to the hot weather, it would sort of deter them from sitting down.
Anyway, back to this event.
This is the lovely lady who engaged my service.
She told me that she saw me on The New Paper.
I was wondering how she knows that person on the paper was me (and I haven't post that article on my blog), when we have never met before. Maybe she followed my blog, and saw my photo before.
Thank you for her guiding me the way to the resort.
Initially, I thought it was a place near the Wild Wild Wet pool in Downtown East, where my car was stucked in the long queue before the traffic junction for 15 minutes.
After I couldn't find a parking lot at the open air carpark opposite Downtown East, I nearly park my car at the housing estate nearby.
Luckily I managed to get her at her mobile, and she guided me the way to the resort.
How blur can I be?
When I reached the place, I still thought that I have been to this place. Pool in front of chalets, not noticing that the Jacuzzi was not there. I mistaken it as the Aloha Resort and I parked my car near the same place which I parked at Aloha last December!
How embarassed can it be, when I still asked her why this round not at the air-conditioned game room which I used to sketch at? Can dig a hole and bury my head in it........
Mother.....
son......
...and daughter from Indonesia.
Couple caricatures always attract crowd. Never failed in my 15 years of drawing.
This was a good attempt, I think.
Kids (especailly the younger ones) are always harder to draw, as they can't keep still, and expressions keep changing.
This round, I was quite lucky, even though the same thing happens again.
Since he was in swimming suit, not much appropriate posture for him too, might as well give him a swimming theme.
Since his brother has a swimming theme, I shall not disappoint him.
Added the same theme for him.
Anyway, this was the last drawing for the day.
