My family portraits and caricatures

It was my 10th wedding anniversary yesterday.
Can't think of any presents for my wife.
Done up this family portraits for her instead, as I think it is time to do one, given that I have not done so since my daughter was born.

Pencil sketch.


Wetting the paper with some basic tone here and there.


Showing up....


More contrast added in.....


Done. Took me 2 days to complete.

A summary of what I have done previously:-

This was done in May 1996, from an instant Polaroid photo taken in Clarke Quay.
This became one of the most popular theme among my customers at that time.


This one was done in Feb 1997 for our ROM. The background were made up of all our favourite cartoon characters. Flipping through the many comics books and dig out the best looking one, was a tedious job.

This was an digital portrait illustration done in June 2002, using Photoshop and Painter.

My son was about 1 year old at that time.

Photo was taken on Father's Day.
