digital caricature of Mr Bean

thumbnail sketches of Mr Bean
I have failed many times in sketching a good caricature of Mr Bean - Rowan Atkinson.
This round, I really sit down and did a couple of thumbnail sketches in pencil to really study his face, to prpeare for another Caricature Workshop round the corner.

Here comes the exciting part. I always like to paint from this stage till final, and I can spend hours and hours on it.

The client wanted the customers to look beautiful, or as it is , and not exaggerated/distorted caricatures which they got previously (from another caricaturist... that's what they told me)

Initially, I thought I will be drawing on A4 size paper, when the client liaised with me via email.
Pretty surprised when I saw this little size of cardboard they passed to me. Even smaller than A5 size. I quickly get myself adjusted to this little size which I seldom work with.

The wife (which I have sketched earlier on) saw her hubby's caricature, and loves it. I sketched another one for her to make it a pair.:)

Another model!

# P/S: Met a couple which I have sketched them in the Bvlgari gig 2 years ago.
They recognised me. Wow.... so touched, and I remember their faces, which is quite rare to me:D
Even though I draw faces, I am very bad at remembering faces......

A caricature of my old friend's (Wilfred's) mum.

And I finally have the time to do one for her.

She dropped me an email:-
"Many thanks, Jit Leong!!
You sure make my day!!!!
How can I thank you!!!! "

Caricature live sketching @ UOB Finance Division

An hour , but extended for another 15 minutes' gig (11:50am - 1:05pm).
This client is leaving the company, and her colleagues asked for something special as a farewell gift from her.
She engaged my service to do live sketching at her office in Far Eastern Bank Building during their lunch time. Her colleagues don't know about it beforehand. They were only told to have their hair styled and dressed nicely.....
