digital caricature of wedding couple - light wash

Client's brief:-
"The theme is 'Our Wedding'. I have copied some sample photos from your blogsite as reference. Please note the attachment.


In Zip file "caricature_puzzle_with_frame.zip", 2 pictures:
=> 1a.jpg - this is roughly how we wish the picture to look like, simple with us in wedding attire & no back ground required.
=> caricature_puzzle_with_frame.jpg - we like the style of this Jacky Cheong puzzle. We hope our caricature picture can be done in such way."

wedding couple digital caricatures in light wash
That Jacky Cheung caricatrue was one of my earliest digital caricatures done about 12-13 years ago.
My style and skill would not be the same after these years, and I don't think I can draw inthat style again.:D
This wedding caricature is a more refined style which I am using currently.


A video of how their wedding caricatures are done, for this couple.

Feedback from the client via email:-
"Dear Jit,


We love the caricature work. It is very well done. Bravo!!
.....Thanks.. it looks fantastic.


Sincerely,
Steven Lee"

Mr Bean digital caricature painting printed on canvas

Mr Bean digital caricature painting printed on canvas
I just got this digital caricature painting of Mr Bean, printed on a stretched canvas, as a sample from my supplier.(It is 75 years guarantee fade resistant, and of course waterproof too.)
I have to say it looks really awesome. I love it!
Very different from printed on paper.
It has the artistic touch to it.
Size is 53cm x 47 cm, about 21inches x 18.5 inches.Pretty huge when placed next to my A3 size caricature.

Caricature for Hewlett Packard(HP)

Client's brief:-
"As we spoke earlier on the phone, we planned to present the caricature in frame for our Vice President by next Wednesday, September 29 at the dinner.
We would like to have the caricature in color marker with theme - with background and body.


Attached lists the picture of him - Loo Seng Tak. He is leaving HP after 25 years service for greener pasture and this gift is from his Direct Staff from United States and Singapore to wish him well. Are we able to have all his direct Staff to sign at the boarder somehow so he has something with our names on it to remember us by? Let me know if you could provide us the service which is certainly express and the quotation for this request.
Thank you!.....


I would like to confirm the following:-
1. caricature in colour marker with theme with background and body.
a. HP building and with him playing golf (his hobby) - I will send you the picture of HP building later.
b. Mr Loo is of the big size frame so take note for the body size.
2. requested a frame for caricature at SGD$90
3. His HP title is Vice President of IPG World Wide Sourcing and has worked in HP for 25 years."

Caricature live sketching for Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) F1 2010 Party

A 2 hour gig (7:15pm - 9:15pm) at 28th floor, Raffles City Tower, where you can have a good view of  the Formula One (F1) Race. This was why EDB held their F1 party here too. I wasn't in the mood though, as I was having a very bad flu and cough since 2 days ago, but especially bad today.
However, being professional, I have to do a good job for this gig too.Surprisingly, I can draw 20 guests in 2 hours {with quality of course:)))}, despite the bad flu.
