The event organiser told me that I have some potential guests to get ready for their caricatures to be drawn by me.
As soon as I put up the queue list, half of the paper was filled. They even crowded around to wait for their turn. These could be those potential guests as mentioned by the organiser.

Since they are waiting and I have nothing to do, I might as well start sketching slightly earlier than the engaged time.

I was pretty satisfied with the caricatures drawn this evening. Thanks to the subjects, and I was in a good mood.:D

digital caricature study of Liv Tyler

digital caricature study of Liv Tyler - 1
Meant to be a study of her face, but I went further, by painting it.
(Usually I just do sketch studies.)
It is fun to use colours (instead of lines) to sculpture out her face.
