Caricature theme - wedding in winter sonata

Client's brief:-
"Due to wedding budget constraints, we thought of not doing the caricature but as a surprise i would like to give it to my fiance as his Valentine's Day gift and also before our wedding day so this has to be completed preferably by early Feb.

Background:
Winter sonata pictures (attached) - to use the same background with two rows of trees and snow because this was the place where he proposed to me.
Please have the overall background in very light tinges of pink so it has a pink and white theme.
On the bottom right of the page to have a cute monkey and a cute bunny probably approximately 2-3 inches height on the A3 page but its to your discretion. Monkey represents me as that is my animal year and Bunny to represent him as that's his animal year.

Caricature live sketching for Biotherm Roadshow, Loreal

A 6-hour event (12pm - 6pm) for Biotherm Roadshow outside Tang Plaza, Orchard Road.

I am mentally prepared that it will be a non-stop drawing, given that the caricatures will be given to the public for free.

It wasn't that case, in fact.
Perhaps due to the hot weather today, or the passersby tend to shy away from roadshows (from my 2.5 years of busking in Orchard Road)

The product showcased - Biotherm Aquasource.




This will be my workplace for this afternoon.


I was told to include their product - Biotherm Aquasource in every caricature.
Paper supplied by the client with the logo printed on every piece of drawing paper.


The host - Henry.


The manager (?! )





The ink was not completely dried, and smudged when I inserted it into the plastic bag.

Thus, another one for her. A happier caricature for her.


My client.:)



This was a good one. He and his daughter (above) were happy with the outcome too.



I like this too.


This was my favourite caricature done in this event.
The paper provided was a bit 'oily'. Normal felt-tip pen cannot go on it easily.
I used my brush and fountain pen instead.
However, to my surprise, the ink dried up pretty fast. Thus, the strokes appeared dry.
I use the dry brush style for her caricature. Quite satisfied with this im⋅promp⋅tu approach.


This was a good one to me too, as she gave me a big smile. Happy face, happy caricature.




Me in action. Was requested by the client to wear blue and/or white today, to go with their colour scheme.
See the way I bent like a prawn. Drawing with the paper on my lap. Didn't expect the table was this height. Reminded me days of busking......




Last one, and called it a day.:)

Caricature on poker card - King of Hearts

An oversea order from Texas, United States.
The brief:-
"I was on your website and saw the queen of hearts caricature you designed for one of your customers. I am interested in getting the same thing ......a king of hearts with my fathers face. I want these for a tattoo..."


Was debating with myself, whether I should make the line bolder for the caricature part.
In the end, I dropped that idea, knowing it may end up losing the resemblance, as he doesn't have a unique feature.

Caricature for Lintec SIngapore Pte Ltd

Client's brief:-
"Dear Jit,

Hi there! I had recently ordered a caricature for a senior manager, Mr Lee who just retired and we all loved it, thanks! I have a new order again and this time will be for our Japanese Boss’ 60th Birthday. It seems that 60th is a very auspicious birthday in Japan so we hope you can come up with something Uniquely Singaporean for him.

We would like to place the order for:-
* 1 x Caricature with his full body and theme background, all in colour in A3 size
* Proposed brown frame accepted

Would like 3 MUST DRAW items which is 1) our boss riding a Trishaw (sample attached) and 2) some Samsui Women (Hong Tou Jing) and 3) A Tiger feature to symbolize himself (born in Tiger Year) and a figure 60 or 60th Birthday written somewhere suitable. Other complimenting old Singapore Icons can be added in. You can use as a background, the Singapore River, Streets or Warehouses along Clarke Quay or anywhere that looks like OLD Singapore. Reason being my MD is Japanese and has been in Singapore for almost 20years. He is very fond of the old Singapore look, lifestyle and especially pictures/paintings of OLD Singapore."

Caricature theme - super multi-tasker

Client's brief:-
"For the theme, can we do like a super multi-tasker? lots of hands, legs, and moving very quickly. Table piled with documents, Laptop by the side, phone ringing. Coz that's who she is - always busy and multi-tasking."

Caricature theme - wedding

Client's brief:-
"I am interested to get a caricature drawn for my bro and sis-in-law as their belated wedding present. (Caricature in colour marker with theme - with background & body)

Must have:
1) their names - James & Yujun on it...
2) their date of marriage - 13th December 2009...
3) My brother is a RSAF regular (rank: captain) therefore I would like to have him drawn in his No. 1 uniform holding his peak cap and sword at his side as seen in the photo attached...
4) Good to let the bride has a bouquet of flowers too..."

Caricature theme - traditional Chinese wedding

This client wanted a similar design .

Caricature live sketching for birthday party

A 2-hour event (6:30pm - 8:30pm) at Hilton Hotel, Ballroom on the 24th floor.
It was a birthday party for the son and daughter of the client. Their birthdays were not on the same day though.


The birthday boy. Nothing to do, and his friends were not here yet. Only entertainment he can find was to get his caricature done first.



He said he looked like an uncle. Hahaha.......


The family members like their 'Gong Gong' caricature.


I like this most! This should be the best caricature done for this evening, I think.


The birthday girl.



The client. He said he looked better than his caricature...... Do you think so too?


This was a close one.



It was a breeze in sketching this boy. How can I missed out his many unique features - thick eyebrows, small eyes, big nose, thin lips, short chin, pointed ears? All this made up his caricature.:)





This was a happy one. Happy lady! Happy caricature!


She was laughing away when I did the pencil sketch.
She said very comical, and can tell it looked like her.
This made me more daring in pushing it further.


This was a good one too, to me. I gave him a full body caricature to end this event.


Satisfaction!.....just looking at some of my artworks for this evening.
