digital live caricature on HTC Flyer for Nanyang Technological University (NTU) D&D

Another gig on HTC Flyer for HTC (sponsor for this D&D).
Looks like I am getting a hang of drawing on this Android tablet after the last few digital gigs.
Venue is Park Royal Hotel @ Beach Road, 6:30pm - 9:30pm.

Some videos of me in action with HTC Flyers....









An email from the client (NTU):-
"Dear Mr Chong

digital live caricature on HTC Flyer for HTC, Starhub, SIS Technologies Get-Together Session

A 2-hour digital gig (8pm - 10pm) on HTC Flyer at Paulaner Bräuhaus, Singapore.
Pretty bunch of challenges this evening, as compared to my usual gigs.
First, dim lighting.
Second, no wifi available. I've got to use my iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot for the upload and download of the digital caricatures for printing (no wifi printer too).
Third, I have to do roving caricatures.
And I only got to realize these challenges upon my arrival on site.
Anyway, I have encountered several such situations in my past 17 years as event caricaturist. It's just a matter of getting used to the environment (for first and third challenges) and being well-equiped (for second challenge).

Let's get the ball start rolling....

One more sketch of him, without sunglasses this evening.




A side profile sketch of this gentleman, since he's chatting with his friends.








One more sketch of this lady.








She told me that she's fascinated by my sketch on HTC Flyer, and wanted to get one of herself done.


A glimpse of my setup:- Macbook Pro, HTC Flyer and Can CP800 digital photo printer.


The 4R printout with the template of the 3 corporate logos (HTC, Starhub, SIS Technologies) prepared beforehand.






Printing the last few digital caricatures out, and my job is done for the day.

digital caricature live sketching on HTC Flyer for HTC Weekend - Day 2

Day 2, same venue and timing (12pm - 2pm & 5pm - 7pm).











Added in some pencil shades on the pen and marker sketch here.






I started to get a better hang of sketching on this HTC Flyer now. My lines are more free and loose now.:)




This is a fun one!


I like this too, especially the marker strokes on his goatie and shirt. There's so much feeling looking at them!


The event organiser who engaged my service. He has a pencil version yesterday, and felt that the pen and marker version looked better. And thus his second attempt.




Doesn't she look like a doll?:D


The very helpful IT guy from HTC who helped me to solve all the wifi printing issue on this HTC Flyer.






The IT guy filmed me in action.

One of my favourite digital caricature done today.



I began to love these lines. Didn't expect I can draw such style within the limitations initially. I think I just need to more time explore and experiment with the style for different gadgets. It's exciting to see a new drawing style created within limitations.





More marker strokes used.


















A happy one!




This was a quick and good one, I think.




Smiley subject is always a joy to sketch!














This gentleman wanted a snapshot of his digital caricature on HTC Flyer, the printout and me.

The client dropped me an email:-
"Hi Jit,
..... thank you very much for the great pieces of beautifully
drawn portraits of all of us. And as well as the patience and
participations in our HTC Weekend.
Obviously all of us are very happy with your artwork and we look forward to
visit your shop one of these days."
