This was a bat-mitzvah at Hackney’s in Glencoe. I drew thirty-five teenagers in three hours. That’s a clipping pace, which was made possible by the mom’s excellent organization of the event and her decision to go with black-and-white drawings. When the host’s emphasis is on getting the most people drawn, b/w is the logical choice. Notice, also, that the bodies are not in activities, which also take extra time to draw. But what I did get into the drawing is attitude, don’t you agree. Attitude is so important in a caricature! Especially with kids, where I really don’t do sarcasm. That would be psychologically risky for young people, I think, and I’m not there to poke them into self-doubt. (Save that for adults, hmmm.)
Thank you, Keri!
