This is the first family cartoon anyone’s asked me for. I was a bit nervous about how to draw the baby, and not end up with just a generic cartoon baby. The sketches were approved though so I hopefully got the features right. I like the layout of this one.
This dude obviously likes to rock. Was asked to draw him with a guitar.
The setting here is supposed to be a nightclub*. Rather than have a load of distracting detail drowning out the main picture (plus out of laziness), I just did vague shapes in the background to “suggest” a club.
There’s a possibility this is a bit retro because to be honest I don’t know what the inside of one of those places looks like any more. For all I know these days the walls are covered in HD screens showing Facebook pages, and you text in your drink orders. And go to the jacks via Sat Nav. Drawing came out nice though, I think.
* or should that be ‘Niteclub’ maybe? Somebody book me into a home please. I think it’s time.
Last-day-in-the-job present. I moved the drawing to the left to leave space for well-wishers and admirers to sign it.
Wedding season at the moment. Here’s a happy couple I drew last week (Wedding is today I think).
I must find out what people actually do with these caricatures in relation to their wedding. Most couples ask for them to be ready in advance of the big day rather than afterwards. Do they display them at the reception maybe? I know at least one pic I did was on the top table during the meal, which was nice.

Ronan and Naomi (Hair colour different to reference photos by request, not due to me being colour-blind).

I sent a request around among friends saying I wanted to do an example of a “Beach Pose” caricature for this site. Big “Thank You” to Milly, who volunteered …
Had to fit a lot into this - football, video games, shopping bags and a sexy dress. Came out well though in the end, I think.
