Had a great time drawing
Manga-style caricatures at the
15th Annual Downtown Naples New Year’s Art Fair earlier this month, and finally got around going through the batch of photos taken by
Cuti (my super talented photographer from Chicago).
Patiently waiting in line.
I was pleasantly surprised by family members that drove from the East Coast to check out my caricature booth on the first day of the Art Fair.
"Yaay finally my turn!"
"I want to be a
Ninja Mermaid!"
Let's get started.
While I had tons of pens and tools at my disposal, I ended drawing most caricatures with my reliable
Sakura Pigma Sensei 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm pens.
Oh boy! the tail scales always take quite a bit of time to render.
Almost done. So that's the view looking over my shoulder. The
Kanji on the back of my lab coat reads "Dragon" in
Chinese.
Good thing I left enough room for writing the name in bubble letters at the end.
Starting work on the the
Fairy Mermaid request.
Couple of satisfied customers.
It was a great experience. Thanks again
Cuti for taking these great pictures, for I seldom get the chance to photograph the drawing process and the finished caricatures at similar events.

Congratulations. You are making some valuable contributions to the community.
haha, looks like it was a fun time for all. Good to see you looking so happy, Alberto. Mayhap the drawing bug might bite the young'uns too? :)
Thanks guys! the young'uns were bitten long ago and already draw quite a bit. I do find that cartoon portraits are quite the effective tool in grabbing the attention and hopefully spark interest in the arts with students of all ages.
