Q: Is there anything you won't draw?

And I'll use my own judgment as to if I think what you want is acceptable.

|
Q: What size is the paper you use?
A: I'll use paper that is 80 pound (stiff paper used in business cards) and the size is
11"x14". That should be easy enough to frame.
|
|
|
Q: What kind of pictures should I send?
A: Any good face shot of the person (people) being drawn. Many times a school portrait is good, or a well lit snapshot of a head and shoulders. Here's a question for you: Do you think the photo looks like the person to be drawn? For example Is the lighting such that the blonde girl looks like a brunette in the photo? If you don't think the photo looks like the person, you're not going to think the caricature looks like the person.

Q: So... is THIS a good photo?
A: Answer
|
|
|
Q: Are you a 'mean' caricaturist?
A: I try not to be. The goal of caricature is not to make the person ugly, but to make them into cartoons, to make them look funny - not ugly. Babies, kids,
girls and women I tend to make look "cute", guys are the ones that I usually work over to make look
goofy, but not ugly.
|
|
|
Q: How long will this take?
A: Give me about three weeks from the time you send it to the time you get the caricature back.
|
|
|
Q: How do I get the
caricature?
A: I'll mail the caricature back with your original photos using U.S. priority mail (2-3 day). It will come in a mailing tube with the caricature and the photos.
|
|
|
Q: What materials will you
use to draw the caricature?
A: I use a black colored pencil for the detail work and a very fat black
lead for the not-so-fine work, neither of which erase, so they don't smear very easily, either. If you want the caricature colored,
I'll use an airbrush to color it.
|
|
|
Q: Can I pay you when I get the drawing?
A: I ask for the money when you send me the pictures, please. That way I am guaranteed payment for my work.
|
|
|
Q: So how do I know you won't rip me off and cash my check without doing a drawing?
A: Truthfully, you don't know. But I do not cash your check until after I've finished your drawing and mailed it to you. And if for some reason I feel that I can't do your drawing, I'll send back the photos and the uncashed check to you.
