Family Caricatures

FAMILY CARICATURES FROM www.DrawMe.com.au

Family caricatures...simply awesome!  Order your very own at http://www.drawme.com.au.

This highly detailed piece was produced for a family who love their music.  Each family member plays their own instrument and together they make a wonderful band.

Each caricature I produce is unique and fully customised to the requirements of each client.  It was an absolute pleasure to be able to deliver this exquisite piece to the customer...he absolutely loved it.

The customer contacted me with the following:

"I would like to get a group character drawing for my wife's birthday. We have 3 girls so there will be 5 people in all. She likes music so i was thinking of a band setting ( 1 singer, 2 guitar, 1 keyboard and 1 drums)... Please advise if this is possible and what I need to do next."

Of course, anything is possible so after a couple of e-mails the caricature was underway.

When producing a piece like this I like to have good quality photos to work from.  The photos do not need to show the whole family in one photo; in fact it is best if individual photos are sent.

Next...expression.  One of the most important factors is to get a good expression in the photo.  Capture their personality in the image if you can.  This then translates really well to the final artwork.

Once you have the photos and an idea of what you require you just need to let me know what you are thinking of.  Write everything down in an e-mail and read through it to make sure you list what you want.

From there I will begin a simple layout of how things will fit together.  Sometimes I will make suggestions and other times the client may leave it totally up to me to decide.

Whatever you want it can be drawn!

A family caricature is a great way to celebrate your life together.  It's a fun way to remember how you all looked at the time.  

The final artwork can be produced on any medium you require although the framed caricatures are extremely popular because they look so stunning.  Another option is the mounted print which is scratch and UV protected.

After the artwork has been hand drawn (that's right....no photo manipulations or scans!) it is sent to a professional lab for an exhibition quality finish.  Your completed artwork will last for generations.  Just imagine your great grandchildren admiring your family caricature in years to come.

So, order your very own unique and fully customised family caricature today.  When your friends come over for dinner it will be the talk of the evening!

The Hunger Games Caricature

The Hunger Games has been a massive hit and so was this Hunger Games style caricature for one of my recent clients. Order your caricature here: http://www.drawme.com.au

She asked for something to reflect The Hunger Games and I obliged with this stunning caricature.

In order to research the caricature I went to see the film a couple of weeks ago. The client also provided some detailed requirements:

My Fiance, Alvin, is currently obsessed with the Hunger Games Books and Movie (I'm not sure if you're familiar with it. But it's the new box office hit and literary craze), so I thought it would a great gift idea to give him a "Hunger Games" themed caricature for our anniversary (6 April).

Attached is his photo. I couldn't seem to find a photo of just him where he was fully facing forward. I hope this photo will suffice.

I had two ideas for the caricature background/theme:

1. Similar to the movie poster where he is a caricature of one of the movie characters - Dressed in army green cargo pants, a black t-shirt and black combat boots in an area full of people, with a flaming mockingjay in the background (Please refer to Hunger Games Poster pic attached). The photo I attached is quite detailed with the pictures of the main characters on flags - you could dispense with these details. I'd prefer to keep it simple anyway -Have Alvin's caricature in the foreground, a crowd on the side and the mockingjay in the background. His eyes are brown.

OR

2. Forest background - Dressed in army green cargo pants, a black t-shirt and combat boots (Please refer to pic attached). However, I want him to have a mockingjay pinned on the left breast of his shirt (pic with the details of the mockingjay attached for reference) or a mockingjay in the background. His Eyes are brown.

In either instance, the inclusion of the mockingjay will make the Hunger Games theme evident. I don't mind either one. I'll leave it up to your expertise to determine which is best.

FEEDBACK:

Hi Patrick,

I just wanted to say thank you for the phenomenal caricature! My Fiance loved it and was really impressed with the detail of the drawing.

Many thanks,

Chelo

Roller Coaster Fun

This roller coaster caricature was created to celebrate the 50th birthday of the lady...an acknowledgement of life's ups and downs and how much fun it can be along the way.

When they first sent through their photos the expressions were not good enough...plain smiles. I advised that if on a roller coaster then their expressions would be a lot more dramatic. The second set were excellent and I think you will agree that the expressions really make this caricature come alive.

Wedding Caricature - Save The Date

Wedding caricatures are always a favourite and I often get asked to create 'Save the Date' cards.

The caricature you see here was created for a couple who wanted Save the Date cards...the message in the banner was actually changed before uploading here but it included the main dates and a message from the couple.

The theme they chose was a Mexican wedding theme, hence the sombrero, poncho and other mexican references.

Framed Caricatures

The framed caricatures are extremely popular and it is easy to see why.

First of all, the caricature is produced to very high standards with amazing likeness to the person.

Next, the artwork is produced onto archival exhibition quality paper designed to last for over 75 years.

Then the print is carefully mounted in a professional quality frame to give an exceptional finish.

The caricature featured on the left was for one of my many corporate customers.

Thunderbirds are go

I was recently asked to create a Thunderbirds style caricature for a client. Hope you like the result.

This is the second caricature I have created for FSCS. The previous artwork was based on a superhero theme.
