Backyard Sweet 16

Event #3 of the day: My last party on Saturday was truly a sweet 16. The young lady's parents turned their yard into a party room, and their back deck into a dance floor with lights and a DJ! 
I arrived just before dark and drew the birthday girl first, in color:
Then I got started on ALL 30 of her friends:
Party rockers in the house tonight!
Here's the nice tent they'd set up for me:
And my view as I drove home after a very busy day!

  1. your live caricatures are perfect. I admire your confident style. How much time do you spend to draw all 30 caricatures?

  2. Thank you Gianmaria! It took me about two hours, give or take a few minutes. Confidence with the pen comes from drawing many thousands of faces over the years. ;-)
