Hilton Woburn, MA - Staff Holiday Event


I like drawing group shots. It makes caricaturing
easier. How, you ask?

Contrast.

An apple looks red until you hold it up
next to a stop sign. Then it looks purple.
It's the same with faces.

When you compare one face to another,
it's like a helpful guide - a tool you can use - that
helps you to see how to draw each individual face.

When I start drawing a group, my thoughts sound like this:

"Oh, the guy on the left has eyes that are kind of spread
apart, compared to the guy in the middle whose eyes
look like dots..."

Etc.

I've drawn at the Hilton's staff holiday event for over 12 years!
Great bunch of folks.

NEW: I have enabled comments, so I'd love to hear
your thoughts...Thanks!
