<h1>Just Announced: Artist Secrets Exposed</h1>
<h2>How Two Artists Made Over $5 Million<br />
  Working From Home Selling Art</h2>
<p>Today March 25 2009, Learn To Draw is proud to announce the most anticipated<br />
  event of the year, the soon to be released &quot;Artist Secrets Exposed&quot;.</p>
<p>Artist&#8217;s Greg Gillespie and Graeme Biddle have decided to reveal all of their<br />
  best kept trade secrets, on how they have managed to capitalize on their art<br />
  skills and amass personal fortunes of over $5 million dollars. They have decided<br />
  to release their secrets in the hope that others may learn how to profit from<br />
  their own art talents, and make a good living doing something that is fun and<br />
  easy to do.</p>
<p>If you have ever wondered just how to go about making money from your art<br />
  skills, then this ebook should prove a very interesting read. If you are able<br />
  to tick any of the following boxes then you should find this book a very profitable<br />
  read indeed.</p>
<p><H2>Are You:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Wondering how to make money from your art, working from home?</li>
<li>Keen to make some extra income for the family that won&#8217;t take you away<br />
    from them?</li>
<li>Recently retrenched or made redundant and the prospect of another job is<br />
    rather dim?</li>
<li>Still employed, (for now) and wondering how to get a start in your own<br />
    business?</li>
<li>Have enough skill to hold a brush and are wondering if this is all it takes<br />
    to make some money?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answered yes to one or more of the above then you need to reserve your<br />
  copy of &quot;Artist Secrets Exposed&quot;. Numbers are limited.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/images/ArtistSecretsExposed_book.jpg" alt="artist secrets exposed" width="308" height="406">Graeme and Greg are going to outline their exact tactics for sizing up a market<br />
  via failsafe research on what is currently being bought &#8211; not just what people<br />
  are trying to sell, preparing sample jobs, prospecting for business, creating<br />
  the repeat customer with ease, explore over a dozen different ways of making<br />
  money with art that are so easy that it&#8217;s like child&#8217;s play. No really, some<br />
  of their techniques really are child&#8217;s play and there is no reason that anybody<br />
  with the slightest ability to hold a brush could not profit from their great<br />
  ideas for creating art and selling it to a hungry public.</p>
<p>This is not a how guide of all the regular rehashed ideas you could find in<br />
  any old community art school, no way. This is art from home in the age of the<br />
  Internet, and along with ability to take advantage of these modern wonders<br />
  comes their unique way of connecting with like minded folks to help foster<br />
  a culture and community that will encourage even the most remote of people<br />
  across the globe.</p>
<h2>More Than Just A Book</h2>
<p>Graeme and Greg have a lot of things planned to help make this a reality for<br />
  those who are keen to copy their success. Later in the year in partnership<br />
  with Learn To Draw, they will be releasing their Home Art Business course that<br />
  will take keen students to the next level via extensive video tutorials and<br />
  exact step by step instructions. Included will be easy to follow templates<br />
  that take the guess work out of the equation. Students will be given every<br />
  assistance to build their very own home based art business. Students who show<br />
  promise will be invited to join the personal mentoring program in the area<br />
  of their choice. This will be the ultimate hands on personal tuition that will<br />
  prove invaluable to those lucky few who rise up through the ranks to launch<br />
  themselves onto the world stage as artists in their own right.</p>
<p>Many things are going to come together fast for the keen to learn amongst<br />
  us and we are set to hand over the keys to the kingdom for anyone willing to<br />
  get their hands covered in paint with the prospect of turning art materials<br />
  into cash.</p>
<p>Please let us know your interest by poping your first name and email on this<br />
form below. For those who act quickly, there will be great rewards!</p>

<h1>Part 2 </h1>
<p>If you missed part one you can find it <a href="http://www.bradfitzpatrick.com/weblog/1838/how-to-profit-from-drawing-caricatures-that-people-pay-for-over-and-over/" target="_blank">here.</a></p>
<p>Before we go any further you may remember I mentioned a master artist by the<br />
  name of Graeme Biddle in part one. If you are looking to get the inside skinny<br />
  on how to learn the slick art of caricaturing, Graeme is just the man to teach<br />
  you.</p>
<p>Graeme runs a home study course that goes over 21 days and is based on his<br />
  video instructions in a step by step fashion. He reveals all his tricks of<br />
  the trade he has amassed over his 30 years in the profession. If you are keen<br />
  to learn how to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Draw caricatures quickly and easily to make some extra cash
</li>
<li>Learn the art of the repeat caricature
</li>
<li>Become skilled in the upsell from the $20 caricature to the $1200 model
</li>
<li>Discover a secret source of caricature that never dries up</li>
</ol>
<p>then you should check this guy out.</p>
<p>It is very affordable and is guaranteed with a full 60 day money back policy<br />
  that is second to none, I personally know people who have given it a try and<br />
  found it to be an awesome resource. But hey I am digressing a little here,<br />
  you probably already know how to draw caricatues perfectly well and know these<br />
  things anyway, but for those who don&#8217;t I can show you where to find this gem<br />
  of a course at the end of our lesson. </p>
<p>Lets get back to assuming you have all<br />
  your caricatures together and you want to know how to attract all the traffic<br />
  you are going to need to make a good chunk of sales.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caricatures-uk.com/gallery.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/images/web_cari_example.gif" alt="example site" width="250" height="246" /></a> Here<br />
  is an example of what a site could look like, that is going to do very well<br />
  selling caricatures of celebs, in fact this guy does exactly that and has been<br />
  doing it for a long time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caricatures-uk.com/gallery.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.caricatures-uk.com/images/c_7_pounds.jpg" alt="caricature example website" width="183" height="250" /></a> http://www.caricatures-uk.com/gallery.html</p>
<p>He sells his artwork of famous people over and over and over again, by selling<br />
  limited edition posters for $20 and $40 dollar a piece (Â£15 and Â£30 if you<br />
  are in England). Now I don&#8217;t have a clue how well this guy does but by the<br />
  look of his work, I would imagine very well indeed. I found this site by Googling<br />
  &quot;celebrity caricatures&quot; but I didn&#8217;t get there directly, I had to<br />
  come by another site to finally find this guy. Why is that you may ask, as<br />
  surely someone this good should be at the top of Google right? </p>
<p>Well no. But his link page or link site was and that makes all the difference<br />
  in traffic. Having a feeder site to do your fishing and then bring in the big<br />
  fish in a true &quot;two step&quot; fashion is how it works. How do you learn these tricks<br />
  of getting traffic to your site?</p>
<p>There are two ways, one the long and hard road to success or secondly the<br />
  pathway that offers some leverage or assistance to get there. I have travelled<br />
  both these paths as an artist trying to find ways to get traffic to my site<br />
  and I can tell you the second option is preferred if you want to make things<br />
  happen quickly.</p>
<h2>How To Build Your Site &#8211; Who To Choose?</h2>
<p>The people I recommend you use are a group that would have to be the most<br />
  professional and reliable mob to choose to make the task of setting up your<br />
  website and driving the targeted traffic that you need, is a group called Site<br />
  Build It (SBI). You don&#8217;t need to know html, or be a geek or possess any degree<br />
  in computer programming. All their templates are easy to customie to your own<br />
  look&#8217;n'feel as they say and they take you through the whole process step by<br />
  step at a pace you can easily understand. And all importantly, afford.</p>
<p>Many site creation tools out there are nothing more than &quot;hosting bait&quot; to<br />
  get you in on a cheap web hosting package, only to wash you up big time when<br />
  they start to charge you for extra traffic. The $4.95 hosting with a free website<br />
  deal sounds too good to refuse for many but if you are going to be getting<br />
  any serious traffic to your site, you may find you are paying a whole lot more<br />
  than you bargained for. SBI doesn&#8217;t do this, you pay a flat monthly fee and<br />
  that is it, and they guarantee that you will be in the top 1% of all websites<br />
  for your chosen keywords (think audience here) or your money back. It doesn&#8217;t<br />
  get any better than that. (I just hope not too many of my high paying clients<br />
  find out about this as I will be out of a job permanently!)
</p>
<h2>How To Target Teens With Your Caricatures and How To Sell To Them</h2>
<p>There are several tools you can to get this job done but naturally I have<br />
  my favorite.</p>
<p>By the way, there is the long hard way to the top of Google or the fast easy<br />
  &quot;two step&quot; way I hinted at earlier on.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s Follow An Example:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Google
</li>
<li>Type &quot;mobile phone wallpapers&quot;
</li>
<li>Click on the third link from the top, www.mobile9.com</li>
</ol>
<p>So what do we have here hey? A mobile phone website where members can upload<br />
  and download ringtones, wallpapers, screensavers and other cool mobile stuff.</p>
<p>Do you reckon anyone comes to this site? Well, look a little closer at the<br />
  home page and you will see it currently has 3.2 million registered members!<br />
  I almost feel like I need to be putting my &quot;pinky&quot; in the corner of mouth a-la<br />
  Dr Evil style when I say that out loud. Whooa! That is a lot of potential customers,<br />
  but get this they have had 6.5 Billion downloads!!! Dr Evil&#8230;</p>
<p>Join this site like I did and get into the forum, the uploads of your cool<br />
  caricatures and start to connect with other users (esp the ones at the top<br />
  of the totem) and just watch the downloads of your cool celebrity wallpapers.<br />
  And make sure you have your profile up to date with your link to your own website,<br />
  where users can get more of your stuff. This is the secret and second part<br />
  of the &quot;two step&quot; approach to website traffic.</p>
<h2>Your Website, Now You Have Traffic, Targeted Traffic That Is!</h2>
<p>OK, so how to setup your site to make some money.</p>
<p>Follow these simple steps and you won&#8217;t go wrong.</p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure you deliver on your promises and have some more FREE wallpapers<br />
    to go</p>
</li>
<li>Ensure that you have only registered users or subscribers to your site,<br />
    allowed to download, just like on Mobile9.com</p>
</li>
<li>Then setup your auto responder email series (you know the emails that automatically<br />
    come out to you after you sign up on most sites these days) so that you have<br />
    your latest wallpapers announced to your biggest fans</p>
</li>
<li>These ones they have to pay for, once again, they trust you and have had<br />
    some good free stuff up until now and so they won&#8217;t mind paying a dollar<br />
    a month to join.</p>
</li>
<li>They then tell their friends by texting them and sharing stuff around,<br />
    and this leads back to you and more sales.</p>
</li>
<li>Get just a fraction of the 3.2 million to sign up for your caricature membership<br />
    site and you will have a solid income based on caricatures you did once and<br />
    sold over and over and over again.</li>
</ol>
<p>ie. 3,200,000 x .001 = 3,200 members each paying you $12 per year and you<br />
  have $38,000 income, and remember that is only one one hundred of a percent.<br />
  Not 10% or 1% but .1% or just one in one thousand. Now what if you could get<br />
  2 or 3 out of every one thousand visitors to their site? $76,000 or $114,000&#8230;OK<br />
  getting a little ahead of ourselves here, steady on but you get the picture<br />
  don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Summary</p>
<p>So who do you think is going to sell more celebrity caricatures, you or the<br />
  guy with the posters? I don&#8217;t know but I bet you he doesn&#8217;t have 3.2 million<br />
  registered visitors to his site, that for sure!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>My 2 Secret Source of Caricature Subjectswho Caricature Themselves</h1>
<p>Now when you are first starting out as a caricature artist, you have a need<br />
  that must be met otherwise you will surely stunt your growth.</p>
<p>Remember when your parents told you Don&#8217;t smoke it will stunt your growth!<br />
  and then you out grew them?</p>
<p>Figures hey? </p>
<p>Old wives tales are pretty much just that, old tales told by your mother or<br />
  grandmother.</p>
<p>Well this isn&#8217;t one of them.</p>
<p>Nope, no way, uh uh “ forget about it!</p>
<p>Seriously now, this one you are going to love.</p>
<h3>Imagine An Endless Stream of People, Fun People Lining Up To Have Their Caricatures<br />
  Done Pulling all Sorts of Funny Faces “ and then “ Holding Still!</h3>
<p>That&#8217;s right I have a secret supply of people of all shapes and sizes, who<br />
  are there for you to study from at least 3 different angles sometimes 4. (Big<br />
  advantage here, different angles help you to get a better 3 dimensional picture<br />
in your mind about what their face is really doing!)</p>
<p>These subjects don&#8217;t mind hamming it up for you and often show no signs of<br />
  embarrassment at pulling the seriously funny faces that you have ever seen.</p>
<p>So What is IT? A Book or eBook?</p>
<h1>No</h1>
<p>Some sort of study manual or program?</p>
<h1>Guess Again</h1>
<p>Some videos on Youtube?</p>
<h1>Uh Uh!</h1>
<p>Here it is¦</p>
<p><a href="http://photobooth.net.au/?load=html">www.photobooth.net.au</a></p>
<p><img src="http://intelligenttravel.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/02/photobooth.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="how to draw caricatures" />A website that contains thousands of peoples faces assembled in Photo Strips<br />
  that have been uploaded over many years.</p>
<p>This is an enthusiasts website where people can upload their actual photo<br />
  booth strips that have come out of those machines we see at train stations,<br />
  airports, bus terminals and in the shopping malls.</p>
<p>They scan them and upload for you to use as caricature subjects.</p>
<p>They are black and white shots, so they are perfect for getting a good look<br />
  at different types of faces and personalities.</p>
<p>We all know what it is like to ham it up a littlein a photo booth with<br />
  a boyfriend or girlfriend, so I think you will get the picture on this.</p>
<p>People distorting their faces in all sorts of ways to look a little weird.<br />
  And you know what, that is exactly what your job is as a caricaturist “ make<br />
  people look a little weird.</p>
<h1>It is true “ people laugh when you make them look a little weird!</h1>
<p>They laugh because they are seeing themselves in a different way to what they<br />
are used to. This is profoundly funny.</p>
<p>Most people think of exaggeration to the max when you mention the word caricature.<br />
  It is what is conjured up in our minds because that is what springs to mind<br />
  first without much thought.</p>
<p>Yep we are lazy and don&#8217;t want to think to much “ why? Because it hurts!</p>
<p>It hurts to think, so when given the opportunity to not think we grab it every<br />
  time. But really the ones who push the envelop so to speak are the ones who<br />
  do the thinking for us.</p>
<p>To give you another example and let you in on another trade secret that will<br />
  point you towards proving my point and plopping down in front of you another<br />
  seemingly unlimited supply of distorted faces for you to study, draw, sketch<br />
  or emulate to create your own style of caricature drawing is this¦</p>
<h1>Apple Photo booth Images</h1>
<p>Simply go to Google.com/images and type in <strong>apple photo booth</strong> and<br />
  take a browse through the results.</p>
<p>You will find all sorts of goofy shots to practise with.</p>
<p>Here are a few that I think would be good to start with:</p>

<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/cari_g_.jpg" width="458" height="355" /></p>
<h1>Here Lies The Secret “ That Most Junior Artists Miss</h1>
<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/cari_g_3.jpg" width="458" height="355" alt="caricature 3" />It is not whether I can make their nose big and call it a caricature and get<br />
  away with it, BUT it is plainly a RECOGNISEABLE rendition of the person, HOWEVER<br />
DISTORTED you want to make it.</p>
<p>Now let me say it again, it (the fundamental at play here) is how recognisable<br />
  is the drawing? Not how true to life is it (that would be a portrait “ and<br />
  there is a big difference between the two) but how much do they look like themselves<br />
  without looking like someone next to them.</p>
<p>You see, very rarely will you have that dilemma (perhaps if you are drawing<br />
  identical twins, there are trick here too) most people have subtle differences<br />
  in their features that when sitting side by side with a friend, even one that<br />
  looks similar (birds of feather, flock to¦you know what I mean) there will<br />
  be always a recognisable difference.</p>
<p>When you can identify the difference then it is time to pounce!</p>
<h1>To Round Things Up Here</h1>
<p>Have a good look at these two resources and see what you can come up with.</p>
<h1>Simple Exercise You Can Do</h1>
<p>You will need:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li>2B pencil and sharpener</li>
<li>Stacks of white copy paper</li>
<li>Artist black felt tip sign pen</li>
<li>Photo booth or strip images to print</li>
</ol>
<p>Then do the following:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong><br />
  Print the photo or photo strip on a sheet of paper</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong><br />
  Grab your 2B pencil, sharpen to a flat point, not too sharp</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong><br />
  Begin with some shape sketches, not too much detail, keep it loose.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: </strong><br />
  Repeat step 3 but his time add in some more details, you can go over old sketches<br />
    or start with fresh paper.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong><br />
  When you have done the above enough times to produce a good rough then it is<br />
    time to do finished one with your artist felt tip pen<img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/cari_g_1.jpg" width="458" height="355" alt="caricature 1" /><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/cari_g_2.jpg" width="458" height="355" alt="caricature 2" /></p>
<p>And that is it.</p>
<p>You will be able to create a nice portfolio of zany goofed up and far out<br />
  caricatures in no time.</p>
<p>NB. Remember it is not the quality of your drawing, loose or tight that matters<br />
  it is the feelingbehind it that stands out the most. You can do this, not<br />
  what skill level you currently have, it is simply and seriously fun with caricatures<br />
  that you can&#8217;t go wrong if you follow these easy steps to success!</p>
<p>End&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>

<h1 align="center">Here&#8217;s The Easy Way To Learn How To Draw Caricatures,&nbsp; <br />
  &nbsp;My Proven System And How You Can <br />
  Put It To Work For YOU.</h1>
<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>You&#8217;re about to go deep inside one of my best kept secrets of drawing caricatures,<br />
  that is going to help you learn to draw caricatures that is easy it is to create<br />
  winning caricatures, time after time.</p>
<p>Now this is not your usual rehashed how to draw caricatures stuff you see<br />
  on all the other websites, no way! What&#8217;s the point of that when it has been<br />
  done so often.</p>
<p>Here you will find my fresh and inventive ideas and exercises that set me<br />
  apart from all the other caricature websites on the web. Sure I am a little<br />
  zany and anyone who has met me will vouch for that but hey, isn&#8217;t that&#8217;s<br />
  what sets us apart from regular folks anyway?</p>
<p>We are artists and that means we have a lot to offer to other people, as once<br />
  a wise man told me, an artist is someone who solves problems for people who<br />
  cannot or at least think they can&#8217;t solve on their own &#8211; (there is a difference).</p>
<h3>Anyway On With The Show</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/step_step.jpg" alt="how to draw caricatures step by step" width="650" height="273">And<br />
  listen, this system is so easy that it doesn&#8217;t matter how well you draw right<br />
  now, because I am going to show you that <strong>even if your drawing is atrocious</strong> and<br />
  I mean really <strong>bad like stick figures</strong> you would see a child<br />
  draw, you can still knock people&#8217;s socks off with laughter when they see<br />
  your funny drawings.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>:&nbsp; This story gets ugly. Things get hairy and<br />
  people get weird when stories of making easy money start flying aroundespecially<br />
  when it&#8217;s</p>
<h2 align="center">$200 In Under One Hour</h2>
<p><strong>Actually, it&#8217;s a lot more.</strong> That&#8217;s just a rough estimate<br />
  of what you can make from drawing slick and quick caricatures with my <strong>proven<br />
  easy method on any given day.</strong> There is a trick to this and it is not<br />
  altogether obvious when you first think of your typical caricature artist.</p>
<p>Stick with me here and I will show you how it is possible to make over</p>
<h2 align="center">$1200 in Under 24 Hours</h2>
<p>But before we go any further, we need to set the record straight.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re only at the beginning of this letter and you&#8217;ve already seen some<br />
  really big numbers. And if I were you, I&#8217;d be wondering </p>
<h2 align="center">Is This A Bunch Of Hype?</h2>
<p>And you&#8217;re absolutely right to ask that question.</p>
<p>Look, if I wasn&#8217;t they guy who&#8217;s been drawing caricatures of people for<br />
  the past 30 years, and saw the looks of amazement on peoples faces when I gave<br />
  them their drawings, then I would be somewhat sceptical too. In other words<br />
  I know how you feel.</p>
<p>So let me put your mind at ease by pulling back the curtain right now and<br />
  showing you exactly what I have been doing, that makes this game so easy. </p>
<p>I am going to show you amazingly simple tricks that most other artists will<br />
  not tell you. It is in their best interest to make it sound hard, so that you<br />
  don&#8217;t get it and start doing this for yourself.</p>
<p>So</p>
<p>For the first time ever,</p>
<h1 align="center">Here&#8217;s The Back Story Behind The Easiest Trick Of<br />
  All<br />
  In The History Of Drawing.</h1>
<p>I know you&#8217;ve heard other people hint at easy tricks and exercises before<br />
  but this one is so obvious when you think about it for a moment, you will probably<br />
  want to kick yourself for not seeing it before.</p>
<p>So right now, I&#8217;m going to <strong>break it all down</strong> for you. Whether<br />
  you are wanting to draw caricatures just for fun or you want to know how to<br />
  make some extra cash, and <strong>I&#8217;ll show you exactly what you need to<br />
  do to make drawing caricatures fun and easy and if you like &#8211; profitable!</strong> </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s begin.</p>
<p>First of all, this trick has been tightly guarded for centuries and I&#8217;m<br />
  about to blow the lid right off it. All the great art masters across the centuries<br />
  did this, when they were first starting out.</p>
<p>I know what you are probably thinking right now, everyone knows that the<br />
  great masters of art across the centuries studied under the great master who<br />
  came before them “ that&#8217;s no secret! Well you are absolutely correct<br />
  that is no secret at all, everyone who&#8217;s studied the arts will know this,<br />
  that great masters of the art produced understudies, some of whom went to to<br />
  their own successful careers as artists.</p>
<p>But that is not it “ so what is this secret?</p>
<p>Are you ready?</p>
<p>Ok, so what is the one thing that makes drawing caricatures so easy that you<br />
  can start doing this straight away? Let me sum it up this waywith a question<br />
  for you</p>
<h1 align="center">Which Is Easier To Hit?</h1>
<h1 align="center">a) A Moving Target <br />
  b) A Sitting Duck?</h1>
<p>No I am not talking about duck hunting or shooting of any kind, but if you<br />
  were just starting out learning to shoot target rifles, which would you choose,<br />
  a stationary object or a moving target? </p>
<p>This is really a no brainer, the stationary object of course! </p>
<p>A moving target is just too difficult to hit when you are just starting out<br />
  as a junior marksmen, or markwoman or marksperson, arghhhh! this PC stuff drives<br />
  me crazy but I think you know what I mean.</p>
<p>The <strong>mistake most people make</strong> when they start out trying to<br />
  draw caricatures is that they are <strong>tackling subjects that are far too<br />
  difficult</strong>.</p>
<p>To make it easy on yourself, start by <strong>choosing a subject that has<br />
    exploitable features.</strong></p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--

/* 468x60, created 7/19/09 */
google_ad_slot = "0219811012";

<p>Good caricatures are all about pushing the limits of exaggeration <strong>without<br />
    offending people</strong>, or making them feel bad. <strong>So the first<br />
    of my trade secrets is this</strong></p>
<h1 align="center">Choose An Easy Target, Someone <br />
  With Exploitable Features</h1>
<p>So what does this really mean in the real world? Let&#8217;s take a look at some<br />
  examples.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/easy_target.gif" alt="how to draw cariature easy target" width="350" height="128"></p>
<p>Whether you are choosing a subject as a sample caricature for your portfolio<br />
  or a subject at a birthday party, try to get someone who has a feature that<br />
  is easily exploitable to get the ball rolling.</p>
<p>For example look for someone with a strong chin line or a weak chin line for<br />
  that matter. Look out for the person with deep set eyes or eyes close together<br />
  or eyes wide apart.</p>
<p>Maybe someone with a high forehead or big interesting hair or crazy hairdo.</p>
<p>Somebody really old or somebody really young make great easy targets, because<br />
  frankly these two groups of people are literally sitting ducks!</p>

<h1 align="center">Break The Ice With An Easy Subject And Watch The Rest Of The<br />
  Party Line Up To Take Their Turn</h1>
<p>Old folk by default are generally sitting around so they will be used to sitting<br />
  still, and children on the other hand are usually running around but will cooperate<br />
  and sit still because of the fascination of being drawn.<img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/old_man_cari.jpg" alt="how to draw caricatures old man" width="298" height="350"></p>
<p>You see all those amazing drawings you see that look so cool, are the product<br />
  of taking a series of small steps, baby steps that lead bit by bit towards<br />
  the goal of becoming a master caricature artist.</p>
<p><strong>Okay I hear you say, pick an easy subject and then what?</strong> I<br />
  know what you mean, these things sound easy but the truth is when the pressure<br />
  is on, it can be quite scary. In fact the next little secret will have you<br />
  performing at your best with no pressure at all.</p>
<h1 align="center">Secret No#2 Practise Without Pressure</h1>
<p>We all know that it is easy to practise our drawing at home, away from the<br />
  limelight and <strong>spectacle of a live event</strong>, but whether it be<br />
  a birthday party or trade show, when people are watching you, the very thought<br />
  of making a mistake can freeze you with fear, that can literally stop you in<br />
  your tracks. </p>
<p><strong>So how do you practise without pressure in a REAL working environment?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> Simply grab a pencil and begin <strong>to sketch<br />
    one of your FAVORITE caricatures</strong> that you have done in the past<br />
    and you have on display. One that you have down pat, one that you could do<br />
    over and over because you have practised it to perfection, at home away from<br />
    the pressure of the crowd.</p>
<p>For one, this shows passers by that you are busy and can draw, and often people<br />
  will recognise what you are drawing from your display and make an enquiry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Yeah -that sounds easy for you, as you are a trained artist, well<br />
  to tell you the truth </p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s Greg&#8217;s Story:</strong></p>
<h1 align="center">Frankly, I Was Scared Out Of My Mind</h1>
<p>Here <strong>I was at my very first caricature event</strong> and I thought<br />
  it would be impossible to break the ice and <strong>get my first customer</strong>.<br />
  That was until I began sketching away and along came and inquisitive kid who<br />
  asked if I could draw his ˜picture&#8217;.</p>
<p>Without his parents around, (no pressure to perform) I thought OK, I will<br />
  draw him a caricature for free, and that can&#8217;t be that scary can it? Gee<br />
  if it doesn&#8217;t work out then I will just do another. But you know what, it<br />
  worked out fine, the kid loved it and so did the other kids who gathered around<br />
  to see what was going on.</p>
<p>Then a line began to appear and parents were bringing their children along<br />
  and asking how much. Before long I had a waiting list for my caricatures (that<br />
  I didn&#8217;t think looked all that good), but my customers just loved them.</p>
<h1 align="center">$650 For My First Days Work As <br />
  An Event Caricature Artist “ I Could Hardly Believe it!</h1>
<p><img src="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/dorothy_god_mother.jpg" alt="how to draw caricatures dorothy " width="100" height="120">By<br />
  the end of the day, I had made $650 for about 4 hours work. Thanks to Graeme&#8217;s<br />
  easy techniques that I really hadn&#8217;t studied too hard to tell the truth.<br />
  I am looking forward to my next event “ bring it on!</p>
<p>Greg <br />
  Brand new caricaturist<br />
  ============================================================</p>
<p>Such was the case for one my students, <strong>Greg</strong>, who I had left<br />
  to mind my caricature stand at a trade show, when I had inadvertently double<br />
  booked myself.</p>
<p>Greg was reluctant to take on the task of <strong>Caricature Artist</strong>,<br />
  I knew he could do it so I left him in charge as I had to leave for the other<br />
  event.</p>
<p>When I was about to leave Greg was that nervous that he handed the paper,<br />
  pencils and pens back to me and said, <strong> I don&#8217;t mind looking after<br />
  your stand and if any customers come along, I will just give them your details,<br />
  but no I am not ready to do real paying customer work!</strong> </p>
<p>I told him to relax and draw a couple sketches, remembering the first rule<br />
  of <strong>pick and easy subject</strong> and the second rule, <strong>practise<br />
  without pressure</strong> and you will be fine.</p>
<p>Reluctantly Greg took a small stack of paper and pens from me at the last<br />
  minute and I left him with it, knowing that if he followed my simple steps,<br />
  even his inexperience would not be enough to stop people&#8217;s curiosity and<br />
  ultimately paying customers from beating their way to the front of the line<br />
  to have their caricature done.</p>
<p>Incidentally Greg had flow on customers who bought more artwork from him after<br />
  the event to further make the day very worthwhile. His worry turned to excitement<br />
  because</p>
<h1>I Pulled In $4,150 From Just 4 Hours At The Event!</h1>
<p>Naturally Greg didn&#8217;t make all that money on the day, he still had to go<br />
  away and create the artwork for his new customers, but I think you get the<br />
  picture, (no pun intended hee hee ; ) </p>
<p>Still making $650 for half a days work is nothing to laugh at and work that<br />
  flowed from there was pure cream. I have helped over 100 people just like you<br />
  in the past 12 months alone, so there is no reason why you can&#8217;t be next. <a href="http://www.learn-to-draw.org/content/view/19/39/" class="broken_link">If<br />

<p>So there you have it, that is just two of my trade secrets that have kept<br />
  me busy for the past 30 years drawing caricatures that make people laugh and<br />
  have kept me laughing all the way to the bank!</p>
