I was engaged by the client, Marie, to do a caricature drawing session for her daughter Juliette's 1st birthday party at the function room of the condo she lives in. The guests were mostly foreign kids accompanied by their parents who were expats working in Singapore.
The art of caricaturing kids especially toddlers is not an easy task. The most challenging part is to make them sit still for at least 2 minutes so that I can capture their features before they start crying & screaming. In this job, I felt very satisfied with the result as I had captured most of them with quite high resemblance. This is done through years of practise drawing toddlers on the street in Orchard Road. To capture the exact age of the kids is another difficult part. Some parents get offended when you draw their kids older than their age especially if they are paying for it. How many artist out there can handle this, I wonder, simply because the customers do not understand that this is hand-drawn artworks that may not be perfect. Whenever I get a chance, I would remind them that artists are human, not robots or machine that can do a flawless job. If you are an artist, I would say that if you could be consistent in getting say 7 out of 10 customers happy with your work, you are considered an excellent artist ;). Enjoy your visit...

Upon reaching the function room, the awesome view of the swimming pool captured my attention.
