March 6th, 2013 – More Caricatures & Drawing While Sick
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.06, 2013, under Caricatures
Still navigating through sickness. Much better than last week. One way I could tell is by the most recent caricatures I drew at recent events. Above is last Saturday. Below is the Wednesday a week before, where i felt just rotten. I was not up to par on that Wednesday.
The toughest part drawing with a nasty fever was trying to get my brain to grasp proportion and depth. I couldn’t get my head to agree with my hands. I also knocked out a quick set of illustrations during this time and the result was lousy as I couldn’t get the foreground to work with the background. Now feeling better I didn’t have that problem this past weekend.
The next two are also from Saturday near Lake Mary.
The next three are from this past Sunday in Sarasota.
This fellow was great to talk to. He’s 90 and spent World War II in the western Pacific as a signal corp man for the Army. He told me he wished people today showed the courage and commitment that they did back then. I feel the same way and included it in the drawing and asked others in the family to make copies of it to spread around to the youngsters so that they might get his important message, too.

Glad you’re back in the saddle, Rob! Sorry to hear you were sick. I always enjoy seeing your caricatures alongside their proud owners, especially the lively expression in the World War II veteran’s eyes.
