For beginner who learn how to draw caricature, all of us start from zero, and most of us was try our best to copy the artist that can be inspired us. Thought that is the way or the quick to learn.
Anyway, as a professional, after certain years, especially you started doing live drawings for sometimes, you should develop your own style, else you level was unable to improve or you just someone became a copycat.I noticed that especially happened since early 2009 till now, regardless whether the artists are using marker as medium, pencil as medium and so ford, the style of caricature during live event drawing not as big different as the year before 2009.Maybe all of us should do something about it to make the world more interesting.
As an ambidextrous caricaturist, I do caricature drawing since 1990 in Singapore. Einstien from Norway is the pioneer caricaturist with certain years before me, then follow by Eric Ng, Saik, Poon Ee Way whose were my senior. Chong Jit Leong, which known having shop at Yishun area doing full time portrait and caricature around that time as well if not wrong. Not much people doing caricature for events fringe art during that period. Nowadays, more than 22 active caricaturists in the industry.

I just met Mr Yong from Yong Gallery (http://yonggallerysart.blogspot.com/)recently, one of the famous Singapore Calligrapher doing his Chinese Calligraphy in the red color Chinese fans which provide by him.This Indian Parot fortune card picking fortune telling was very accurate! This is my first time to trythis Parot fortune card reading in my event life! Because usually all of us do not have the time to serve each other due to each entertainer in the event was start at the same timing.
That was so great that this Parot fortune card owner will read out your fortune from the card which picked by the Parot, because most of the Parot fortune card owner will let you read the card by youself.One of Malay cultural art demo: Ketupak making.and Indian's tradiional florist art.

Caricature Job
That was great to met Katherine Mah (http://www.littlecrystalpaints.com/)who doing body art in one of the event I did recently! Katherine was one of the best body art i met in the event market. That was great to seeing her and her team doing well. Obviously, their succeed was due to their right attitude, only concentrate on doing their job in a professional way, never like other artist who like to spend unnecessary time to jealous about other people or talk bad behind people. Hence, they are one of the team that like to use by many event companies.Some of my guests ;p
