Top 10 Q&A
Q. If I have Barry draw two of us in one picture, how much time will I save?
A. None. Each face takes five minutes, no matter how many are on one sheet.
Q. Is drawing black and white sketches really a time saver over full color?
A. Yes, in one hour twelve to fifteen drawings can be done, where as five to seven in full pastel color can be done. Color is great for gift caricatures. If you desire just some color, opt for my color highlights party caricatures which produce the same number of pictures and costs the same.
