Mike's Toon

Mike the guitarist

Mike's is the first caricature I made.   I like the transparent background and plan to do that to all the sketches.   Sketched so far:

     Christy's toon
     Mike's guitar

It'll take some time to climb the learning curve for the new software, GIMP, but I expect it to be worthwhile because it's in my budget (being free), plus being open-source appeals to my sense of amity and goodwill.

Christy's Toon

Christy the lead singer

Last March I created a caricature of my face to use in a poster for promoting the band.   I've been using as a facebook profile pic.   It includes my instrument, a microphone.   Haven't pixed a flute yet.

I gave Photoshop Elements a try-out for creating the sketches ~ Mike's guitar, my face, and Mike's face ~ and now I plan to use GIMP (free and open-source) to continue crafting the collection.
