Here’s two caricature drawings I recently finished. The single person was done in one day while the multiple person caricature took twelve days. The way I normally charge customers is each drawing has a base price, and then you take on a small fee as you add people to the art. With the football drawing, that means I had to charge a base price plus 18 extra people. Seems like that would be expensive but when all is said and done, I did the math and my payment was less than minimum wage over the 12 days I worked on it. I could have made the same money if I had only done three individual drawings but I can’t soak my customers. My accountant who knows I’m not really driven by money looked at my numbers and suggested I start working at McDonald’s again
. Which got me thinking.
After being away from McDonalds as an employee for so long, could I STILL paint in catchup, mustard and Big Mac sauce as good as I used to? LOL
