Drawing for tips

One of my favorite sketches. Their favorite sport or hobby was being an astronaut.

I drew this at a local restaurant. I offered to draw guests in exchange for dinner for me and my family. A bargain to the restaurant owner. Plus I had a tip jar. So you can draw pictures, eat and have a little cash in your pocket.

Found this image on the PC. I drew this at a bar in Santa Monica. The bar owner hired me to sketch customers for 3 hours. This group of friends said their favorite hobby was Star Wars.

I was able to set out a tip jar and it was a good night of drawing funny pictures. A lot of smiling faces. When you work out an agreement with the bar/restaurant management to draw for a set fee. Customers don't have to buy a caricature. They almost always leave a tip.
