Well, today was very interesting! Got some stuff to share about presentation. Soo, near my house every saturday there is a market and I'm going to try and get in the habit of going there and doing street caricature for cash/social experience/practice etc. Last time I did it, it was december 31st I think and I made some money even though there were very few people there (I drew maybe.)
Usually I make twice or three times minimum wage doing caricatures of free and taking tips. This time was very different though, and was the worst experience. I had been growing a beard for a few weeks and my facial hair grows very fast, (it was an inch long at the jaw line.) Turns out people don't see you as approachable when you have a big beard. Figures right?! Every other time I did it was clean shaven, cept the 31's I had some scruff, but it was attractive. Holy shit, going four hours of people thinking your homeless is rough, but it's no skin off my back tbh. Just a learning experience, no more beards!
Even asked people if they thought I looked homeless and most hesitated then said no, but these old ladies were honest and straight up said yea. Plus every other hobo I saw that day had a big beard. So, if you're a caricature artist, make sure you shave, and, put on fairly presentable clothes.
Basically my beard looked like this
