Father’s day this year, just like every year, left me scratching my head as to what I should get my dad and my tatay. My dad pretty much has everything he wants because he just buys whatever he wants when he wants it and I try to make sure my gifts are a bit more personal if possible. I decided for dad I would create a painting of him, similar to a caricature. Despite my caricatures still lacking a lot of the resemblance I try to achieve, I was able to get the likeness through his actions in the illustration. The caricature I created for dad was behaving similarly to something I could visualize my dad doing. It turned out great and he loved it.
As for my tatay, I was also a bit late on a mother’s day gift for my nanay so I decided to make a caricature of the both of them as well. Since they are in the Philippines also it would be much easier to scan a piece of art to send to them then to try and mail something, half of which never arrives. This caricature of both tatay and nanay turned out great also. This one I actually got a bit closer to the likeness that I was trying to achieve.
