STUDENT WORK - BEFORE & AFTER
Here is a Before and After sample of one of the student's work from Pashur's Caricature Zoom Workshop on April 12, 2022. Both pictures were drawn in ink only, no pencil and she only had a few minutes to draw each picture.
The Before Picture: She had never drawn a caricature before.
The After Pic: The same subject drawn just a few hours later.
Here are some words from the student...
"Read about Pashur's BRILLIANT beginner caricature Zoom class he put on yesterday!! Be sure to snag his info now, give him a follow, and sign up for his emails so you don't miss out on another opportunity like this. JUST LOOK at my before and after & what I was able to accomplish in a single 8-hour course put on by Pashur. These were timed drawings using only a black sharpie with no pre-pencil sketch. Caricature art is something I have fawned over for literally decades, but always felt like it was an unachievable skill for a self-taught artist like myself. BUT he has made it attainable by breaking every aspect down into understandable pieces. I just need to put in the time and practice now!! Clearly there's a lot of improvement to be made but this is literally THE FIRST Caricature I've ever drawn. I'm super stoked. So dudes - go find Pashur if you want to expand your business services. THANKS PASHUR!!!"
“I need you to understand that you truly opened the door to a decades long dream of mine. You really made this an achievable goal for me. Baby steps - it's all time and practice now. THANK YOU!!”
- Holly Lewis
WHAT ELSE ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP?
"Best thing for my business I did was take your workshop!"
- Larissa Symbouras
“Great instructor! I learned more about caricatures in an 8 hour class than in months muddling through myself... I loved the structure and step-by step nature. Now, I just need to practice!” This class gave me so much confidence with a structured format toward caricatures! My wife (who runs the business side of our business), saw how things were progressing, and told me to be ready to be booked come May."
- Ed Mueller
"Pashur's class is fun, informative, and inspiring! I always dreamed of doing caricatures, but every time I tried I was discouraged with results. But the "Pashur method" of drawing caricatures has already proven effective in enabling me to start doing them immediately!!"
- Richard Kilpatrick
"This caricature class was the best. I learned so much and now I just want to practice. I learned everything I needed to know to do caricatures in public. The class gave me the skills and confidence to do caricatures."
- Sally Edelman
"Pashur's Caricature Workshop was AWESOME! I saw HUGE improvements in every single attendee. I had never done a caricature before, and Pashur pushed me to the next level. I practiced for hours between the first day and the second day. Pashur carefully critiqued our work, so we could get better. I can see myself doing this for a long time. Thank you so much, Pashur for being an amazing, inspirational teacher."
- Lisa Leyes
"Pashur's caricature class was so awesome! I can’t even tell you how much I learned, my brain has exploded! I did not think I would love this this much! For those of you who need to up your skills I absolutely recommend this class!"
- Ashley Stamps
"If you're on the fence about Pashur's class, let me tell you it's ABSOLUTELY worth it! I had never done caricatures before taking the class, and was doing them easily afterwards. It's a very fun class, and Pashur is probably the best teacher you'll find. You're not overloaded with instructions. He's giving you everything you need, and everyone in the class was able to hit the ground running. Excellent class!"
- Corey Morgan
"I always had the perception that you need to be able to draw portraits to do caricatures well, such a myth. This class was so much fun! and it all seemed doable after Pashur gave the step by step and his tips and tricks to do quick and effective party caricatures. Don't think twice, this is way worth it!"
- Trishla Maru
