This lovely couple from New York hired me to draw a full color digital piece which was pretty much a digital line drawing but made very slightly caricaturish by making the head size a bit bigger than what they would really be. They also had me draw almost 100 guests and wedding party members! I did the guests and party members in marker rendered caricatures. Everything was done via phone, email and Blackberry, bringing in the huge project just under the wire and providing a challenge and a learning experience for how to best organize, handle and execute jobs like this.
 
About Digital Realistic Line Drawings.
Media: Pressure-sensitive drawing tablet, digital vector and paint programs, emailed to you as pdf files.

These are highly finished drawings done very directly from the photos you supply to me. They are fairly realistic but somewhat like a comic book drawing as opposed to a simple illustration. I perfected my techniques for drawing with these digital tools while completing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Multimedia Design at the University of Minnesota several years ago. The line quality is very smooth and clean.
I can inject some degree of fun into them, but they are rather tame compared to what I can do when doing a full-blown caricature. Still, many people prefer these, especially when concerned about not offending the subject being drawn. These are "mild" as opposed to "wild."

To see many examples of digital line drawings done for various different clients by Pete Wagner over the past few years, please visit sister site www.Kartoons.com. Not all of the "Gift Caricatures" on this page are digital line drawings--a few are digital caricatures, but they will give you some ideas about what kinds of things can be done with backgrounds and custom cartoon design treatments, as well as some of the many possible applications.
