Clint Eastwood Digital Painting

I’m cheating this week and posting this digital painting instead of a “Sketch o’the Week”. A few people saw this as part of my The Mad Art of Caricature book cover and asked about it. I did it specifically for the book cover, based on an earlier SoTW. It’s your basic Photoshop job.

    hi Tom,
    Awesome artwork!
    You rendered over your pencil sketch layer, right? It’s different from your regular Mad mag artwork where you outline them in black first.

      Yes, this is my more “painted” technique. It’s impossible to completely eliminate my linear drawing style from the equation, but I try to avoid line work and concentrate on values and color. The result is not really a painting in the true sense, but it does have the benefit of having a unique look… I’m not trying to be another realistic caricature painter clone.

    Tom-
    This is looks really great! Do you cover your Photoshop painting technique in your caricature book?

      Thanks! No, the focus of the book is drawing caricatures and applications of the art in published illustration in general and MAD in particular.
