My caricature workshop in Munich, Germany starts today through Sunday! Workshop class illustration above. It’s a little bigger group (16) than usual but I don’t think I’ll be back to Germany anytime soon, so I thought I’d add a few extra students as I had a lengthy waitlist. The July 12th deadline to sign up for my final 2017 workshop taking place here in MN fast approaches. The MN workshops are unique in that part of it takes place in my studio. Check out the details here. READ MORE

I had a few people sign up for my September workshop here in MN last week, so I am only ONE SHORT of the minimum needed not to cancel the class. I’m still sticking to the July 12th deadline to meet that minimum, so if you are thinking about attending one of these this will be my LAST ONE in 2017, and so far the only tentative plans I have for any in 2018 are out on the west coast. So, you midwesterners and even those out towards the east coast, this is it for a long while. Register for a spot today. READ MORE

I’m in Germany right now visiting with my son who is studying here for the summer, so this week’s SotW will have to be another cheat.

This is another one I did as a warmup with the rest of my workshop class in Pittsburgh last month, drawn digitally in about 10 minutes. Here’s the drawing with the photo reference we used: READ MORE

Q: How do you choose the colors for your drawings? Is there something like a Tom-Richmond-color-palette? A: My PhotoShop swatch palette is a Frankenstein-ed amalgamation of colors which includes ones I have found I like the look of in print and kept a sample of for future use, standard PS colors, and a palette of comic book orientated colors I got off the internet from somewhere years ago. It’s a real mish-mash and very disorganized. However, if anyone is interested in having it, here it is. Thanks to Dominick Zeillinger for the question. If you have a question you want answered for the mailbag about… READ MORE
