Alright Alright Alright! Matthew McConaughey was our subject way back on “Tom’s Daily Coronacature” day 31, but I copped out and posted an old caricature of him rather than do a new sketch. There were a handful of days around then where I had some nasty deadlines and did the same thing. I’m going back and doing new sketches of any subjects I wimped out on. So, here’s a new take on Matthew… I could not resist drawing him doing the “Lincoln Finger Roll”. READ MORE

Better late than never today… here’s my Rosario Dawson. Rosario has a really wide and square jaw for a woman. Males tend to have larger mandible bones and brow shelves with a more sloped forehead than females, although there are plenty of examples that break that “rule”. Rosario has an angular jaw and chin, with a wide mouth and full lips. She also has big and wide eyes, and a narrow nose bridge with heavy eyelids. Here lower lids budge out quite prominently. By the way, this is not the first time I have drawn Ms. Dawson. In fact, I drew her “live” at the… READ MORE

Here’s my Fred Rogers. I decided to add some of the figure because that’s so a part of his persona. This subject is challenging to caricature because he doesn’t have a very strong and identifiable expression that is associated with him. He is known for being very mild, calm, and even keeled. Having such a soft and understated “presence” give you nothing to exaggerate in terms of personality, so you are left with trying to capture that calm and mild look. Physically he has a few things to exaggerate. He’s got a fairly wide and large forehead area, and dark, heavy eyebrows that extend almost… READ MORE

I couldn’t resist drawing Frances McDormand in her role of “Margey” from the original Fargo movie. We Minnesotans have a special affinity for that movie, donchaknow. Dat der moovie was a heckuva deal. I mean, oh jeez, it was just like real life! READ MORE

Here’s my George Takei! George is WIIIIDE at the cheeks, and he has a very wide smile so that means most of his mass to the bottom of his head shape. As a result, you have to reduce the mass in the forehead. READ MORE

Here’s my sketch of Snoop Dogg… he’s got a great face to caricature. Snoop has a long, lean headshape but his eyes are very far apart… they almost seem to touch the outsides of his head. With a more serious expression he has sharp, high cheekbones, but when he does his wide stoner’s grin like this he has small, round “cherry tomato” cheeks that overpower the cheekbones. He also has a very lean jawline and a small chin. Finally he has big, heavy eyelids and a strong brow. READ MORE
