My last subject for “Sketch Week” is a fun one. Stooges lead singer Iggy Pop is someone everybody seems to caricature… and for good reason. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. I’ve never drawn him before but have always wanted to, so I thought he’d be a good (and easy) one to finish up the week on. I hope everybody enjoyed “Sketch Week”. READ MORE
Doing caricatures of beautiful women can be challenging, but if you look hard enough there is always something you can key in on. Scarlett Johansson might be gorgeous but she also has some very caricaturable features… squinty and small eyes set far apart, a wide and squarish nose, swollen lips, a fairly bulky jaw and chin and a small forehead.

Kicking off sketch week is a relatively quick study of Madonna. READ MORE
Q: I’m currently an art student in my junior year (just getting in the thick of things) and I continue to see small improvements in my rendering and modeling of the human form but still feel as though I have miles to go. So my question is was there a definitive point in your art career where the cliche’ light bulb came on and you finally felt you understood how to handle form? A: I’m still waiting for that light bulb to go off… I consider my handling of the figure mediocre at best. Complete understanding of the human form is, I think, a lifelong… READ MORE
I have to admit I was worried about this film’s chances this summer. This is a summer like no other for comic book based or flavored movies. “Iron Man”, “Indiana Jones”, “Hancock”, “The Incredible Hulk”, “Hellboy 2” and now, “The Dark Knight”. Batman has been done so often on the big screen that I was afraid it would be either the same old same old or that director Christopher Nolan would take it in such a dark direction (“dark”… I am so sick of that adjective being used and overused with regards to Batman) that the film would be overshadowed or blown away by the… READ MORE
