Here’s my take on Marlon Brando for both my SotW and Tom’s Daily Coronacature. This is another good example of doing a caricature of a character as much as of the actor. Brando would often transform himself in roles to the point of being almost unrecognizable as himself. In “The Godfather” this was particularly true. The make-up played a part but it was the way he spoke, held his head with the heavy jowls jutting forward, had the sleepy-lidded eyes, that created the “presence” of Don Corleone. The makeup created the thick eyeliner/lashes and the “mumps” look in the jaw. Those are the things one… READ MORE

So on day 101 of “Tom’s Daily Coronacature”, new stewards Bob Murphy and Dave Snyder had me as the subject! I saw a lot of really great caricatures of me! As it happens, I had to do a caricature of myself this week for another project, so I officially hit 101 days! This one is in brush pen. READ MORE

Well, that’s a wrap! 100 days of posting a subject and doing a caricature every day! Whew! It’s been a wild ride but a lot of fun… although it’s put a serious crimp in my studio work. Thanks to everyone who participated! We saw a lot of great caricature art and a lot of earnest effort. Well done, all! Just another reminder that even though I am stepping back, caricaturists Bob Murphy and Dave Snyder are taking the reins and will continue “The Daily Coronacature” in the same format: a new subject each morning along with a few reference pics to get you started. Your… READ MORE

I confess I did this one yesterday in anticipation of today’s subject… I wanted to spend some extra time on it. I’m a huge fan of The Beatles and wanted to do the band justice. Well, that’s it! 100 days of a new caricature every day. I’ll post a wrap up of all this tomorrow, with a bit of related news. Right now I’m too exhausted! READ MORE

Today’s subject was actually a character… Tarzan! We could draw any actor who has played Tarzan in film or on TV. I went with Christopher Lambert‘s Ape Man from the 1984 film “Greystoke” The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes”. I haven’t seen the movie in years, but it came out right when I graduated high school and I vividly remember seeing it in theaters at the time and thinking it was great. Plus… THAT FOREHEAD is more like a FIVEHEAD. READ MORE

Here are the last of my catch up sketches for “Tom’s Daily Coronacature”. Earlier in our 100 day run I posted a few old sketches due to some deadlines I was trying to beat, so I am doing new sketches of those subjects. Here’s Kurt Russell, Jimmy Fallon and Gina Torres. READ MORE

Here’s a quick sketch of the haunting Eva Green for day 98. Eva’s eyes are certainly the focal point of her presence. They have an interesting shape, with a very horizontal upper eyelid and the lower shape of the eye much more round. They are also very wide eyes, taking up almost her entire face width. She has a rather large forehead mass and a thin jawline. Two more days to day 100! READ MORE

Here’s my drawing of Donald Glover. I am not sure it’s much of a caricature of him. Most of this drawing is about the herky-jerky awkwardness of his dance moves in the “This is America” video. READ MORE
