Daily Coronacature: Bruce Lee!

March 20th, 2020 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

I decided to do my Bruce Lee drawing early today, so here it is. Bruce’s face is long and lean. He’s got high cheekbones and they are small/knobby as opposed to a more rounded type. He’s got a deceptively big chin, and a small, pursed mouth. The top of his head is larger and his hairstyle makes that even more pronounced. Look for a new subject tomorrow AM! READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- Christopher Reeve!

February 26th, 2020 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

Thought I’d do something different todayk, and do my “Sketch o’the Week” in brush pens on bristol rather than pencil. I did a small “remark” head of this caricature of Christopher Reeve the other day for someone who ordered a copy of my Superman print from my website, and I kind of liked how it turned out so I did a bigger one for the SotW. As usual, the original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- William Shatner!

February 19th, 2020 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

I’m under the gun with several projects right now so I’m copping out of a new Sketch o’the Week today and posting this instead. It’s is an older sketch I colorized and used in the background of the MAD parody of the show “Mike and Molly” back in MAD number something-or-other. A young William Shatner was notoriously hard to caricature but the more… uh… mature Shatner is a little easier subject. READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- Steven Tyler!

February 12th, 2020 | Posted in Classic Rock Sketch Series

This week’s sketch is of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, one of caricaturdom’s favorite subjects (original available in the Studio Store). I did a quick version of Tyler from the same photo reference for my inking demo at my workshop in Las Vegas this past weekend, and I liked the expression enough to give it another shot in my Sketch o’the Week. Most artists draw Tyler with his mouth open screaming into the mic. READ MORE
