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
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.

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
