Lesson 4 the real final

I posted an earlier version of this, but the instructor suggested that i do more with it. So i did.

Local

I was asked to do a caricature of this young man and his girlfriend. The photos i took of her were all on the blurry side so i just did him for now. I may got back and tighten things up the but the shirt was a pain in the butt. If you look close at the hat , I changed the MLB logo to a person singing into a microphone since i met the subject at a karaoke job, and he sings My Girl. A reference photo is below the caricature.

Lesson 4

Lesson 4 in the class i am taking is about values in a painting. We were able to do a gray scale painting or a monochromatic painting, which is what I chose to do.

King Obama

Birthday People: February 15: Sonny Bono

I tried a little something different with color this time.

Drawings

Here are a few drawings i did Sunday night while waiting to play at a Party. Dean Martin, Ruth Rendell, who i don't know a lot about, and a woman named Shannon, who worked at the hotel where i was playing.

Lesson 4

Here is the homework for the class i am taking. I did NOT do the drawing I just did the Grayscale coloring. It was a lot of fun. If you click on the image you can see a much larger view. There is a lot of detail to the drawing, which made it fun.

Art Spiegelman

The National Caricaturist Network is not having a daily drawing contest. Not sure there is a prize, but it is a way to keep in practice. The first one was Art Spiegelman who celebrates a birthday today. Here is my effort and in case you don't know who he is, there is a reference picture below.

Lesson 2 Sketches

Still loving this. These were all done digitally, but my Wacom pen took a dive!!! and there is no place to get a new one!! It is still under warranty so i just have to wait. Now you may get to see some traditional stuff!

Olympia Snow

This is one of the three republicans that voted for the "mother of all stimulus bills".

Doctors Office Sketch

While at the doctors today i took out a pencil and piece of paper and did this little ditty. (not about Jack and Diane)

Big Ben

Ok, Ben was great in the superbowl, but when he did his speech in the parade on Tuesday the hat was a little strange, so i did this in celebration of 6-BURGH!!

Caricature Class First Assignment

I started taking an online class from a caricature artist i met in North Carolina. So far we had an assignment of drawing five sketches from some photos the instructor sent us and then a drawing of Tom Hanks. They are posted below. Loving classes!!
