A message to anyone sitting for a caricature.


Putting together a little PSA on caricature art and how to sit for one.

Caricatures require very little participation from the subject except the following:

  • Bring something to the table, a story about yourself is like a teaser trailer of the movie that is your life, and by which I mean sure no one may want to see it and it would most likely tank at the box office-- but a basic gist of your everyday existence or highlights from your past or even things you like can make for a more interesting caricature thematically.
  • Keep still, it might seem obvious but if you don't move around so much it's easier to draw.
Cheers-

Avengers Assembled fan art concept piece

Captain Thor Hulk Man. This has no doubt been dreamed up before but a combination of the big 4 of the Avengers I felt needed to be drawn it'd normally be a Sketch Book Session piece but when I run out of spare pages in my sketchbook I simply return to my old way of drawing, plundering the stack of A4 print paper.

Chun Li caricature 2010


Chun Li from Street Fighter the noo Miss Joon as Pop Culture Pin-Up Princess, this piece is yes a couple of years old but it's the most complete and cute, plus I love it.  






As the only female character in the original game she occupied a very special place amongst the all male cast she doesn't feel out of place or there as politically correct window dressing she is a power character in her own right and her unique of traditional Chinese dress wrestling boots accessorising with spiked tires bracelets and white jellyfish, Princess Leia, Brain Slug hair ties.
