2.12.11 and 2.13.11

I just watched the McLaughlin group tonight. There are such great characters on this show, I had to do a caricature. I'm definitely start doing them from videos instead of pictures- they're too flat and don't show the geography and volumes of the face.

2.10.11

Not the greatest, but it was worth the practice. It seems like it takes at least two caricatures for me to get warmed up and do something creative.

This one was a lot better. I changed the view to 3/4 to give a better sense of the dimensions of the face, especially the jaw. Working from pictures isn't the greatest for caricature art.

Caricature of the Day 2.9.11

I recently purchased a tablet for my computer. It makes digital art so fast and efficient. Here is the first of a series I've decided to do. I want to practice my caricature art more, so I decided to do one a day. If you have any suggestions of people I should draw, just leave a comment or email me.

Late at the Airport

I know I haven't posted anything in a while... things have been pretty busy. Here's the latest pencil test I've worked on.

 

Watercolor sketch

Here's another one.

Painting en plein air sketches

Here are some paintings I did today. Just practicing with gouache. They each took about an hour to do.

I was just painting around the neighborhood today. The funny thing that happened was a guy came up to see what I was doing. He liked my painting and wondered what it would cost if I could paint his house for him. It was a good thing I had my business card with me...
