Guess

My first villain...

30 minutes. Watched this movie again last night... I'm not really pleased with the likeness but I like the overall sketch.

Villains...

Go check out my blog. Doing that drawing got me wanting to sketch some more villains.

Guess...

10 minutes. I was really trying to push the exaggeration really quickly.

Robert Ironside

I wanted to try something other than a mug shot. I wasn't sure he was a dective, but imdb says he is. I was a fan of Perry Mason.

Charlie's Angel

I got this photo off the web. I do not know if I am allowed to post it here. Anyway, she is Jacklin Smith, one of Charlie's Angels. The likeness is in the eyes, and I do not have that yet, but I wanted to try a woman and I agree that they are much harder.

As a matter of fact, this is my first attempt, and I didn't want to post it. This one took about 20 minutes; the other post took about an hour with many interruptions.

Another P.I.

P. I.

The Wacom is not always available. I did this in ink in about 35 minutes.

I don't know if you'll get this one...

30 minutes. This one was tough. I think women are in general and just read an artist that thinks the same thing. She ended up looking mean.

Name that P.I. and then draw you own

20 minutes--most of it spent on the eyes

Teddy

"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism."

I don't like this one as much as the Jefferson. I'd like to explore his face a little more and exaggerate more. I made his body so big that his head comes out looking small which wasn't my intention.

30 minutes.

I also want to put what decisions were made when choosing to exaggerate. I made his nose longer. I made his chin smaller from the bottom lip to the bottom of the face. I made his eyes closer together (I think that took away from likeness actually). I gave more weight to the outside of his face (kind of smaller face area like Seiler). I made his chest poke out more.

Same thing different day...

Eyes–enhower (pun intended)

Coming along great man. This is a quick sketch of Eisenhower's right (left to the viewer) eye. I start by drawing the "socket" shape. I even try to think about The Structure of Man DVDs when I do it too but mostly how the skull eye socket would be. Then draw the white shapes of the eye and after that connect to make the circle shape in the middle. Even if you want a simple caricature you're not planning on shading you can erase the outer socket shape when you've figured out how the eye should look. Once you have that you can erase and exaggerate from there.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I posted about 10 minutes of work on this yesterday. Today I spent another 20-25. It is like a lot of the drawings that I do where the picture is pretty good, but it may or may not resemble the object or essence of what I am drawing.

Jefferson

From Wikipedia – When President John F. Kennedy welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962 he said, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House – with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

The best reference I found was from a Rembrandt painting. The painting was awesome. Let's put how long it took us. 35 minutes.

Look at these 1st two attempts

Let's Go With...

any American President before Clinton.
Just sketch and post. Have in by Sunday Dec. 21
