there's something that's just really funny to me seeing him as ernie with this ducky.

great piece. tho i do think that right hand could use some work

[donpinsent]

Thanx, monkey. I did the sketch fairly quickly, which would explain any insufficiency in the structure and such, but I was just trying to make the hands look like Ernie's, working only from memory. Was I not successful in that? Maybe not. I think I also got the stripes on his sweater wrong. Looking at it again, I think there's supposed to be some yellow in there, isn't there?

Cindy Crawford, for Wittygraphy.

[Haystak]

I don't really see cindy in your caricature... I think its mainly in the way you choose to render her eyes. I looked through pictures and they don't seem to jump out to me as being so big (meaning something that jumped out to be exaggerated).. not size wise anyways, I might have made them more sultry looking, perhaps with really think eyeliner/lashes etc... you've kinda got that "disney" vibe going on.

[donpinsent]

I can see that. And now that you mention it, my main reference photo did have very heavy eye shadow, which I had intended to add but forgot. Oops. Thanks for commenting.

John Singer Sargent's Madame X, for E-Caricatures:

J.K. Simmons, for Caricaturama Showdown 3000:

[JimH]

Madame X a lot of fun!

[donpinsent]

Thanx, Jim! I was quite proud of it.

Here's another one I did pretty quickly today. Sir Richard Attenborough, for Wittygraphy.

[JimH]

Good to see others go off on him. He's seen better years, to be sure. When I did it I thought people would rip me another one for being mean to Santa Claus.

[donpinsent]

Haha! I got a similar reaction back when I did one of Malcolm X a few years ago. A couple of people, for some reason, thought I was being disrespectful. I wasn't getting their logic. In my opinion, everyone's fair game.

[donpinsent]

Mahatma Gandhi, for E-Caricatures.

[donpinsent]

Here's my Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, for E-Caricatures. I thought I'd have time to do some colour or shading on it, but I guess this is it.


I also did this one, trying to push the exaggerations a bit further...


but I think I lost the likeness somewhat.

[donpinsent]

Raquel Welch, for E-Caricatures.

[donpinsent]

Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisl-- quick sketch for E-Caricatures.
