 Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:38 am Post subject: Caricature Jam- David Bowie |
 |
|
|
Whether you know him as Ziggy Sytardust, The Thin White Duke or that skinny guy with the ridiculous hair from the movie Labyrinth, David Bowie has gone through countless reinventions of his image during his five decades in the music industry.
With his thin face, bad teeth, the different coloured eyes and the mullet (which he was responsible for popularising during his Ziggy years) there should be plenty for the caricaturist to have fun with.
The photos below are just a starting point. At the bottom are some links to more photos.
Have fun!

aaaaawwwwwwwesoooooooommmmmmme! i'm a huge bowie fan, and he's one of my favourite caricature subjects.
here's one i did back in, i think, 2005.
and one i did in 2007. more of an experiment than anything else, so there are elements of it i'm not 100% happy with:
i've been wanting to do another, more of a tight close-up shot, so maybe i'll get to do that for this jam.

you need to try to save your files at a smaller size, i don't know what the limit is exactly, but under 100 kb is a good target.
oh, and here's some goofy shit i just sketched up.
