em...'s caricatures

agree with Val, the Bruce Willis is particularly painfully good!

Thank you both.

Super is what I'm most familiar with him from, and it seemed a nice challenge.


Next five:

Paul Rudd.




Robert Downey Jr.




Chris Hemsworth.




Kristen Stewart.




Jesse Eisenberg.

They all look great, as usual
I was looking in on the caricature group on FB and it seemed a lot of people found Paul Rudd really difficult. I must have seen your version a day or two before that and didn't actually remember it, but decided to try a sketch of my own. Mine turned out crappy, but the overall features (I see now) were pretty much the same as on your version. Maybe I was just remembering yours without being aware Anyhow I think you captured him really well.

Paul Rudd seems to have been probably the most problematic for the biggest number of people. He's not got the most obvious face, and there's no particular stand out feature to act as a 'hook' for the rest. It's really about getting the subtleties and specifics of his face right.

The next five:


Emma Stone.




Jonah Hill.




Michael Cera.




Anna Kendrick.




Rebel Wilson.

Love the Rebel Wilson, she always has so much expression in her face!

I always get Jesse Eisenberg confused with Michael Cera and yet they look so very different here and both are very recognisable in different ways.

I'm also impressed and frustrated at how you've managed to maintain your usual level of quality throughout despite the quick turnover.

I don't think I've ever seen her in a movie, just on Graham Norton's chat show, but she was one of my favourites to draw.

That was a common comment amongst the participants. They do have some crossover in the types or roles they play.

I found that the time restraint actually worked in my favour. There was No time for overthinking or self doubt, I just had to operate on instinct, and it mostly worked out.


Next five:

Ben Stiller.




Will Ferrell.




John C Reilly.




Vin Diesel.




Dwayne Johnson.

The final batch:

Mark Wahlberg.




Amanda Seyfried.




Cara Delevingne.




Elle Fanning.




Whoopi Goldberg.




Anthony Hopkins.

Wish I could offer any useful or crit or feedback but they're all good
I really like how the "paper colour" is the same as their basic skin tone. I guess it saves time when painting too but it looks real nice as well.

That's something I (with very few exceptions) always do. The skin tone's the most important thing to get right, so I start with that when painting colour.

I've noticed But I don't think I mentined it before. And I really do think it helps not just with the skin but also to unify the whole portrait. Seems a good practice for more than one reason
