em...'s caricatures

damn,, this are really good , love your sense of color.

Thank you. I wish I had some great theory or insight to expound about colour, but I usually just wing it.


Jordana Brewster.
Done for a Wittygraphy contest on people from the Fast and Furious franchise. I wanted to avoid Vin Diesel, The Rock (both of who I had drawn in January) or Paul Walker, because I thought there would be plenty of them.
One of the female stars seemed a less obvious choice, and I couldn't recall having ever seen a caricature of Ms Brewster, so I went with her.

Had to google her but a quick search proves that this is another good one.
The simplicity of the smooth and solid shading really works well to enhance her sharp angular features.

Thank you both.

I have to confess to not being overly familiar with Ms Brewster myself. I've only seen one of the Fast & Furious movies, and her very first movie performance in The Faculty.

Joan Crawford.
Done quite quickly for a Wittygraphy contest. I did originally intend trying something more stylised, perhaps a vector image, but - as usual - I left it till the last minute, so didn't have the time.

Love the shadow of the eyelashes.
The hair is very convincing too even though it's just a few suggestive strokes.

Cheers. I really liked the eyelash shadows falling across the face in the reference image, which was one of my main reasons for choosing it.


Jack Nicholson.
One of the most caricatured people ever, so it's hard to do anything different. I've drawn him three times over the years, and each time I've drawn him as a character rather than himself.

This time I've decided to do him in the movie Wolf.
