Caricaturists of the week

Been a little busy recently, I'm currently working on two commissions, one painting and one drawing, I'll post them when they're finished.

In the meantime, I want to share with you a few blogs I have only recently discovered, but which consistently inspire me to draw better caricatures. Some of these guys are professional illustrators or artists, but some are just regular people like me , or even you! I usually find I draw better after browsing these guys' work for a few minutes. So subscribe to their blogs, and be inspired . . .

Single Serving Jack - Caricatures by Neil Davis. Neil never ceases to amaze me with the realism of his paintings and digital art. Check out his Hot Fuzz painting!

ROBOLUS - Sketches and Studies from Roberto Freire. Roberto's pencil sketches are flawless. And he does one (almost) every day! Check out his Eva Longoria caricature.

Rejects - The art, sketches and ramblings of Joe Bluhm. Joe is so good, people are plagiarising his caricatures! He also has some cool videos of him drawing live.

Ken Coogan Caricatures - Another one who constantly inspires me. Check out his Ricky Gervais. Not even finished and it's already amazing!

Jason Seiler - I've mentioned him before, but he deserves another shout out for his exquisite paintings. His Jack Black study is one of my favourites.

Niall O Loughlin - Ireland's finest. Niall's recent Wayne Rooney caricature shows his skill with acrylics. He even shows you how he did it.

Those are the ones that spring to mind, although I know there are countless others out there that I just haven't come across yet. If you know of any good-uns let me know.
