Cheryl Cole caricature
Photo-realistic caricature portrait of Cheryl Cole from Girls Aloud and X-Factor
Jason Seiler Caricature
Here’s my entry for the competition I mentioned the other day, to win a caricature by Jason Seiler, the man who taught me a lot of what I know about caricature. Didn’t have time to do a finished painting, but I kinda like this sketch style with the subtle colouring, might use it again. I [...]
Rejected iPhone caricature app has been approved
An iPhone app featuring 540 political caricatures by Tom Richmond was rejected by Apple last week for ‘ridiculing public figures’. But the ‘Bobble Rep’ app was approved a week later, after Tom wrote about the rejection on his blog, sparking off a media storm of protest. There were plenty of naysayers claiming that the rejection [...]
Caricature sketch of Derren Brown
Quick sketch of ‘gay magician’ Derren Brown, who ‘predicted’ the lottery numbers last week. The explanation show was interesting, if somewhat implausible, but I don’t believe the ‘camera trick’ theory either, seems a bit cheap for Derren. Probably the best explanation we’ll get is “It was a trick”. Might work this up into a finished [...]
Mr. Miyagi sketch
Tried a new sketching technique that I got from Jason Seiler’s Sketching DVD, ballpoint pen and white pencil on toned paper. Wax on, wax off….
Caricature of Zach Braff as JD from Scrubs
This is one I’ve done as a request for a friend. It’s painted digitally in Photoshop, but I’m getting printed out on canvas to see how it looks. I’m really happy how it turned out, both the likeness and the paintjob. I feel like it’s another step forward for me, and I’m really enjoying painting [...]
Bruce Lee painting finished
FINALLY got around to finishing this off, after about a year on the easel. Probably could have done loads more on it, but I couldn’t justify spending any more time, going to move on to the next acrylic and play with some more colours. I particularly like the cuts across his stomach, although they’re probably [...]
Thom Yorke Caricature – Digital Painting
Well, I started this one a few months ago, and wasn’t particularly happy with how it was going, so I had a break and came back to it. Once I had changed the background, I could see the finished painting in my mind, so it was a joy to complete. Thom Yorke is notoriously ‘difficult’ [...]
Barack Obama Caricature
Today was a milestone in history, not just for America but for the whole world. To see a dream realised, which would have been absolutely inconceivable 40 years ago, shows us that anything is possible in this world. I started this as a sketch, but as I was feeling inspired, I worked on it a [...]
Bruce Lee Acrylic progress
This has been on the easel for months! I thought posting my progress might inspire me to keep working on it. This is pretty well blocked in, I just need to work on the detail now. It’s the first acrylic I’ve done for ages and I’m really enjoying it.
