I've decided that it might be quite good fun to draw somthing cartoonists call a caricature. That is a picture (or drawing) of someone done in a cartooney style, but instead of just looking like a cartoon drawing that I've copied from another cartoonist (so many cartoons are all the same these days. Drawn with lines. Lettering for the caption etc) this one will look like I had the celebrity right there in front of my drawing pad when I did this.
My plan to do this drawing and make it look like the celebrity that I want it to look like is to draw the picture while quickly looking at my pad and then quickly looking at a photo of the celebrity back and forth as I go. I'm going to draw the celebrity just like they appear in the photo, and then exaggerate their features to add some fun and uniqueness to the drawing. If I didn't do this, then it would just be a drawing of the celebrity.
Remember I am not an artist, and I'm also a single mum.
I'm hoping Penelope Cruze will give me at least £20 for this drawing caricature of herself image.
Here we go.....
I think that worked out quite well. I'm sending it to Penelope Cruze today, but I have to send it by email, as I don't have a colour printer. If she wants it for her art collection, she'll just have to print it out herself.
I'm sure she'll love it...
ReplyDeleteIt's really quite stunning, Leo'd. I can even see the family resemblance to her brother Tom. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI was going to draw Tom Jones, but I couldn't find a decent picture to trace over.
