Caricature sketch

The National Cartoonists Society, of which I am a longtime member and a past president, just released a fun kid’s activity book as part of their “Cartooning for Kids” program. Originally this was going to be a printed book that the NCS would have available for schools, kids organization and for our children’s hospital visits, but the coronavirus scuttled all that. Instead, the NCS has made it available as a PDF that anyone can download and print out (although they will eventually have a…

Here’s my take on Salvador Dali. Between his “10 minutes after 10” mustache, the buggy eyes and his mugging for the camera, he’s a lot of fun to draw.

Sketch

This week’s subject is Carl Switzer AKA “Alfalfa” from the classic Hal Roach “Our Gang” (later known as “The Little Rascals”) shorts. While the series stretched from the early 1920’s to the mid 1940’s, with the kid actors obviously aging out and being replaced constantly, the era most people are familiar with was the late 1930’s, when Alfalfa, Spanky, Darla, Buckwheat, and Porky were prominent characters. These shorts were syndicated on TV when I was a kid in in the 70’s, and I watched them…

Here’s my sketch of today’s “The Daily Coronacature” subject- Albert Einstein! As usual, the original is available in my Studio Store. Today is the one year anniversary of the start of “The Daily Coronacature”! On March 17th, 2020, I posted and drew our first subject… Eugene Levy. That was 366 days ago. It’s been a long year, but our little daily drawing exercise has been a fun distraction. I did it all myself for 100 days, then brought in a couple of others to start picking the subjects and…

Here’s my caricature of the late Irrfan Khan. I haven’t had occasion to draw many Bollywood stars. Only a few of the actors from the Hindi film industry have also established careers in english-speaking films, but Irrfan Khan is one of them. I have done one “Bollywood” related piece of MAD art… sort of. Back in 2016 I was a guest at a comic con in New Delhi, India. The convention organizers asked me to do a piece of art for a print for the con… something I could sign that would appeal to…

Here’s my sketch of Snoop Dogg… he’s got a great face to caricature. Snoop has a long, lean headshape but his eyes are very far apart… they almost seem to touch the outsides of his head. With a more serious expression he has sharp, high cheekbones, but when he does his wide stoner’s grin like this he has small, round “cherry tomato” cheeks that overpower the cheekbones. He also has a very lean jawline and a small chin. Finally he has big, heavy eyelids and a strong brow.
