Gift Caricature

I came across this Acrylic Caricature while cleaning out the hard drive... so I thought I might as well post it on here. Completed in around November last year this was commisioned for a 40th Birthday present-Matted and Framed. I do remember the Birthday boy loved playing Golf (he drove his buggy from his house to the green !).. drove a BMW X5 and drank XXXX (*barf*)

Here's a recently completed Gift Caricature painted with Acrylic on pre-primed Canvas. On a whole I spent 10 hrs from initial sketch to finished painting. Size: 50 x 40cm

Live Caricature 15/5

..I rarely get the time to stop to take photo's while sketching live...or I forget to pack the camera !...anyway these are the 3 drawings I did manage to take during a store opening gig. I reasonably happy with these as I made an effort to keep each drawing under 4 min

The only time this guy smiled was for this photo...by the way he didn't like the Caricature

VW Rat Van Caricature

Being a fan of the "Rat/Ratter" hotrod... I thought it would be cool to Caricature an old VW Delivery Van ...one of my all time favourite cars to draw.  This was completed in Photoshop over the past couple of weeks...in between paying jobs

Australian Cricket legend Richie Benaud

I've got to admit I was alittle sad when I heard the news that Richie Benaud declared his innings over.... as Captain of the channel 9 commentary team he's been the face of Cricket for the best part of 40 years.

It's known that he hasn't seen an Australian winter in over 35 years so I really wanted to exaggerate the tanned skin tones by giving him an almost bronzed up complextion set agains't the trademark off white blazer and pastel coloured shirt.

I'm not to sure about the background at this stage, I was thinking of maybe adding a wicket backdrop or something....  but one great thing about Digital art is that I can go back to it anytime to adjust or change it 

Caricature of what's his name......

I've seen dozens of Caricatures of Obama, so I'd thought it was about time that I had a go...

This is a quick 15min sketch taken from my sketchbook
