Post-it Note Caricatures

Two ISCA members drawn with a PITT brush pen on a 3" by 3" post-it notes.

Nimo Caricature

A quick caricature sketch of a fellow member of the ISCA (International Society of Caricature Artists).

Skull Sketch

Understanding the structure and anatomy of a skull is very important. When I draw a live caricature I use this information to guide the exaggeration and likeness of the person. Above is a skull I drew on odosketch.

Black Mountain Sourwood Festival

Look here doggie

Here is one dog cartoon I drew last week. Trying to get him to look up was a challenge.

Portrait of Maria

A portrait with some exaggeration. I sketched it while sitting at the 34th annual Biltmore Village Art and Craft Fair last weekend. Drawn with a PITT artist brush pen and shaded with black Prisamacolor pencil and charcoal pencil. I post photographs of mine at fotocommunity.com and I saw the striking image of this little girl. It was taken by Kaleriya Bogoyavlenskaya from Baku, Azerbaijan.

55th Birthday

His wife wanted me to give him bigger ears.

Figure Studies

For a change I thought I would show some of my live figure studies I did this evening. When I attended art school in Philadelphia I enjoyed figure drawing. Twenty years later I still enjoy drawing live models. Some people think artists become cartoonists because they can not draw realistically which is not the case. Understanding anatomy and drawing what I see helps me be a better caricature artist. These are 3 to 10 minute color pencil sketches.

Asheville's Bele Chere Festival

I drew this past weekend at the Bele Chere festival in downtown Asheville. Bele Chere means "beautiful living" in ancient Scottish. I took a few pictures of my work.

Stepp Family Reunion

Been busy lately. Here are a few party style caricatures I did at a family reunion. They take around 5 minutes to draw.

More Pet Caricatures at the Hop

Another pet caricature event. These are fun. It was held at a local ice cream shop on Merrimon Avenue called The Hop .
