Caricature - Jack Black


Very busy right now with commissioned illustration work and the usual editorial cartoons. I've also got two caricature pieces I'm currently gathering photo reference for, that will both be very detailed and nitpicked to death. More on that later.

But for now, I'm realizing that I'm just not getting enough sketch practice, especially with caricature work. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to do more sketches like this. While they are still digitally painted, these images will be a lot less detailed and clean than any of those that I would consider my 'finished' pieces.

The problem I normally have is knowing when to stop, something I reluctantly did on this one.

Really like how this one turned out! The unfinished look gives Black more energy which he is full of! Keep it up and look forward to more posts!

Thanks, folks! I'm going to do more of these rougher ones, I think.
