#caricatureresolution2017 day 17: Jonah Hill

Posted on January 17, 2017 by bre bro

Some of those more rendered caricatures were taking up a lot of time, and I’m not sure the end product ended up being worth the effort. So this time, I did a quick rendering with flat color. The animation look it had (as well as the meanness of the lame joke on his name) made me think it could be one of those cheap shot gags they cut to quickly on Family Guy.

#caricatureresolution2017 day 16: Emma Stone

Posted on January 16, 2017 by bre bro

Another day, another actor, another comic book character to try to link them to. Emma Stone played the blonde girlfriend of Peter Parker in the next to most recent Spiderman movie franchise, Gwen Stacy. Strange, because she is a natural redhead and yet the people who did the next to next most recent Spider-man set of movies picked a natural blonde (Kirsten Dunst) to play redhead girlfriend of Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson!

Anyway, I digress. I kept her natural locks, but put her in the famous Gwen Stacy outfit she wears when (spoiler alert!) the Green Goblin kills her. I tried more extreme exaggeration on her, and I think it still looks like her, but oftentimes my sketches get a better resemblance the the final, color versions do. Not sure why.

#caricatureresolution2017 day 15: Jesse Eisenberg

Posted on January 15, 2017 by bre bro

Keeping with the comic books theme as often as possible, I forewent any Zuckerberg roles for Mr. Eisenberg and focused on the one he was inexplicably chosen to portray in the current Superman movie franchise, Lex Luthor.

#caricatureresolution2017 day 14: Kristen Stewart

I tried to go with more exaggeration with this one, but even though I emphasized her mouth and teeth and tried to capture that vacant look in her eyes (and acting style) I don’t know that this looks like Kristen Stewart any more than it does Katy Perry.

This is all good practice though.

#caricatureresolution2017 Day 13: Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth as Thor was a given. I decided to draw him as Thor from the comics, since that costume works better in this style.

#caricatureresolution2017 day 12: RDJ

Posted on January 12, 2017 by bre bro

Day 12 calls for Robert Downey Jr. Of course, everyone is going to do him as Iron Man now (although I considered his role in Weird Science) and I’m not different in this case.

Since I’m doing most of these in the iPad app, Procreate, I have the option of uploading the “video” of the screen capture that the program automatically makes. I did that in this case, so you can see the process of the sketch, but spared you the much longer video that shows the whole thing from the sketch to the ink to the color.

#caricatureresolution2017 Day 11: Paul Rudd

Posted on January 11, 2017 by bre bro

The celebrity subjects of this challenge were intentionally picked because most all of them relate to the one that precedes and follows them. In Paul Rudd’s case, he was in Anchorman with yesterday’s subject, Steve Carell and I have chosen to keep the Anchorman theme by portraying Rudd (an unusually difficult subject to caricature, as has been agreed upon by the challenge participants) in this more painterly caricature, in his role as Brian Fantana. Here he is shown applying his noxious and notorious cologne, “Sex Panther”. (I know, the sketch looks more like Geraldo Rivera than Rudd or Fantana, but I hopefully, got closer to a resemblance in the final, colored version.)

Caricature Resolution day 10: Steve Carell

Posted on January 10, 2017 by bre bro

I drew Mr. Carell in his role of Brick Tamland, from the movie, Anchorman with his much-remembered movie quote above. Here are the sketch rough and finished color versions. Created in Procreate on my 12.9″ iPad Pro.

Caricature Resolution 2017 Day 9: Rainn Wilson

Posted on January 9, 2017 by bre bro

Rainn Wilson as rain.

Another sketchbook caricature. Everyone seemed to be drawing actor Rainn Wilson as his most famous role of Dwight Schrute and I wanted to do something different, so I did a lame, literal representation of him made of rain to varying degrees of success.

This will probably be the last one I draw in pencil in the sketchbook, as I just finally got a new iPad Pro and Apple pencil and will be trying them out for future caricature illustrations.

Okay, so I waited a day to start every day doing this. I needed to do another combo of celebrity prompts and putting Liv Tyler and Elijah Wood together as Arwen and Frodo from Lord of the Rings seemed logical and expedient.

Here’s another sketchbook scan of them sketching in with a #2 pencil. I’m not that happy with the Liv Tyler resemblance, or lack thereof, but will have to accept it and move on. I will really, really start doing one each day, starting…… tomorrow!
