Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson in Sketchbook Pro & Photoshop

He's 'just your average horny little devil', apparently...

John Hurt: Stage 1

I called this post 'Stage 1' as I'd like to develop it at some point to a more involved piece but at present I'm not sure which way to go. Maybe a black and white hatched drawing or a highly rendered colour version—not sure. Going to sit on it for now...

Tools: Sketchbook Pro

Ben Stiller

That took a bit longer than normal - good fun though: brilliant face!

Owen Wilson

Young Don

Donald Sutherland, in his pomp. Etched in Sketchbook Pro.

Michael C Hall

Although I had every intention of doing a nice stretch with Mr Hall's face - and he's got a great face to stretch with - this drawing ended up straightening itself out as I progressed. It sort of finished up as a half-way-house between a portrait and a caricature. Don't mind too much as the purpose of the exercise was to concentrate on getting symmetries and levels correct. Good practice.

Jack

Here's a fairly quick re-working of an old pencil sketch of Hollywood fav' Mr Jack Lemmon. I wanted to do a b&w painting just to concentrate on form and shade. There wasn't a lot of detail in the reference photo so I had to fill in the blanks. It's very rare I do a side-on portrait and, like anything, it's tricky if you're not used to it - you have to go about things in a slightly different way... good fun.

Brand new colour study of a silver screen actor coming soon...ish.

Pete

Peter Cook

The great comic actor, writer and comedian in digital pencil.

Discovered this in the vaults, about 9/10ths done - so I dusted it down, tarted it up and shoved it out the front door.

Sean Penn...

...or is it some hideous amalgam of Robert De Niro and Hugh Grant?
Digital airbrush/paint isn't my usual (virtual) medium of choice but since I near bankrupted myself with the cintiq purchase back at the start of the year, curiosity go the better of me and I thought it would be good to experiment. I'd also had a couple of commissions asking to use this process so I thought I'd better get busy with it. Can't say it'll become my favourite process for caricaturing but I know I shall be givin' it another go before too long.
