I’m working on a couple of projects right now and was running out of time so I decided to do a quick caricature study of Reverend Al Sharpton by request. I hadn’t thought of doing him and he turned out to be a great subject. This Study is not in what I consider a finished state. It was strictly for practice. I want to do something a bit more extreme next time. I’ll have to find the right subject for it. For example, I love the work of Russ Cook. He really pushes the limits with his caricatures. I don’t expect to turn out a caricature comparable to his but I want to experiment with some extreme exaggeration. Russ has a gift of exaggerating a face until it is completely contorted, yet he captures the essence of the person. Check his work out. It’s awesome stuff. Well, it’s getting late so that’s it for tonight.
