Donald Tsang


Another one of the oriental guys I've been working on lately. Notice the background; Since I had a tight deadline, what better than using a cutting collage for the city to save time and the trouble of drawing buldings -which I don't mind, but...-. : )

One more of those I truly enjoy doing. It's a lot of fun particularly when the animal's face helps me with the theme I choose to put it in.

This is something I've wanted to share for quite a while but didnt' have the outlet for it; Hah! Now I do...
This is the process I prefer to follow when doing a caricature (not a humorous portrait). Sometimes deadlines don't allow you to spend much time "playing" and many people don't quite get that the whole thing is about exaggeration.
Anyway, here it is for you to see.

In the past few months for one reason or another I've had to draw many people of asian descent; it's a bit tricky likeness wise but I think I've pulled it out in a good way.
I'll show you more soon.

Mavis Staple


This is one of those really cool ones that comes across from time to time: Great face, excellent reference pictures, pose, colors.. All in all one I had a lot of fun with!

Stravinski


Aaaahhhh! Nothing like classical composers, pop musicians, writers... They usually have the best faces and are just there for us to put them on paper; no matter what the angle is! Then you combine that with a simple graphite drawing and the results are like this.

Myron Scholes


This is one of those corporate assignments that come often to my drawing board. They are fun to do except that pictures usually have frontal views and there's nothing in caricature as having different angles to play with a face.

Here's one more of those I was talking about. they are really fun to draw and one thing I've noticed is how one can bring out the personality of these creatures.
Enjoy!

Hi Everyone!
It is a pleasure to finally have a blog so that you, my good faithful followers have a closer channel of communication with me and my work.
I will be showing some things well known to you all and others that you are not-so-familiar with, like the guy to the left. This was used for stickers in a series of 15 different breeds I did. I love animals and enjoy doing caricatures of them. Putting them in human situations is certainly something I enjoy doing.
So, welcome to my blog and hope you enjoy this little bridge between you and I.
Ismael.
