Getting back into the studio I thought I would sketch in Photoshop from a photo I had of my bud Colin. I chose to keep it mono as I wanted it to look dark. I just used the paintbrush 24 which comes standard in photoshop and started with a grey background, blocking in the darks […]
I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Venice. My first visit and hopefully not my last. It’s an amazing place with a romantic feel and I expected to find a lot of caricaturists but managed to find only one! I always try and have my caricature done when abroad, it’s really nice to […]
What a fantastic game the other night with Chelsea and what a story for Dider. I thought I would do a quick pencil sketch caricature as he has such an interesting and expressive face.
Another studio caricature created a while ago but kept off the site as it was for a birthday present. This was created with a mix of good old pen and paper then scanned in and coloured up with digital paint. The feedback was fantastic, the client found it difficult to keep hold of the […]

It’s been a while since I updated so I thought I would share a couple of recent caricatures which I did in the studio for presents. This is whilst I struggle on with a 33 people caricature picture and will provide me with a break!
