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 […]
Bacon & Eggs! Spent a delightful couple of hours at Stokes Farm on Saturday doing caricatures. Mostly kids, as you would expect with this sort of event and it was really good fun. I did sneak in a few caricatures of mums and dads which made it more varied. This is the […]
Want something that is unique to give as a present? Ben wanted to get his wife something that was personal and different from the norm. He gave me a list of features about his wife, likes, loves and favourite items and I set to work on a personalised caricature. Ben phoned me the day […]
This is the setup I had for the Cats Protection Charity bash the other weekend. It was pretty good, I was busy most of the time and raised some money for the charity. I was sent a copy of a local paper which featured one of my subjects and caricatures! Don’t know which paper it […]
So it’s a first for me – Caricatures on a double decker bus. This was a Bar Mitzvah party, the venue was North London and the bus was fantastic! The bus was ‘decked’ out with wide screens, games consoles, disco etc. The Shakes were being made to order and the whole thing rocked….literally! In […]
I was playing with an alternative to my normal wedding caricature designs. Normally I draw black and white which are the fastest – between 6 – 8 mins using a Tombo brush pen for black giving me thick and thin outlines and then Copic markers for the grey tint as seen in option A. Then […]
New airbrush arrived a few weeks ago but I have been too busy to open it and give it a try. Sunday was the day, not sure if this tool will prove useful for caricature but thought I would give it a try. I have taken a few lessons in the past from a real […]
This was a real treat, so many different characters in one picture! The client sent photos and details on each of the guys in the caricature and from those I created line drawings then scanned in and coloured up in Photoshop. This was to be a special leaving present presented to the regiment on […]
What a great Saturday night at the Coppid Beech Hotel where I met some fantastic military sergeants and their partners. The evening went really well and I must have gone through several marker pens with the amount of caricatures I turned out during the evening. I was that busy I didn’t get any time to […]
