Tom Waits - Sketch

I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had much time to draw, but I couldn’t resist fitting in some time for this week’s CS3000 challenge, one of my all time favorites, Tom Waits!

BIll Cosby - Less distortion

Because my painting this week on CS3000 brought forth a windfall of comments, discussion and critiques about photoshop manipulation/filters and what not, as well as what is considered caricature, etc, I decided as a quick exercise, to get my Cosby piece a bit more back to proper dimensions and proportions. It now has a bit more natural feel, but probably more of a portrait than a caricature. The problem I had with this weeks piece was that my initial sketch was very distorted and looked as if it had been done so in photoshop. So once I started painting it, I just focused on the painting and technique and didn’t really bother to see if it was indeed a proper caricature, properly exaggerated, or looked photoshopped, or if it was just plain off. It’s always a good idea to take a step back, take a break and revisit things. Anyway, it was a good lesson and discussion to bring up. The beauty of art is that you never stop learning, growing and hopefully getting better.
