When I was drawing this caricature, about three people walked past and said "Oh! Owen Wilson!" I thought I had a great likeness of Matthew McConaughey. Caricatures can be frustrating. If you're drawing someone from a straight-on, frontal view, they'd better have an amazing face shape from that direction. Matthew McConaughey does have a big, kind of square head, but I think it was a mistake to draw him from this angle.

This caricature is another example of me being unable to find something to exaggerate. When that happens, I just pretty much draw a portrait, although if I can make bigger hair or something I'm happy to do it. Johnny Depp has big, expressive eyes and a tiny mouth, so it shouldn't have been too difficult, but you never know where the muse is going to strike.

Looks like the date on this Mariah Carey caricature is 2008. As I write this description in 2016, Mariah Carey just had some of her billboards banned in California airports for being too revealing. In the billboards, she's showing lots of skin, wrapped in a small amount of gold fabric. So I feel like this caricature captures her pretty well, then and now. [ 64 more words ]

This George Clooney was done after a few failed attempts to exaggerate his face and still keep a likeness. In fact, with most of my caricatures, I start by trying to exaggerate as much as possible and still keep a likeness, and if I can't do it, I wind up just drawing a portrait with markers and Artstix. George Clooney wasn't bearded for very long, but he was when this was drawn.

This caricature of Daniel Craig as James Bond provides a pretty good example of Artstix for new caricature artists. Prismacolor Artstix are what we, and many other caricature companies all across the world, use to color our drawings quickly and simply. They're simple, they're fast, and they don't make a huge mess like almost every other kind of coloring medium. [ 112 more words ]

Chris Rock caricature by Tielman Cheaney. So, teeth are one of those aspects of caricature that are hard to get right. Try to clearly delineate every tooth, and you end up with a pretty weird-looking mouth. It just looks like sloppily-made graph paper wedged in there. Don't put enough detail, and it looks like you forgot to draw something important. [ 35 more words ]

Here he is, the 42nd President of the U. S. A., Bill Clinton. In caricatures, we're always trying to spot the unique features on everyone's face. And with Mr. Clinton, there's plenty of uniqueness. His eyes are small, nose is large, eyebrows are nonexistent, haircut is signifigant, and face is red. But there's nothing to unique about his mouth. So I just left it out. [ 81 more words ]

Here's the first caricature ever uploaded to James Dean, by Tielman Cheaney. Uploaded in 2008, I must have drawn this earlier, in 2006 or 2007. I just learned two interesting things about James Dean: 1: His front teeth were fake. He would pop them out to surprise dinner guests. 2: He died before Rebel Without a Cause, the movie that made him an icon, was released. And, two hours before his fatal car crash, he got a speeding ticket.
