another quick sketch here for the "n" female, simply because it's someone about whom i'm pretty indifferent. i know a lot of guys think nelly furtado's pretty hot, but i do not. in addition, i'm annoyed by her music as well as her personality (or at least her public persona). the only reason i chose her was because i was having a hard time thinking of an "n" female, and someone i work with suggested her. so go ahead and suggest things i could have done differently if you want, as long as you accept the fact that i'm not re-doing it any time soon. the biggest challenge i faced on this one was having to make a conscious effort not to just directly copy jan op de beeck's nelly furtado caricature, which is one of my favourite caricatures i've ever seen, of anyone, anywhere, ever! see it here: opdebeeck.com/afbeeldingen/karikatuurschetsen/large/furtado.jpg

thanx, horate. with this one being my official catch-up piece (yaaayyy!), i figured it was about time i went back to putting a little more effort into some of these. here's my "o" male (on the actual "o" male week!), oscar wilde:

thanx, horate.
yeah, this one verges on a finished piece, but i still consider it a sketch, as i haven't quite gone into the level of realism i strive for on finished works, and you can still see some pencil lines. if i were to do it up all finished, which some day i think i'd like to, i'd definitely like to use a "real world" medium for it. probably coloured pencils, though i have been wanting to get into some acrylic painting again...

my "o" female is someone so famous, i can't believe i've never drawn her before. also so famous that, provided i've done well, i shouldn't need to introduce:

here's another one i'm surprised i've never drawrn before. i'm not 100% convinced he qualifies as "p" male, partly because i'm never sure whether his name still starts with "p" these days, and partly because his status as a "male" remains questionable. in any case, i'm using him anyway. here's prince:

I go out of town for a few weeks and look what I come back to... You are a machine Don!! Even though you are having a hard time keeping up with this challenge, you are doing a great job cranking them out. Love this last one! It screams Prince, or the artist formerly known as, or symbol, or whatever the heck his name is these days.

thanx to both of you for commenting. another quick sketch this week. for my "p" female, my goal was to sell it based on an actual facial likeness, rather than on what she's better known for. hopefully, i was successful in this. dolly parton:

wow, that's a long time to let pass. this is supposed to be "s" male week, and i'm just finally getting around to posting a "q" male.frankly, i'll be surprised if i'm able to get caught up before the end of the year. but we'll see. the next several will probably be just quick sketches, or very little more. for the "q" male, i chose the quaid brothers, randy and dennis. hey, are these guys on the outs with each other or something? you never see them together. wanna start up one of them crazy hollywood rumours? who's gonna throw out the first suggestion?
