i would like to go back and touch up the last few caricatures i've posted here (gwyneth, clooney, frida, the guy on the right from flight of the conchords...), correcting likenesses as well as i can, but in the meantime, i've moved on to the "h" male. "h" can be for "hugh" or "house", whichever you prefer. hopefully, i haven't completely missed the mark on this one.

so, i was watching "dexter" the other night (the watered down, network tv version), and i thought, "man, that guy who plays dexter is a caricature waiting to happen." so, not to let him down, i made it happen. on paper! with a pencil! then after the show was over. i looked him up on imdb to find out his name, and it turns out his last name starts with an "h". so here, ladies and gentlemen, is a bonus "h" male, michael c. hall. (sorry about the lines down the image. my scanner has just suddenly started putting those there. gotta look into that.)

I love the House drawing! Great exaggeration. I'm not sure about Dexter. Something seems off. Maybe it's because he isn't covered in blood? Seriously though, I don't know that I would have known it was him if you didn't mention it. I can see him in the drawing, but at the same time, it doesn't scream Dex to me.

i do recognize that i have done several lately that haven't quite hit the target, but this time, toonmom, i'm just gonna go ahead and disagree. i'm quite happy with the likeness on dexter, and have gotten only positive response back from others who have seen it. i don't say this defensively or anything like that, but rather just to say that i appreciate your input, but in this case, i'm gonna leave it the way it is.

i Don`t know Dexter Don, but i like the way of sketch-drawing; House is like those scholars drawings when the bored teacher is speaking ...zzzz.....

thanx. okay, here's my "h" female. i was going to rush out a quick sketch of this one and post it on friday, which would have gotten me caught up to where i should have been. however, once the basic line sketch was done, i somehow felt that this had to be my next official finished work. so i put some more time into it. hope you like it, and hopefully i'll be able to get an "i" male sketch done this week as well, and then be caught up. audrey hepburn:

Awesome Hepburn Don! No offense taken on the Dexter thing Don. You know I love your work, I was just nit-picking.

every now and then, i get the urge to break out of my "comfort zone" (to use a worn-out phrase) by trying to caricature a celebrity of whom i'm not particularly a fan, and therefore am not that familiar with. this was the motivation behind my choice of "i" male-- rapper ice cube (i really, really hate rap!). the reason for the red is just experimentation. i wanted to try something monochromatic in some other sahde than my usual black, and for some reason (or perhaps for no reason at all), red was just the colour that called out to me. so, here he is. ice cube: oh, and, congratulate me on finally being officially caught up! woo-hooooooo! ... until next time i fall behind.

You deserve a congratulations for more than just getting caught up, Don. Your Ice Cube work is outstanding - love that red.

nice work, don. one week after getting caught up, i get a week behind again. here's what should have been last week's caricature (we got dumped with a particularly difficult episode of the show we're working on), the "i" female: ingrid bergman. now, i didn't really want to do another old-timey talking picture actress so soon after audrey hepburn, but i chose ingrid as my "i" female for one reason: i couldn't think of any other famous women with names starting with "i". i don't even know much about her, so, while i think i got a decent likeness here, i'd probably cede pretty quickly to the opposing opinion of anyone more familiar with her. anyway, enough talk. here's ingrid bergman: hopefully later in the week, you'll be seeing my "j" male.
