Beautiful characature. I was trying to draw Marlon Brando all weekend, and I didn't come up with anything satisfying. I'm just terrible at characature. I can never 'push' a drawing when I'm working from reference.
Thanks! I wish I had more time to work on this, but between paid jobs and personal work I didn't have time to do more than a few sketches before picking one to ink and color.
Caricatures are hard. I also have a tendency to not push drawings enough when faced with photo reference. Usually it takes me a couple of pages like that Russell Crowe stuff I posted before I'm comfortable enough to push the likeness to extremes.
But then again Don Knotts is easily one of my all-time favorite funny-looking celebs, so he's sort of kinda makes it a bit easier for you with all his natural wonky-ness.
Hell you've inspired me to have a go at a tribute caricature of my very own.
very nicely done. i actually was working on illustration of don knotts that i finished on friday, and after sending it in, i learned that he passed away on saturday!
