Kevin Smith is easily my favorite film director. I've loved his style of storytelling and the characters that he creates since I was a teenager. Here are a couple of drawings I did of a few View Askew-niverse regulars.

Random Google Search - Ugly People

One of the interesting things about good caricatures is how they balance humorous exaggeration with a good likeness. If someone is cute or attractive, there is not much risk of insulting them. If they are, how shall we say, less than attractive, the risk is somewhat higher. With that in mind, tonight's random Google search is: Ugly People. The drawings were done with Prismacolor markers, and took 5-6 minutes.

Sketching Comedy

Louis CK

Dave Attell

Doug Stanhope

George Carlin

Louis Black

I love stand up comedy. I will routinely pull up a comedian that I like on Pandora, and listen to that while I am drawing. I was doing this the other day while I was looking for someone to draw pictures of, and I figured, "why not draw the comics?". So I did a quick black and white caricature of each comedian that popped up on Pandora. They were done with Prismacolor markers, and averaged 6 minutes each.

Random Google Search - Old Men

Some times, just for poops and giggles, I'll enter random search terms into the Google and draw caricatures of whoever turns up. Today's random search: old men. These were done with Prismacolor double tip markers, which are awesome fun to draw with, by the way. They provide a neat looking alternative to color stick for shading black and white caricatures. Each one was done in 5-6 minutes.

I'll start this blog with some sketches of the 4 guys vying for the Republican presidential nomination. They were done with marker and and art stix, and averaged 12 minutes.
