Gift Caricature of Chef Jeff and Debbie

I had fun doing this Caricature. My wife said to be careful on how I do some of the special request, and if not pointed out would not notice ( the booner and nipples hard LOL) I included the references I used and also the first traditional Black & white line Drawing, and the coloring is done digitally.

Samples of Gift Caricature of a family in Munich Germany

I was contacted by the mother of the Father in this Caricature Illustration. I like the fact that she wanted traditional media and I am really enjoying the pen & Ink and water color as my traditional medium of choice. Mark Fredrickson once told me at the 2009 ISCA Caricature Convention ( which is coming up real soon here in my home town, more to follow), and that was that I should try to leave my line work in my work as much as possible because that was my strong point. I am trying to find a fine medium between the liniar work and more tones and values. due to the fact that it is a gift for Christmas everyone will have to wait to see the full final here are close ups that I liked. 

Tom Waits Caricature Portraits

Here is a current Caricature Portrait done of Tom Waits for the Caricaturama Showdown group on Facebook. I had fun painting with Acrylics and tried to create a mood that is similar to his blues music. The original is 5-7" on Canvas. To commission your own painting just first check out my website: www.larserarts.com and then either e-mail me or Call any time 727-422-0668. I should have really tried to exaggerated alittle more to be recognized on this group, but maybe I wanted to do more of a portrait this time because I needed more for my portfolio. I hope everyone is doing good, and I always like to keep in touch.
