15 - George again

Mr. Carlin round five, closer and closer. A little more tweeking and it will be time to move it on into the comp, way behind schedule but I'm still plugging away.

14 - Carlin round 3 n 4

Carlin rounds 3 and 4. Took this into class today, got a good amount of feedback. The bottom one appearantly has people thinking more Bob Hope than Carlin so I am going the wrong way with that one. The top one is a bit more promising so I am going to be working from that one. The mouth and eyes still need a fair bit of work but it's all underway, just gotta keep pushing forward.

13 - quick turn around, more Carlin

More George Carlin sketches from class. Bill still has me working on trying to nail down the likeness becuase as you can see I haven't been able to nail it yet. Repitition, time for more drawings, can't learn without trying.

12 - Sept 29th

It's so unfortunate how easily life seems to get in the way. Well I am still working on the George Carlin caricature, it is slowly getting better. Gathering up reference for the Bernie Mac I am going to do next.
The main drags on my time has been the start of a new semester, the launch of Warhammer, earning my 2nd degree black belt on Sept 17th and prepping for a tournament on Oct 3rd and trying to get ready for my first test on the way to becoming a certified ATA instructor. Busy, busy but no excuses so now it's time to go hit the drawing table and then some stuff scanned it dang it...

11 - Georgee Boy #2

Well overtime at EDS not withstanding I have actually gotten another sketch of Mr. Carlin done. This one doesn't have that little smirk that seemed to come through on the last one but I do like the way the hair layers came out even though it is a scan of a pencil sketch.
I actually had some fun trying to put the lines on the mic , something I had never done before and the effect seems to work. Now I just need to apply what I have found in the sketches toward the final digital painting. Hopefully it will all come together.

10 - George Carlin sketch

Well the hectic new job and moving into the new apartment have finally let up a bit and I am now finding a little time to draw. My goal now is to finish a couple more sketches of Georgey boy so I can have a better idea of were to push the final when I start it.

The idea is to make the final look like it is on a stage,spot-lighted,with the 7 words you can't say on TV or radio laid over the background.

As always any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Back to the phones, it's time to make the donuts again.

9 - George Carlin, a pioneer mourned

George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians has saddly passed on. Which in a certain way is kinda cool, I gotta figure he now has a much larger audience whereever he ended up. Carlin was always able to put a smile on my face, his brand of comedy has always been inline with my view of the world in which we all live. Anyways I am thinking of doing a caricature of Carlin so I am going to start in on some sketches and get them posted when the new job and moving into the new place allows.
