Former First Lady, Michelle Obama is today’s given subject on the assignment list given to all who participate in this year’s daily drawing challenge. I went with exaggeration on the chin mostly, but I am happy with the likeness still being visible, I hope.
Day 8 of “Caricature Resolution 2019” has Ellen Degeneres as the subject. Besides going from standup comic to sitcom star to daytime talk show host, she was also the voice of Dory, the forgetful fish in Finding Nemo, as well as in the sequel, Finding Dory. Therefore, I drew her […]

Day two of the monthlong drawing challenge for caricaturists: “Caricature Resolution 2019”, and the subject is the late Diana, princess (not to be confused with Diana Prince, the secret identity of Diana, princess of the Amazons, but she may show up later this month, I haven’t looked over the whole […]
