Caricature Resolution 2018, Day 2 is: KURT COBAIN I tried for a a more graphic style at first, but somehow the face got more and more detailed with realism while the hair, shirt and guitar stayed in the simplified graphical style. Maybe this will work as a new style combo? […]
Happy New Year! 2018 brings a new month-long art challenge: Caricature Resolution 2018. This year’s theme is celebrities that are no longer with us, having past away either recently or not so much.
