More Color Portraits and Caricatures!

Here's another "just because" project I did for some old friends, as a surprise! I used pics of this happy couple, then worked up an inked drawing, scanned and printed that artwork onto sturdy art board, then used watercolors to complete the portrait! They were very pleased and surprised to receive the illustrations! Lots fun! Click below to enlarge!

Roy and Brenda! Two Fun Watercolor Caricatures!

Here are two recent watercolor portrait/caricatures I did just for fun! I had already been commissioned by these friends to create two color images of them (with their beloved dog), and used a technique involving hand-drawing mixed with computer color. They were very happy with the results, but I wanted to re-focus on the caricatures, this time using only hand-drawn techniques! Click to enlarge each step below!
