Hillary Swank "Million Dollar Baby"

[RTK]

One more caricature/portrait thingy. I'm really happy with this one, as I was able to squeeze out quite a bit from the source image (posted below). It's actually the size I used!

I hope you enjoy!

Best use of a source image I have ever done!

Risto,
I REALLY like this one. The black (blue) eye and missing tooth tells the story.

p.s. You'll have to do Clint Eastwood (Hillary's co-star) next.

LOL! You're not only talented, but you have a great sense of humor.

Very nice, Risto. As Zee said, it tells the whole story.

[Grafixman]

Gory, Risto. Bloodless, but still gory enough to make me wince.
Yeah. Do Clint Eastwood. He's standard caricature material.

Thanks guys! Glad you liked it. Still things to learn, and try, but it's starting to feel really comfortable now - and it's fun! Still have to work a bit more on the "likeness" part (when it comes to caricatures it really helps... ) Granted, most (commercial) caricatures are used together with an article or caption - so "knowing" before "looking" helps to recognize the person.

If you want to see what top of the line pros can do - check out Grafixman's link in the "Chris Rock thread" - absolutely amazing stuff!

Here's one more - "Bai Ling" - Yeah, I know... most people don't know who she is... BUT it looks JUST like here

Grafixman, I'm drawing a bit in between diaper duty, and clearing out the backyard from the renovations... And have to head back to work soon, but I hope to get to that Clint Eastwood soon!
