2011-07-18T13:29:00.004-03:00

Last couple of challenges for caricaturama showroom 3000 have been Bill Cosby and Liam Neeson. I don't know what is going on? I like these drawings but there is something missing, they don't have "punch" I don't know what it is? I think it is time to sketch and sketch and try to find what I'm missing... You know?

Alan Rickman as Snape

2011-06-01T23:55:00.005-03:00

Last week challenge on Caricaturama 3000 was Alan Rickman. I started with a first idea but half way down the painting I realized that I wasn't capturing any feeling or character into the painting. So, I started a new one, this time I went more for a feeling, trying to capture my vision of "Snape", what I think he looks like from reading the books few times, of course having the actor as a huge reference... I'm really happy with the final result :)

2011-03-19T00:26:00.003-03:00

This week on Caricaturama S. 3000 we are honoring Japan, so I decided to paint Ken Watanabe

Ken Watanabe (渡辺謙, born October 21, 1959) is a Japanese stage , film, and television actor. He is known for playing tragic hero characters, such as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi in Letters from Iwo Jima and Lord Katsumoto Moritsu in The Last Samurai, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Among other awards, he has won the Japan Academy Prize for Best Actor twice, in 2007 for Memories of Tomorrow and in 2010 for Shizumanu Taiyō. He is also known for his roles in director Christopher Nolan's Hollywood blockbusters Batman Begins and Inception. (Wikipedia)

Hulk Hugan

2010-11-17T00:18:00.004-04:00

This past week challenge on Caricaturama Showdown 3000! was Hulk Hugan. Well, I won first place with my piece. Something cool is that I tried something new for me. I did a small test to make the image 3D.

To see the 3D effect try this: look at them and relax your eyes, so they actually drift apart. As they do this, guide them so the two images drift into three, until the image in the middle pops into alignment as your stereo image. You are now compositing the left and right images on top of each other, and letting your brain focus on this image alone. Once you get it there, you can easily lock it into place.

Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange

2010-11-01T00:32:00.002-03:00

It was hard to get the likeness. I had to do a lot of sketches until I found something that I liked... BTW, Why they always have so much hair? next time I'll do someone bald, ha ha!

I was invited to participate on a group caricature of the Spanish Football team to celebrate their victory on the Wold Cup. Several caricaturists were asked to draw a player. My assignment was to draw Gerard Piqué. I have to tell that I really enjoyed doing it.
I´ll post the whole team once everybody finishes theirs.

Pablo Picasso

2010-06-12T21:59:00.004-03:00

I really enjoyed doing this one. It is based on Gjon Mili's photography "Picasso's Flashlight Centaur" taken on 1949. I think this series of drawings with light is fantastic, of course you have to imaging it was 1949.

Schnauzer Speed Painting (my dog Kami)

2010-05-24T23:49:00.003-03:00

It was suppose to be a caricature of my dog. I'm not sure it ended too much as a caricature but it definitely was a good rendering exercise. It took me around two hours work.

I did a "speed painting" video check it out!

I Love LOST. Actually I'm watching it right now... :)
I drew Locke a couple of years ago. I'm going to try to find it and post it here to see the difference. :)
I'm happy with the result, it might look like a lot of work but actually it was around 10 hours?

Vane ;)

2010-05-12T13:47:00.004-03:00

Well, I've been working on this one for a loooong time. She's Vanessa, my wife :)
I struggled to get a sketch that I really liked in the beginning. And them I just kept rendering and rendering until I couldn't get any further. This is the caricature that I have put more time and effort in.
I’m really happy with the result and she liked it too, so it means it is good :) She is my first critic and support, I wouldn't be here without her. TQM ;)

Juan Félix Sánchez - 1900-1997

2009-12-10T01:07:00.002-04:00

Wikipedia: Juan Félix Sánchez (16 May 1900 - 18 April 1997) was Andean folk artist born in San Rafael de Mucuchíes, Mérida, Venezuela. Sánchez' talents included weaving and sculpture, and he was also the architect and builder of the Chapel of San Rafael de Mucuchíes dedicated to the Holy Virgin of Coromoto at El Tisure, as well as several other small chapels.

While President of the Communal Meeting of San Rafael in 1929 - 1933, he organised the installation of a turbine to provide electricity to the town.

Alfred Hitchcock

2009-09-09T00:57:00.007-03:00

I finally finished this piece. I'm very happy with the result. I think that even if there is a lot of Hitchcocks based on the same photo reference this one has something that makes it unique... or maybe it's because I painted? :)

Once again values are the very very important. This was a very good value exercise

I did these caricatures on 1993 (I was around 17) I remember it took me along time to finish them, no Photoshop at that time ;). They are my uncles and my dad (the one with glasses and mustache)... Only a mother can keep a drawing of a son for a long time.
