this one is done for a great thread over at drawingboard - for caricaturists to do caricatures of other caricaturists (or in my case a wanna-be)

Heya Gord,
Good to see you posting again. I like your caricatures, you’ve always had a way with portraits! What I would love to see you do are more finished pieces, like digital versions of your lovely early pencil portraits - have you ever seen the work of David Kassan? He’s an excellent oil painter in NY:
I think you could do lovely finished digital pieces, would love to see you refine these!
Cheers,
-Rk

nr43 and razz - thanks! - colour is definitely on the not too distant agenda.
becca - I am in a pre letsgetsomereallyambitiousworkdone phase - mentally preparing for some deep stuff. Thanks for dropping by!
Kassan has some very serious skills/talent - I love his work - thanks for the link.

Great Caricatures! I’d like to see more figures too. Your faces capture the likeness of the person. I think this can be done by the body too.

this drawing is a mere sketch, but making it was a powerful experience - I want to a much more complete drawing from the source image.
I look at the source image and feel sadness and horror, but also (somehow) connected to the person. I would like to know who she was, where she came from, her name, her childhood, family, friends…
I would like to see photos of her in happier times. I would like to know more about her.
She is to me enigmatic - like the couragous individual who stood before a column of tanks in Tiamin Sqaure, or the man who was photographed falling from the WTC in 9/11.
These images are horrific, but if approached with sensitivity enable us to reach a deeper sense of compassion for our fellow humans.

Hey Gord, good to see you on the anatomy forums. I didn’t catch your thread on here until now just now. You really have a way with portraits, keep them coming!
