Caricature samples of Leno and Gleason

posted 1.29.10 at 12:00 am
 I'm breaking new ground today, doing something NO OTHER caricaturist in the history of humor has EVER tried: I did a caricature of JAY LENO!  I know, I know, I can't believe I'm the first, but I'm sure other artists will follow suit.
The key to this one is this (take notes, you up-and-comers): if you look closely, and kinda squint, turn your head a little bit, you'll notice that Leno's chin is just sliiiiightly bigger than a watermelon.  (Don't ask me how I figured that out, I've been doing this a long time, and these things just come to me.)  For caricature purposes, this would lead us to assume that, yes, we SHOULD draw him with a slightly enlarged chin.
That is your caricature lesson for today.  Tomorrow we'll go back to basics and discuss the slight yet subtle facial characteristics of the Elephant Man. 
Oh, and the other drawing is Jackie Gleason.
