About The Project

My wonderful instructor, Chris Whitford-Pointon, turned me on to the wonderful caricatures of Al Hirschfield, who passed away in 2003. I love his economical use of line, and the beautiful flowing shapes he created. I had fun trying to model my caricature of Bogie along those lines.

About the Technique

This is based on a comicbook technique. I inked the lines, working to get thicks and thins. Scanning this in, I then painted in Photoshop. I did not want flat colour, so enjoyed really playing with various colouring techniques and creating a painterly effect.
