Digital Doodle, Part 2

I figured out my problem drawing McCain. I was trying too hard.

Tried a simpler approach and was pleased with the result.

Whaddaya think? Better? More recognizable?

Good job! I think it is much better.

Your definately on the right track - only the old guy needs more wrinkles.

rosemary said...

much better....he is kind of a hard man to draw/sketch....pale face, white hair, wrinkles....kinda all blend together. Well, except for the dried egg on his chin.

nice job. I love it. I like your drawing of Mcpain...but I dont like him

Speck said...

Lost - Thanks! I checked out how the syndicated guys were drawing him. They were struggling too. Common features out there: Stovepipe head, sliver of white hair, tumorous looking jaw line.

Willym - I was hoping the three hairs sticking up would scream "OLD".

Rosie - Dried egg...Hahaha!

Speck said...

Sage - Thanks.

I'm not enamored with either of the two major candidates this year. I think I'm more of a Libertarian, but Barr-Root '08 just doesn't have much of a ring to it. Barr-Root sounds like an industrial construction company or something.

If that's the case Speck then I'm old... oh wait a minute I am. Forget I posted this.

Willym - Hell, aren't we all honey; aren't we all.

Where's my Geritol?

Shit. When you go to comment, all the reference material disappears. How can we WORK LIKE THAT?!?!

I think you gave McCain a little too much stretch and angularity. So big puffy cheeks and a much shorter forehead.

Also seems like Obama's nose is too thin. And eyes a wee bit too twinkly.

Well, THAT was fun. Now it's time for you to share those Oreos. I love Oreos, too. Except the stuff in the middle.

Booda - I agree on the angularity. His forehead at the hairline is too square. It should look more like the top arc of *gasp* a hotdog. This Frankenstein hairline belongs on Joe Biden.

I think the height of the forehead though is pretty accurate for a charicature. Dude has miles of forehead due to the receding hairline.

Would you like a glass of milk with those Oreos? (grin)
