over the last five or six years, i've been a regular poster on several caricaturist message boards. some of them are now extinct, but a couple (most notably the drawing board and e-caricatures) are still going strong. one of things we often do on these boards is post our own photos so we can draw caricatures of each other. i thought i'd post on here (since i haven't had much time for new artwork lately) some of my favourites of the ones i've drawn over the years. some of these are several years old, some rather more recent; some are digital, some are pencil-on-paper; and some clearly have more time and effort put into them than others. nothing personal.
hope you like them.

Excellent idea ! Thanks, Don. I don't often visit the two forums (no time), so it's a pleasure for me to discover your drawings ! Great, great !
Hi there !
Thanks for posting my caricature Don. Actually I think it looks like me and the other thing that stroke me at the time you showed it on the E-caricature forum was the similarity between your interpretation of my mug and a picture of my boyfriend noone had seen before on the forum.
Your Maester is really great by the way.
thanks, you two. or should i say, "merci"?
Hey...great job Don.
thanx!
great job Don,
jan :)
This is a beautiful series of characters! Wonderful work, Don!
great scetches !!
thanx, everyone. i'm glad my non-celebrity stuff is appreciated, though personally, i prefer drawring the celebrities.
I just did the same thing on my blog. I hadn't seen this post yet. Great minds work in the same direction. ;)
Anyway, I've seen these singularly, but collectively they make an impressive package of caricatures. Great work, Don!
I actually recognized Mike Hasson from his caricature before the photo! I drew him years ago.
wow, this post has gotten more comments than any other i've posted here. i guess not everyone shares my preference for celebrity caricatures.
thanks for the kind words, guys.
