Got any french fries? 'Cause I brought the catch-up!

My caricature-a-week resolution got derailed much faster than I would have expected! I got really busy over the last month and a half or so, to the point where I haven't really had any time for any just-for-fun drawing. But over the last couple of weeks, I've been doing a few sketches here and there to try to get caught up. These are obviously very quick, rough, line-only sketches, but... they're sketches. and they're done. And now I'm caught up.

SO... by way of introduction, here are:
Week 6- "C" female- Carol Burnett
Week 7- "D" male- Don Cheadle
Week 8- "D" female- Zooey Deschanel
Week 9- "E" male- Enrico Colantoni
Week 10- "E female- Ellen DeGeneres
Week 11- "F" male- Forest Whitaker.

(They won't necessarily appear in that order below, but you can probably figure out which is which.)

Robin Hood, Prince of Sweeping, Flowing Hairstyles

A to Zed 2014, Week 5: "C" male: Kevin Costner (as Robin Hood). Back when I first watched Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, I thought the only laughable thing about Costner as Robin Hood was his pathetic and eventually abandoned attempt at a British accent. Looking at the photos again now, I realize his hair was also hilarious.

I promise not all the women I draw for this project will be from that awful Mamma Mia movie.

I've been waiting to post this one because I thought I might have time to go a little further with it. But I guess not. I guess we're just getting a very simple pencil outline caricature this week.

Week 4: "B" female: Christine Baranski.

I think I just broke bad. Except I don't really know what that means.


A to Zed 2014, week 3: B male: Bryan Cranston. It seemed like just about every other caricaturist online had a caricature of this guy, so I thought I'd try him out too.

Her freakishly huge, wide-set eyes led me to believe she'd be easier to caricature!

A to Zed 2014, week 2: A female: Amanda Seyfried. I put a little more effort into the rendering on this one (though it's still far from what I would call a finished piece), but unfortunately, in all the fussing with it, I think I lost the likeness.

A to Zed 2: Zed Harder!

I don't think anyone ever comes looking around here anymore, but in case anyone happens to stumble across it, I'll post these here in addition to my Facebook page, my Twitter feed, my tumblr, E-Caricatures and wittygraphy.com.

Several years ago now (I forget just how many), I did a project I called A to Zed, which meant that each week for one year, I drew a new caricature of a famous person. The first week, it was a male, at least one of whose names started with A. The second week, it was a female starting with A. Then a B male, then a B female, etc. 26 letters in the alphabet time two equals 52 weeks in a year.

Well, one of my annoyances about 2013 was that I didn't spend nearly enough time drawing just for the fun of drawing. So to make sure that doesn't happen again in 2014, I've decided to do the A to Zed project again.

Week 1: A male: Alan Arkin.
