Tilda Swinton

For the facebook Group Caricaturama Showdown 3000
I have to blame to group's host, Ariel Medel, for is rendition of Tilda Swinton as "ET." After that, I can't look at her picture without thinking of ET. So when I picked up a crayon to start sketching, what color did I unconsciously choose? You guessed it!
Sketch in progress:

The sketch as it currently stands:


Prismacolor ArtStix on butcher paper, ~18x24"
For those unfamiliar with the actress, she was in that movie "The Barnacles of Chronic Insomnia" or something like that. Here are a couple of the photos I used for reference:

Caricaturama Showdown 3000!

I joined the Facebook Group "Caricaturama Showdown 3000" - each week they select a celebrity and everyone submits caricatures.
Here are my submissions:

(R)...after looking at it for a while, I decided something was not quite right with the mouth, so I made some revisions.

DANNY TREJO!!!

I just joined the Facebook group "Caricaturama Showdown 3000"
My first endeavor is this week's celebrity: Danny Trejo!!! What a great face this guy has...
IT will also give me a chance to try out the new "RIG" in my studio!!!

Now I can work as big and free as I desire! (The thumbnail sketch is bigger than 9x12"!!!)
Here are a first couple of sketches:

the sketch on the left is good old Crayola Crayons on butcher paper. However, the wax won't allow buildup of layers of color, so I switched to Prismacolor ArtStix for the sketch on the right.
