Guess Who?

One of my achilles heels is drawing caricatures of actual people. I can whip out an entire cartoon in an hour from start to finish as long as I don’t have identifiable people. Those can take me an hour each just to sketch them out.

Starting to work on a large undertaking and this guy is in it. Let’s see if I came even close. Can you guess who this is????

    lol

    yeah i would agree it looks like chris rock.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I thought someone might say Chris Tucker

    It’s either my uncle Fred or George Stanfe . . . stepenfetch . . . the short guy in TV.

      1. jammer5 Avatar

        You know, that short guy on TV . . . frigginloon . . . or was that Susi Spice . . . all them Aussies look alike to me anyway 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

    David Letterman?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You don’t pay attention to that show beyond checking out Paul your fellow Canadian.

    Man, you did an on-point Chris Rock. Through constant practice and almost-daily postings, you have transcended the realm of “hack cartoonist” and have become a formidable force in the field.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks George. There is still something I don’t like. Maybe it is skin tone. I’ll have to play with that.

    2. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

      I agree with George(as usual… I think we might be twins, he is the talented one). The problem with you calling yourself a “hack cartoonist” is that you keep raising the bar on those of us who aspire to become “hack cartoonist”. You nailed Chris Rock so good that everyone might stop hating Chris.

      1. jammer5 Avatar

        If he left the bar on the ground, I’d still trip over it. Raising it up just gives me a bloody nose.

      2. Bearman Avatar

        Bo and Jams you are both too kind. Hack can also refer to my use of repeated gags.

        1. George Avatar

          I believe in beating a dead horse until you make glue. 🙂

  11. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    That’s one hard-rockin’ Rock, Bearman – amazing work! 🙂

  12. MJ Avatar

    If that’s not a dead on Chris Rock I need to get out of the editorial cartoon business. Excellent!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks MJ… Please stay..there are so few of us left.

  13. Roland Avatar

    Chris Rock. hands down. nice

  14. lynn Avatar

    well bearman, he does look very similar to my neighbor.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      YOU live next door to CHRIS ROCK??!!!!

  15. 25BAR Avatar

    Is it a friend of mine?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Depends on who you hang with.

      1. 25BAR Avatar

        is it my brother?

  16. Laura Avatar

    I recognized him immediately, think you caught him nicely!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks…think the complexion is off still. May need to play with that.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        Bear, It’s Chris Rock, not Michael Jackson. He might not want you playing with his complexion.

  17. Rick the Stick Avatar

    Yeah, I got that it was my favorite comic Chris Rock right away – NICE JOB!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Good then maybe you will recognize the reference for the final product. Hopefully up sometime next week.

  18. Corve DaCosta Avatar

    It has to be Chris Rock….u did a good job if we are all mentioning him.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Corve. I appreciate that from such a pop culture critic.

  19. lynn Avatar

    FYI-i brought rip by your site just now to show him our banner ad, he took one look at that picture and said: “that’s chris rock!”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He thought the picture of him on your banner looked like Chris Rock??

  20. G Avatar

    Dang…this is what happens when I enter late into blog post….a happy looking Chris Rock is an oxymoron.

    Nice toon thoguh.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Chris is always happy. You must be thinking of Chris(tian) Bale.

      1. nursemyra Avatar

        Can you do Christian Bale next?

        1. Bearman Avatar

          haha…I’ll work on him just for you.

  21. David Avatar

    Man, you got Oprah dead on! 😉

    “Rock” on, dude!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Uh…Oprah needs a razor.

    or it could have been fat albert after going on the biggest loser hehe

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Hey Hey Hey……..

  24. Nate Fakes Avatar

    Actually, a good Chris Rock!

    I’m right there with you though. I HATE doing caricatures. In fact, I don’t think I can do caricatures (just look at my profile picture).

    1. Bearman Avatar

      But you can draw recurring characters which is amazing in itself.

      1. Nate Fakes Avatar

        Thank you, but still…my Chris Rock would look more like – well – a rock.

        1. Nate Fakes Avatar

          BTW I need to start adding more comments. I’m totally bumped from the side of the screen (Sigh)

          1. Bearman Avatar

            You can promote me on your blog and jump the line. haha

  25. Jill Avatar

    I swear I didn’t look at any comments. When I first looked at it, I said “Chris Rock”!! You’re too hard on yourself!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I typically do these and then do a good search of others caricatures of the same person. Then I am disappointed.

  26. John K Avatar

    I didn’t look at any other comments, so my guess wouldn’t be tainted, but you may have already answered this, but is it chris rock?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Are you sure you didn’t peek? You are correct.

  27. Michael Avatar

    I find good looking people hard to charicature, it’s easier if they have odd features than fine cheekbones or whatever. Have decided that since I can’t draw women, I’m just going to copy out of Archie comic books, so at least that’s settled.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Your women are still better than mine.

    Nice Job Bearman. I got that it was Chris Rock write away. I guess you probably would have also accepted Desmond Tutu. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’ll accept anything, though the Bishop might feel otherwise.

  29. DadaHyena Avatar

    The zebra from those “Madagascar” movies…only saying the “N” word!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I guess I’d have to actually watch the Madagascar movies to get it..haha

    I’ll accept anything, though the Bishop might feel otherwise.

  31. […] another edition of Guess Who.  Not as well known as our first Guess Who celeb but if you watch cable news, she is all over […]

  32. Sheila Deeth Avatar

    I was impressed with myself for guessing right, but should really congratulate you on drawing right.

    1. Bearman Avatar
