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????
Chris Rock?
Yes
Well, that’s the end of that game…thanks Danine 🙁
Must come early to play.
I swear you post in the middle of the night 🙁
yeh!! we are on the flip side you dont even think of us it seems sometimes 🙁
So not true I posted this right before I went to bed so you two should have been up and doing nothing.
Some american celebrity?
Right on
Chris Rock, right?
Correct
Hey, you read the first answer….not fair!
You aren’t going to complain about everyone else?
Yes, damn it !!!!!!!
bhahahahah oh loon u are such a me haha
Tiger Woods??? otherwise it’s the guy at my local garage
No on both accounts
I’ll guess John McCain.
Close
Chris Rock for sure
Phew…as long as you are sure
Arsenio Hall! 🙂
I hope you’re going to include the fist pump!
Ugh WRONG
lol
yeah i would agree it looks like chris rock.
I thought someone might say Chris Tucker
It’s either my uncle Fred or George
Stanfe. . .stepenfetch. . . the short guy in TV.who?
You know, that short guy on TV . . . frigginloon . . . or was that Susi Spice . . . all them Aussies look alike to me anyway 🙂
Only TV Aussies I know is the Mentalist.
David Letterman?
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.
Thanks George. There is still something I don’t like. Maybe it is skin tone. I’ll have to play with that.
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.
If he left the bar on the ground, I’d still trip over it. Raising it up just gives me a bloody nose.
Bo and Jams you are both too kind. Hack can also refer to my use of repeated gags.
I believe in beating a dead horse until you make glue. 🙂
That’s one hard-rockin’ Rock, Bearman – amazing work! 🙂
Thanks R.
If that’s not a dead on Chris Rock I need to get out of the editorial cartoon business. Excellent!
Thanks MJ… Please stay..there are so few of us left.
Chris Rock. hands down. nice
Thanks.
well bearman, he does look very similar to my neighbor.
YOU live next door to CHRIS ROCK??!!!!
Is it a friend of mine?
Depends on who you hang with.
is it my brother?
I recognized him immediately, think you caught him nicely!
Thanks…think the complexion is off still. May need to play with that.
Bear, It’s Chris Rock, not Michael Jackson. He might not want you playing with his complexion.
Yeah, I got that it was my favorite comic Chris Rock right away – NICE JOB!
Good then maybe you will recognize the reference for the final product. Hopefully up sometime next week.
It has to be Chris Rock….u did a good job if we are all mentioning him.
Thanks Corve. I appreciate that from such a pop culture critic.
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!”
He thought the picture of him on your banner looked like Chris Rock??
Dang…this is what happens when I enter late into blog post….a happy looking Chris Rock is an oxymoron.
Nice toon thoguh.
Chris is always happy. You must be thinking of Chris(tian) Bale.
Can you do Christian Bale next?
haha…I’ll work on him just for you.
Man, you got Oprah dead on! 😉
“Rock” on, dude!
Uh…Oprah needs a razor.
Abe Vigoda?
You remember when Abe was a young lad.
or it could have been fat albert after going on the biggest loser hehe
Hey Hey Hey……..
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).
But you can draw recurring characters which is amazing in itself.
Thank you, but still…my Chris Rock would look more like – well – a rock.
BTW I need to start adding more comments. I’m totally bumped from the side of the screen (Sigh)
You can promote me on your blog and jump the line. haha
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!
I typically do these and then do a good search of others caricatures of the same person. Then I am disappointed.
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?
Are you sure you didn’t peek? You are correct.
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.
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. 🙂
I’ll accept anything, though the Bishop might feel otherwise.
The zebra from those “Madagascar” movies…only saying the “N” word!
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.
I was impressed with myself for guessing right, but should really congratulate you on drawing right.
One out of two aint bad.
