I impressed myself by actually starting and finishing a new caricature painting the day after I finally got caught up with editing and uploading all the old artwork from September-January. I hadn't done a pencil drawing with watercolor on coldpress watercolor paper since the caricature con, but luckily I fell right back into the groove of using that same technique here, 2 months later. The tough part about this was that it's Bill Hader with a wig and prosthetics making an expression that looks nothing like him. I ran into a similar problem drawing Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander making the Blue Steel expression. How do you best capture a character's look while still maintaining the actor's likeness? A question for the ages, I suppose.

I just stumbled across this randomly, but this is great! I think you definitely captured both the actor' likeness and the character. I love those sketches, too. Awesome work in general, too!
Real nice! I think the likeness is good. it looks a little like Rain Wilson also.
Thanks... anonymous.
Thanks, Briggs. I think what might be off is that Hader's jaw is more square and wide, but this expression kind of stretches his face a lot. There's other stuff too, so I'm only moderately happy with this piece. If this were a stand-alone illustration not meant to be based on anyone, I would really love how this came out.
