John Gruber Caricature
I’ve been having a hard time sitting down to draw lately (as evidenced by the lack of posts). Well, earlier today I took a page out of the Super Art Fight playbook and asked the folks on twitter to Wheel-of-Death me. And boy did I get some interesting responses (but that’s for later posts). The drawing above came from my buddy and fellow illustrator Lee Cherolis. He suggested I find someone I’m not familiar with and draw their caricature. I’ve never considered caricatures a strength and it’s been a long time since I tried so I took it as a good idea.
Now at the time I was listening to the latest MacBreak Weekly podcast and I realized that even though I subscribe to his blog, daringfireball.net I had no idea what guest John Gruber looked like. So five seconds later and a tappity-tap on google I had my resource photos. Shortly after that, what you see above.
