Some actors are easy to caricature – especially comic actors.
You know the ones. Charlie Chaplin,
Stan Laurel and…
They are often known for their physical comedic skills, which is probably why they are so easy to caricature. I thought I’d emphasise Carrey’s ability to move his body flexibly. A bit like in this scene. From one of my favourite films The Mask
How could I not reference THAT in a caricature.
So, who shall I do next?
Well this is Jim Carrey. Not my best likeness by a long chalk but quite a pleasing result nonetheless. It has not been a productive few days from the portrait/caricature front. The oil paintings are going quite well, but they're a still life and landscape. I've been playing with ripple effects in oil, as you can see below. 
I think I prefer the bottom one. I was intending to work them more but something about the simple rendering of the shapes was quite appealing. These were done about 2 weeks ago but I've only just felt happy about putting them on the scanner bed, oil takes soooooooooo long to dry! Definitely a watery them going on today. I can't say that I consciously planned things that way! Just a process of evolution I suppose.
