The eyes and the eyebrows are very good and to some extent the cheeks work too along with the colouring. I suppose the mark of a good caricature is can you tell who it is without a name?

Oh and where's the dirty tan mac and pointing finger (just one more thing)? ;)

Yep your right I shouldn't have put his name and asked for people to guess, would you have known without the name?...

I immediately recognized him. And you didn't paint this over a photo? Kudos man. I think you did an amazing job.

Good idea, I might try that some time. Which Wacom tablet are you using? I'm thinking of buying an Intuos5 but I'm not sure what size I should get.

At the moment I'm using a Bamboo but like you I am getting an Intuos5, I am going for the small I used to have an Intuos2 A4 size but didn't get on with it to well to much arm movement to get to corners. The Bamboo has served me well but the new Intuos5 will definitely have the edge when it comes to delicate work... The small works for me it's not the price difference it must be just the way I like to work...

If you are a digital artist and are used to large sweeping movements with the hand, go crazy and get a large. If you are a little more reserved like me, I only use it for dodging and burning I have a 8x6 tablet (small to medium) as I really only use a couple of inches of it at most.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be using it mostly for masking and retouching, not so much for digital artwork. So I'm going for the medium size. Thanks again :)
