I decided to try painting the lead from a different cable TV series. Here’s my take on Anna Paquin from True Blood. This took about 8 hours, from start to finish.

A couple of artists I respect over on The Drawing Board, suggested I continue to work on the hair and background for my caricature of Michael C. Hall. I think that was a pretty good idea overall. Painting realistic looking hair is hard, but like anything else, the only way you can improve is to dive in and work at it.

This is only the second digital painting I’ve done. It’s the main character from one of my favorite TV shows, Dexter. All Photoshop. About 5 hours from start to finish.

Here’s the final version of the illustration I posted earlier. This is for a DJ’s online radio show.

Here’s a sneak peak at the central illustration from a design job I’m doing for a client. I’ll post more about this job once the client gives me his okay (I hope).

Caricature of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

Over at the T-shirt site Design by Humans (http://www.designbyhumans.com), they’re running a concert to design a T-shirt in honor of the hip hop artist Lil Wayne’s new album. Here’s my submission, “Get Over”, inspired by the lyrics to one of the songs on the album.

I’m a recent convert to Twitter, and I have to say I love it (follow me at http://twitter.com/markdraws).

So instead I decided to take it to the opposite extreme.
