There had been a brief period when I didn't appreciate caricature drawing or sketching at all, when I was very young, still a child. Somehow, and I don't know how and why I began to like it. David Llamas is certainly one of my favourite artists. Here are some of his caricatures of a few famous and most known faces, that need no name under each for you to recognise. But I would put down their names anyway, in the order of left to right, top to bottom, although I am sure that's not really necessary.
Clint Eastwood, Alfred Hitchcock, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Jimmi Hendrik, Harrison Ford, Chris Martin, Anthony Hopkins, Bono.
Pity there are so few artists drawing female caricature faces. I understand their reluctance to do so though. Women are much fussier about their public images. If you make them look much more beautiful than they actually are, or so very alluring beyond recognition, never problems or rejections. But if you show them with even one single hair out of place, they will get furious and never forgive you. Mostly, men just laugh and enjoy them however ridiculous you make them look. I admire that part of their character.
