Caricature - Julia Child

For the sake of posting often, here's a quick caricature I did of Julia Child.



Her smile was the most difficult part for me. When confronted with someone with a downturned smile, I'm always tempted to force the tips of the mouth up. But it's as good as drawing a lie! (Not to mention it hurts the likeness)

As a half-Amazonian myself, I love her towering height, and played that up by cutting off the top of her head.

The bright yellow background is simply a reflection of her warm personality.

If I ever revise/finish this, I'll put some food in there. :)
