A second attempt at Ed Miliband, not an easy one this, however I have noticed that with this sort of caricature once you settle on an image there is a sense in which peoples perception of the subject subtly changes to include the caricature in the recognition of the subject.

Rising to the challenge of drawing Ed Miliband
A second attempt at Ed Miliband, not an easy one this, however I have noticed that with this sort of caricature once you settle on an image there is a sense in which peoples perception of the subject subtly changes to include the caricature in the recognition of the subject.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
Best stick to your constant moaning to TDC rather than drawing Michael!
ReplyDelete11.43 so you don’t think some sort of caricature cartoon of the local paper editor and cabinet members dealing with the leaked emails and the cancelled fireworks would be a good idea then?
ReplyDeleteThe second drawing looks like a younger Prince Edward
ReplyDeleteSee what you mean Tim, I had an initial go at Nick Clegg last night and decided that his mouth was fitted upside-down or something.
ReplyDeleteI will eventually get a look that I am happy with for all the major politicians, however this business of extracting what makes people look like they do for the purposes of caricature is a tricky one, especially as the leaders of the three main parties are fairly featureless.
