*Updated the sketch and I'm much happier with the likeness on this one...now I'll tighten it up
This is Michael Phelps' moment and he has definitely risen to the occassion so far! I'm sure there will be many caricatures of him after Bejing...and although I'm not too happy with this one it's an incentive to attempt him again.
I also added a few other rough sketches should anyone care to add a little C&C.

I love rough sketches, it shows how peoploe study, and that's what it's all about, don't you think?
The one of the spanish actor, what did you do there, did you use different pieces of paper?
The last one is Robert de Niro, right? Very loose and subtle, I think
I thought the last one was Richard Gere...
Phelps - fucking great drawing as always.
He has a particular look about him that you see quite often.
He looks like a peasant - it's easy to imagine him with a cowl and covered in mud...
Your "Michael Phelps" is really good and funny!.. congratulations!.. your blog is really good!..

Yeah I love to see other people's prelim sketches along with the final pieces...you can see how they thought about the drawing.
...and the Bardem is multiple pieces of paper taped together (Jolie and DeNiro too). I keep these small 3x5 scratch pads by my computer and sometimes the drawings need to expand...I know poor planning. I think Tom Fluharty does the same thing since I can see tape marks on some of his scans also.

Thanks, now I'll see Gere everytime I look at it :)
Cheers!

Hey...thanks much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I had a chance to look at your blog as well...wonderful, wonderful work!!
That Phelps caricature is spot-on perfect!
Thanks Sam, appreciate it...but I really do hate it!
Amazing :D
De Niro's eyes are a bit like Peter Falk (Columbo).
The only reamark I have on that one. I know he's difficult, I've never doen him myself.
It's a pleasure for me see your cartoons when they were born, and to see growing step by step after.
