I’ve decided that if I ever intend to produce Fair Use TV, I need to get off my butt and get my art skillz up to par. I’ve always had trouble producing likenesses of actual people, so I’m going to try to make more of an attempt to get good at it. When you realize that FU TV is comprised entirely of likenesses of actual people, and that my voice impressions are even worse than my art, you begin to realize that the visuals will have to carry the brunt of the recognition factor to the table. (This is of course leaving context out of the equation; I have high hopes that the context will be able to give me a little bit of recognition factor boost, because as you’ll soon see, I need every bit of help I can get.)
With that in mind, I’m going to be posting my craptastic attempts at likenesses and caricatures here. The idea being that my embarrassment will help motivate me into getting better at it. Here’re tonights results:
Here’s my attempt at Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.
Stephen Colbert came out more like Sally Jesse Raphael :(.
This is the only one that I think is remotely decent, and I only found it in my sketchbook tonight, I actually did it a few months ago. In case you can’t tell — which is extremely likely — this is supposed to be Penn Jillette.
