ZAYNE MALIK,JUSTIN BIEBER CARICATURES FIR MTV<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On April 3, 2015 I had the pleasure of being commissioned by MTV to do a caricature spot entitled "Caricature In The News" (they shorted the title when the spot aired) my job was to draw music Celebs Jay Z, justin Beiber, Krewella, and Zayne Malik in humorous settings based on what they'd all done the previous week. MTV was impressed with work I'd done previously wit BET's show, "106 & Park" where I caricatured Hip Hop Celebs, P Diddy, Lil' Wayne,Kay e West, and Ciara to promote the Wolverine Origins movie. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The shoot took three hours to film, and was condensed into thirty action packed seconds! LOL!</div>

<br />
In perpetration for the shoot, I did a series of concept drawings featured below, so that when I came in to draw I wouldn't waste and valuable studio time trying to come up with a concept. Although the studio liked the drawings they only required the black and white ones for their spot.</div>

My job was to demonstrate the capabilities of their Surface Pro drawing tablet using their FRESH PAINT App. The job was a lot of fun as I drew shoppers who braved a major snowstorm at the time! As I drew on the Surface Pro my work was shown on a giant screen opposite the Microsoft Store in the Mall.<br />
<br />
I appreciated the help I got from the Staff at the Microsoft Store so much that I drew several of them on my Ipad Art Studio App as thanks for a wonderful time Just to clear up any confusion I drew these caricatures OFF SITE and NOT on the actual job. To use an APPLE product and Software on a Microsoft job would have been tasteless, disrespectful and stupid not to mention rude! As Ive done with many of my clients after a satisfying job, I will draw mini gift caricatures of them as a way of thanking them. Since I d not personally own Surface Pro or Fresh Paint i simply used what I had available , namely the Ipad and Art studio. In no way was this meant to be a DIS to the People at Microsoft. Here are some of the pictures.<br />
<br />
The "OH! What FUN! " Phrase was the stores tag line for the Holiday Season.<br />

<i><b>Let me start off by saying that I personally do not like to draw Zombie
caricatures. It's disturbing to me drawing stuff that's "supposed to be dead".
However I realize that this type of caricature drawing is gaining popularity,
and since I'm committed to teaching you how to become a better, more
commercially viable caricature artist, I've decided to share with you my insight
( though limited) on the subject.</b></i>
I was recently asked by a client if I knew how to do "Zombie Caricatures" .
Being the entrepreneur that I am, of course I said, "yes I do!" promptly booked
the job, and proceeded to learn how to do it.
<b>LEARN FROM THE BEST</b>
when you want to learn anything, you ought to learn from the best. And IMO the
very best at doing Zombie Caricatures is SEAN GARDNER .
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Caricatures/160904467284444" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.22em; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Caricatures/160904467284444</a>
To my knowledge, Sean is either the founder of this Zombie Caricature Movement,
or at the very least the one who popularized it, and is most associated with it.
I realize that I'm doing a tutorial on this, but if you want to see how the
MASTER does it, please check out Sean.
That's what I did.
<b>HERES WHAT I LEARNED FROM SEAN</b>
Keep in mind, when I saw I learned from Sean, what I mean is that I watched what
he did, and studied his artwork. This is one of the ways artists learn. It's
called (by me) the "Monkey see,Monkey do" method.
<b>YOUR FOUNDATION MUST BE SOLID</b>
Just because you're doing Zombie caricatures does NOT. Mean that you neglect
the basics. What I mean by the basics is knowing basic facial anatomy, knowing
bone structure of the skull, knowing how to color, and shade, and most
importantly, <b>HOW TO DRAW A DECENT RECOGNIZABLE LIKENESS.</b> A Zombie caricature
uses a <b>RECOGNIZABLE</b> likeness of a person as a point of <b>DEPARTURE.</b> If your
caricature of your subject doesn't look like them drawing them normally, it
certainly won't resemble them if you exaggerate them as a Zombie.
Having said that, and assuming that you can first draw a recognizable likeness
of your subject normally, doing Zombie caricatures is easy and a lotta fun!
Here's why....
<b>THERES NO "RIGHT WAY" TO DO THIS!!</b>
After viewing the variety of Zombie caricatures on Seans FACEBOOK page,
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Caricatures/160904467284444" style="color: blue; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.22em; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Caricatures/160904467284444</a>. I noticed
immediately how different and varied each one was. There were pictures of
Zombies who had bullet holes in their head, others had eyeballs missing, some
had the tops of their skulls blown off exposing their brains, still others had
foreign objects like pencils, spears, arrows, hatchets, even cell phones
embedded in their skin and skulls. It became clear that in this particular form
of caricature, your imagination could truly run not just wild, but amuck! And
it made total sense!
<b>ZOMBIE "BASICS"</b>
It seems contradictory to discuss "basics" after telling you that your
imagination could run wild,but I assure you, these basics are what give you the
freedom to let your imagination run wild. In the Zombie world the human body
is in a state of slow decomposition. As a result, each face is going to reflect
that I various degrees. A face that you decide has been decaying longer is gonna
be very different looking than one that has recently started.
COLOR
Remember, your subject is not supposed to be living" so replace the normal
proverbial rosy cheeks with a gray pallor. or pasty white, or moldy green or a
dull yellow. Remember that if you're drawing blood you can also you different
shades of red. "dried blood" is a lot darker than "new blood"
<b>INJURIES</b>
Remember, your Zombie is an...er.. Individual in that their experiences are
unique to them. So your Zombie may have a cracked skull because he tripped
pursuing someone, another may have a spear through hus neck because someone
threw it at them, etc. Etc. Which drawing try to come up with a story" why your
Zombie looks the way they do. This is not a rule written in stone, it just makes
drawing it a little more fun to do.
<b>DRAWING ZOMBIES LIVE</b>
Granted, it's a daunting task to draw Zombie caricatures at a live event with
people watching in five minutes or less. To do this requires that you visualize
on the spot the way you're going to jack up the persons face, then you execute
what you've visualized , all the while maintaining a likeness of the person. But
it can be done! The method I've used is to initially draw the caricature
perfectly without a single flaw. After I've done this, I then add things like
bullet holes, rips and tears in the skin, etc. Remember when you were a kid and
you used to take a marker and deface photographs? (I hope you're not doing this
as adults!) you'd blacken out eyes and teeth, maybe draw a mustache or beard.
It's the exact same idea. But there's still an even better way to make you
drawings freaky looking.

<b>DRAWING ZOMBIE GIFT CARICATURES</b>
Gift caricatures are commissioned drawings where clients send you photo
references to caricature. The fact that they're not right in front of you
waiting for the drawing immediately takes all the stress out of it.
Start off by drawing a perfect likeness of your subject. You can choose to do an
exaggerated picture or simply a "cartoon portrait" it doesn't matter. Next, if
you're satisfied with this initial drawing, take a sheet of tracing paper and
trace the original drawing defacing it as you go. What's great about this method
is that you can absolutely keep the original lines because you're tracing it,
and you have the advantage of taking your time doing it. This is exactly what I
did with the caricature you see.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2KrsAYYetNw/UeYY6L1G09I/AAAAAAAAGB0/PBNA58g9b0Y/s1600/zom+blondie.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2KrsAYYetNw/UeYY6L1G09I/AAAAAAAAGB0/PBNA58g9b0Y/s1600/zom+blondie.png" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<b>NOW GO OUT THERE AND SCARE PEOPLE!</b>
Like any other. Art form, the more you practice, the better you'll be able to do
it. Drawing Zombies may be difficult at first, but once you get into it, your
creativity will take over and pretty soon you'll develop your own style. Doing
Zombie caricatures is a great addition to your caricature toolbox, especially
around Halloween, Frat Parties, parties in Bars, the possibilities are limited
to your imagination.

Sifu Riddick was my first instructor back in the 70's when the martial arts was something you studied when you wanted to take your life into your hands. The instructors were brutal and harsh as most of them were ex military men from Vietnam. I dont know if Sifu Riddick was a vet, but he sure was pretty intimidating. He was also a bodybuilder and compared to a chubby 11 year old boy which I was, he seemed like the incredible hulk only sporting an Afro and Shades.<br />

<br />
Sifu Riddick was a fitness fanatic and drilled his students hard on calisthenics making us do endless laps around the gym, not to mention push ups and situps until you felt like puking and after you were totally exhausted and feverish... THEN we would do our Gung Fu Training!.... I loved every minute of it. As I got older I found out that he was an outstanding activist in the Fort Greene/Pratt Institutecommunity where the school was located and taught other arts like drawma and drumming.<br />

Its also great fun for the artist to challenge himself by drawing in a style that hes comparitively speaking, unfamiliar. In this picture my using a cartoony abstract style.<br />

Not only does it break up the monotony of drawing everyone the same way, but Ive found that some faces lend themselves to one style more than another. Ive drawn people whose faces practically scream the word, "CARTOON!" while others lend themselves more to photorealism , and still others scream "EXAGGERATE ME!" this guy, who I call Big Red, had the best of both worlds going. He originally thought Id just caricature his NOSE mainly, but I told hijm he had much more going on in his face!<br />

I wouldnt want a bad caricature to haunt him as one of his parishioners in the future would be bound to dig up the picture one day! On myself however, I had no mercySome would call this self hate.....<br />

Cant believe I just found out about the amazingly talented European caricature artist Marcelo Guerra. Not only are his cartoon caricatures a throwback from the 1950s slash 60s retro which I adore, but his personal flair and style of dress make him instantly recognizable and is an excellent form of personal marketing and branding. initially i wrote him to draw MY caricature but couldn't help drawing HIS first!<br />

Far Rockaway, a coastal community took an especially hard hit. Sandy ruined millions of dollars of beach front property, including boardwalks, summer homes, local businesses, and oh yeah, transportation.For me, the devastation is particularly bad because as a self employed artist, I have to live daily with the aura of misery, depression, anger and despair that lingers in the air, and can be seen on the faces of the residents who have no where to go. one of the sadness things for me to face is that THE WAVE NEWSPAPER where I worked as an editorial illustrator, is GONE. washed away like so much junk down a drain. if by some miracle it survived, I haven't heard anything.<br />
<br />
following is the last picture I did for the paper. I dont even know if they got it. its my intention to put this illustration on a series of promo products including shirts in order to raise money for the relief effort, people affected by this tragedy, including myself.<br />
<br />
im asking you to please not plagiarize this illustration in the effort to make a buck off of my work, and to take advantage of a situation. Please stay tuned for more details. Thanks so much.<br />
