Asked for help
First submission here for me. I decided to study a caricature done by Mort Drucker of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone in The Godfather.
I have always found the work done by the MAD artists super fascinating and inspiring.
I know we weren't supposed to shade, but I couldn't resist my self in some areas. The drawing is blocked-in with the Loomis method, I used a 0.45 mm Pigma Micron and a fine brush pen for the line studies. Should probably used a thinner fineliner some places.
This is gonna be a fun project to revisit.

I'm a big fan of both Loomis and Drucker, so really appreciated seeing your Brando line study today. Good work! My only constructive critique would to be to keep an eye on the relationships of the lines, shorter neck, distance between forehead lines to side hairline, etc. so that we can feel more of the heft of this character. While it's still very clear who it is, this slight difference makes him appear more slender and posh, akin to a David Niven character. You're close, however, and it's still a wonderful rendering. I hope to see more of these from you!
