Daniel Day Lewis, for Caricaturama Showdown 3000

The March 2011 Caricaturama Showdown 3000 Sharon Stone Contest's winner, Thierry COQUELET who was in charge to choose the next target for his world fellows caricaturists has given us a great challenge : The British-born actor Daniel Day Lewis. Tough character and interesting face, as usual. I started with quick brushpen sketches from a quite good ref pics serie, on many sheets of paper. My first idea was to realize it in Photoshop, using my sketch as a basic frame, then adding colors with the mouse. This was my first attempt submitted to Caicaturama, but I was all but satisfied with the result. So next day, I delete it and decided to work in a more spontaneous way of drawing : Working with a Ballpoint in a little sheet of paper, just as foe a thumbnail sketch. Then I added some colors with my Art Stix Prismacolor and submitted the final result.
