A caricature of Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow by Celeste Cordova

Those of you who check back regularly might notice that we just posted a Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow caricature over in Dominiques gallery.  What can I say?  Both Celeste and Dominique decided she was a worthy subject, and both drew her the same week.  It’s fun to compare… Celeste Cordova has been with us drawing caricatures for five years now, and is becoming a master of exaggerating while keeping a likeness.  Her drawings are growing more complex and unforgiving.  Dominique has been at it for two years, and she’s much kinder to her subjects.  Caricature artists tire of their own drawings after a while, and seek new ways to keep them interesting.

Something to appreciate about Scarlett Johansson is her nontraditional beauty.  The obtusely turned-up nose, the extra long upper lip and chin, and the fairly large teeth are all features that could combine badly… but on her face, they don’t.
