Matthew McConaughey Caricature

Caricature of Matthew McConaughey by Tielman Cheaney

Mathew McConaughey

When I was drawing this caricature, about three people walked past and said “Oh!  Owen Wilson!”  I thought I had a great likeness of Matthew McConaughey.  Caricatures can be frustrating.

If you’re drawing someone from a straight-on, frontal view, they’d better have an amazing face shape from that direction.  Matthew McConaughey does have a big, kind of square head, but I think it was a mistake to draw him from this angle.  His brow is so prominent and the straight shot doesn’t show that.  A 3/4 angle would capture more interesting details.
