Commission Work: Caricature "Big Chuck"

I was commissioned recently by a friend to do a caricature piece for a Father's Day gift. I really enjoy doing these personal pieces for people, and am always interested in commission work of any kind. I did this piece for the equivalent of two tanks of gasoline. I started by sketching the image in pencil on a 9" x 12" bristol board. Then I used markers to rough in the color. I worked with prismacolor pencils, ink, opaque white, and even a little acrylic paint in the sky to finish. The car is a 69' Camaro SS, and a favorite of the subject "Big Chuck".

Contrary to rumor, the man depicted is not my father.
