Sketchbook 5/6: Prince Caricature

…And here’s an inked and colored version of my sketchbook image from yesterday.  It’s lost a little in the eyes area, I think–but still an OK drawing, especially for me since likenesses aren’t my strong suit.

Actually, I kind of like how that turned out… maybe I’ll ink it.

I’ll do a quick post on FCBD Saturday (May 1st) when you can go to the Jaberwacky site and download the book for free (naturally!) as a PDF or CBZ–or just read the whole thing online.
