3 Masked Men

Okay this was a challenge I took upon myself.

I used to work as a caricature artist. While I liked my co workers and the job...I hated how I had to draw. I was expected to draw a caricature in less than 5 mins. and as much as I tried I could not make the super exaggerated features and expressions that my fellow artists were really good at. Plus there was a sense of performance that was expected, and after having two separate kids cry and throw fits after they saw their sketch ..I wasn't too enthralled with the idea of drawing caricatures for a living.

But I still like doing it. So I thought about doing Phantom ones but you have the issues of drawing a) the same mask. b) the same makeup/hair c) the same general overall look of the character. So i wanted to see if I could draw caricatures of three separate actors in their make-up and mask and still make them look unique. The result is above.

Not to say these are my favorite phantoms of all time (but I do like performances of each of them) The only reason why I picked them was because they are so recognizable in the fandom.


SO... I want to know what YOU think!
