Daily Coronacature- Tina Turner!

Here’s my sketch of the immortal Tina Turner, which I guess is not just for “The Daily Coronacature” or a “Sketch o’the Week”, but part of my “Classic Rock” series also… a three-fer! Original sketch is available in the Studio Store as usual.

This drawing is a good example of how a subject’s “physicality” can be an important part of their caricature. Tina of course has the massive hair, squinty eyes, big cheeks, etc, but she’s as much known for her dancing/poses and long legs when she performs. In fact, she has wide hips and kind of a thick waist that makes her torso seem squat and accentuates the length of her legs even more. All things that can be exaggerated when drawing her body and capturing the shoulders back, arched, leaning to one side and legs slightly pigeon-toed posture she has when she’s belting out the notes.
