Sketch o’the Week
February 15th, 2012 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week
This week’s sketch subject is multiple-Grammy winning singer Adele, who is a major celebrity around the Richmond household. She is The Lovely Anna‘s favorite, and my kids are all musically gifted singers and musicians who appreciate great talents. Adele is a great talent, no question. You need only look at the Grammy performances to see that. While Rhianna, Nikki Minaj and others had elaborate productions and stageshows, Adele needed only a microphone and a spotlight, and blew them all away. The Richmond clan are big fans, so I spent a little longer than usual on this sketch as a result . . . although I still got a dirty look from Anna because I drew Adele “too fat” in her opinion.

Excellent!
Great likeness. Yeah Brandee and I are huge fans too. I think Adele has slimmed down a bit recently too. Noticed that at the Grammy’s.
Nice to know our wives are our biggest critics and not afraid to tell us.
Big Fans here as well Tom! Bought her CD “21” months ago & can’t stop listening to it, but SHHHHHHish, don’t tell my friends, I’ve been a Eric Clapton, and southern rock fan since the 70’s! lol, Great sketch Tom, her size is fine!
Phenomenal sketch! Phenomenal talent! And I’m quite relieved, Tom, to see that I’m not the only one who thinks Adele has ridiculously tiny hands, LOL…
yes, that is typical of larger women, and a trick if you want to make someone look fat without resorting to drawing them like Jabba the Hutt… give them tiny hands and feet.
Great likeness!, maybe she looks fat because of a swollen wisdom tooth? ;P
You drew her perfectly! Who said anything about ‘too fat’?
