Tom’s Daily Coronacature- Deborah Harry!

Here’s my caricature of today’s subject, “Blondie” lead singer Deborah Harry.

Deborah is a famously beautiful woman, but that does not mean she’s hard to caricature. Beautiful people are beautiful for a reason. They have aspects to their look and “presence” that causes people to find them beautiful. These are the things you want to identify and exaggerate.

She has very large, prominent cheekbones and a wide jaw, which creates a very wide and squat feel to her face shape. She has a small, slightly upturned nose. The main focus of her sexy look is the heavy, sleepy lidded eyes and the high arch of her upper lip that contrasts with the very straight across lower lip. This gives her the soft, “about to kiss you” look to her mouth. She also has very dark eyebrows.
