Really nice work, Kenny. You did it all without a pencil sketch? I read recently where you said you don't use pencil on the caricatures, so just asking about this one...
To clarify, when I draw other artists or occasionally at gigs (and in this case, myself) I do draw with a pencil. It's a way for me to break out, exaggerate and experiment. However, for retail caricatures, I never pencil. Drawing straight up in marker increases my speed and really "wows" the guests when they see that I do it without a pencil. Dropping the pencil also creates more confident lines and exercises my creative muscles. I like improvising "without a net". It's like falling down the stairs and landing on your feet.
