Fishman Phelps...

Yep... This be my attempt at the ever so popular, record-breaking, orangutan-armed, swim guy Michael Phelps. I think I did alright. I did the rough sketch while waiting in the doctor's office today from the cover of Sports Illustrated. Then, I inked it without reference at my dad's place while half way watching Duel on his DVR. Then, I colored it at my apartment with a reference again. WTF.

I tried to drew him before a couple weeks ago, but I hated it. I blame the lack of good reference photos...

Since drawing this was so much fun, I think I'm gonna try to draw celebrity caricatures way more often.

good stuff. I love the way you use those markers. I think you missed one thing though, there needs to be some bling around that neck of his.
