Barack Obama

I've been waiting to see who the democratic nominee would be so I could finish up my little presidential candidate diptych.  However, if Pennsylvania doesn't solve things, which it surely wont, we could be waiting until August for an answer.  So, in lieu of sitting around until then I opted to just draw up both Obama and Clinton.  I've had this Obama sketch done for about two weeks or so and was sitting on it for no apparent reason, but I decided it was time to post it. 

 The McCain sketch I was happy with after my first try, Obama here took two tries to get right.  And from the look of things Hillary will be taking at least three.  I should get around to a good Hillary sketch this weekend, honestly I will, I swear.



Here is a quick rough color comp.  for your viewing pleasure. He's still lacking arms and a concept but those things will come soon enough.

This is great Steve. If Hillary doesn't win by 25 points tomorrow than I don't think you will have to worry about drawing her... though I'd love to see another illustration from you!
