David Hockney? Even if I'm wrong I like it a lot!

Instantly recognisable as Hockney, great caricature.

Spot on Lewis! Mind you, the yellow, round rimmed glasses are a giveaway

Great image of him Lew, certainly recognisable!

Ah well, that's a relief. Thanks for your comments. By it's nature a caricature requires distortion, so when I attempt them there's always a doubt that they will still look like the subject.

Instantly recognisable as David Hockney! Great painting, love the bright colours, reminiscent of Hockney’s work.

Attempt at caricature. I like trying these but find them difficult, I either 'get' them or I don't. I thought I had this one at the drawing stage, but felt he was slipping away when I added colour. So you end up thinking 'will anybody know who this is'...I guess I'll find out. Mostly gouache with a little coloured pencil.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
