3. Rooney Mara


Leafed through a magazine and randomly picked a photo.  This was before the whole Lisbeth Salander thing so I had no idea who she was.   I just wanted to draw a random person, I didn’t care who.

This is a straight-up caricature, David Levine style.  Big head, little body, cross-hatching, and decorative line work.  It was fun to do and I finished it pretty quickly.  I considered it good practice, which I needed badly. 

I wasn’t going to do 100 portraits of my friends and family, as that would get very old, very quickly, aside from being mathematically impossible and emotionally exhausting.
