Sir Michael Caine


Now that school is out FOREVER, I thought it would be nice to draw something else besides slang words and bones for a change. So what you see here is an editorial style portrait of Sir Michael Caine. I saw the trailer for Harry Brown a few weeks ago, and I got so excited that I had to do a portrait of Mr. Caine. For inspiration I looked up a few movie reviews for Harry Brown, and most of them mention Caine's awesome performance and concluded that the man just get better with age. So my portrait is a take on a photograph of Michael Caine from 1965, at the height of his career, sporting his "signature look", except he is a little older now, and has a few Sam Singh modifications.

The original photograph is black and white, so initially I started my piece thinking it would end as a black and white piece. Unfortunately I'm a lover of color, so I could not resist the temptation. But I really love the black and white version just as much. I'll let you guys be the judge of which one looks better. Enjoy!
