During all the excitement I had last Friday night while trying to up my vote totals I grabbed a spare piece of paper and starting doodling this guy. In my usual fashion I started without really knowing where the drawing was heading. The next thing I knew he turned into a cowboy, and the the cowboy was upgraded to sheriff. After shading the feller in with my usual crosshatching I decided that I liked it so well I would add some color. Next came the dog and more color. Finally, I figured the Sheriff needed a town. I only wished that I had added a horse so that I could say he was he sheriff of a "one horse town."
I really, really like how this doodle turned out. In fact it's up there as one of my favorites. I just like how the whole thing turned out. I wished that I could express this kind of freedom when I do my caricatures, but I feel bound down when I draw those. The one or two times that I've tried to add my own "flair" to a caricature I sensed that the client was less than enthused with my work. Still, I try. What do you think?

So, my mom used to live in a tiny town in New Mexico a while ago and I honestly think I met this guy there once. He has so much character that I can almost imagine what his voice would sound like. Great doodle, as always, Rick!
Heh - I think I know this guy!
Don't you love it when arbitrary scribbling turns into something cool? Ncie work, friend :)
