Madeleine Albright caricature
Some time ago I made caricatures for the Flemish children's magazines 'Kits' and 'Klap', both published by Uitgeverij De Eenhoorn. A total of 141 assignments over the course of 17 years, all in my spare time.
This drawing about Madeleine Albright was my 75th assignment.
Madeleine Albright was the Secretary of State of the United States.
She flew around the world, from government to government, in the service of President Clinton.
She passed away recently, March 23, 2022. Maybe you heard it on the news?
Painted in real size (A4 format), gouache (and colored pencils) on paper.

An overview of my creation process:
As usual, the assignment was discussed by telephone. I took notes and made a first draft sketch...
Later I tried some variations...
... but in the end I kept my first sketch. I enlarged it 150% with the copy machine.
... a bit more of a neat drawing...
... I made a nicer plane here ...
... then a quick color test with colored pencil on a photocopy 50 % ...
... and finally the publication in the Flemish children's magazine KLAP.

That's the way it was back then... at least that's how I did it.
I hope you found it interesting.
