Iraq effort political cartoon
Scott Waguespack

Posted on 05/30/2004 5:48:19 PM PDT by Sofa King



All right, I've decided to try my hand at political cartoons. This is my first, so it's a bit rough. Yes, that's supposed to be Bush.

This is what the rest of my art looks like. I need to adapt it to a more cartoonish style, though.

Very good, IMHO. Everyone has a different style, but this is strong and all of a piece. That looks a lot more like Bush than the horrible caricature the Dems put out.

Bush doesn't look a whole lot like Bush, but horse face Kerry, looks exactly like himself.

Very good political sattire.

Looks like it went over very well. The inking job is great, and I like the text.

Can you add in any gray to your picture? I think it could help. For example, you could make Bush's hair gray.

It would be better if you had an offer to replace mike lukovich. It's pretty neat. Keep it up!

Depends on how I do it. I could add shades of gray when I'm doing the digital editing (re-sizing the image, etc.), but if I'm going to do that I might as well go all the way and color it.

What I probably should do is learn how to do shading with the ink (ie, filling an area with thin parallel or criss-cross lines). Of course, I could also use charcoal instead of ink.

I'll just have to figure out my style as I go along.
