Caricature for Nelly B Page:
This week I thought I show you some of the other work I've been doing whilst working on the vintage tattoo project: See post for 3rd Feb 2009
I was recently commissioned by Oxford DJ Nelly B Page to create a caricature to promote her upcoming spot on OX4 Radio 87.9 FM. Nelly also DJ's at Trashy in Oxford's new Carling Academy every Saturday in the Zodiac Room. She is a busy bunny!
I wanted to convey a feeling of 60's glamour as Nelly is well known for her BIG hair and retro styles, but also I thought this was a great way to get across that this is a DJ with a difference. She plays a wide range of music and is well knowledged about all things popular culture, just ask her, go on I dare you!
I started off by doing some rough sketches and ended up choosing this one which I thought had a lot of appeal:

As you can see, I couldn't decide how her rigth foot should look at first. It took a bit of shuffling about and sitting in that position to figure it out. I then inked in the outline:
I then drew out a vintage style record player on a seperate sheet and scanned it in. I used tracing paper to get the size correct. Once I had it right I then tranferred it to the image of the figure and printed it out. I used only three colours in this drawing as I wanted to keep it simple and punchy:
I just had to clean the image up and add a few finishing touches and it was finished as you can see above (right at the start).
