Caricatures by Andy

This illustration/caricature focuses on the imaginative creative writing of the subject. So there was a lot of scope for fantasy imagery but i had to be careful that this imaginative stuff didn't overpower the main focus, the subject!

I had started to do everything in full colour before I had the inspiration to 'knock-back' the imaginative thought 'balloon'.

This helps to give the picture the right balance, 

so that the subject is still the main focus, and it also suggests the illusive nature of the imagination. The picture was finally used for a book jacket cover, which gave me the opportunity for some graphic design.
