Bill Murray Caricature FAIL - Then SUCCESS!!

I have always wanted to do a caricature of Bill Murray. He has a glint in his eye that is particularly hard to capture. Here is a little bit about him.

William James Murray was born in September 1950. He first gained recognition in the TV hit show, "Saturday Night Live" for which he won an Emmy award.

Bill Murray's movies include: "Meatballs", "Caddyshack", "Stripes", "Tootsie", "Ghostbusters" ( 1 and 2) " What about Bob?", "Groundhog Day", and a more serious role in "Lost in Translation" which earned him a Golden Globe, BAFTA and an Academy nomination.

I found an image and proceeded to draw. The result was less than ideal. I simply could NOT get his likeness right nor the naughty look in his eye!

It reminded me of an old farmer, fatigued and tired. All said and done, it wasn't working.
I put the image aside and carried on with my other work and waited until I felt more inspired.
I started again and this time, I felt that I had stumbled on a better likeness. The mouth worked and the overall shape was a lot better.

Once I had the gesture right, I proceeded to add in more detail: This was WORKING!!

Then, I chose a skin tone background and....

.....experimented with subtle skin shades to give some realism to the image

Then, finally, I added a green background, added some detail and placed the image into my Steemit post.

I hope you enjoyed this attempt and please comment and suggest some other caricatures.....
