Inktober 2018 Day 17: Swollen

in #art6 years ago

Another #Inktober prompt that could be interpreted in many ways. I thought of a swollen head and guess who came to mind! The current US president seems most concerned with himself and not with matters that he should really be worrying about. We get to see just how fragile his ego is as he spews out every thought on Twitter. I would encourage you to not actually follow him there as he loves all the attention. I think it's terrible that such a powerful man uses his position to personally abuse those he doesn't like. Who would think that a Twitter troll would get to be president? I could write daily posts with my thoughts on what he's up to, but it pains me to even think about him.

Anyway, this is my first attempt at a satirical caricature. I think it's just about recognisable. There's a whole art in exaggerating features like this.

I hope I can raise a smile :)

I knew exactly what it was as soon as I saw it and I wanted to turn my monitor off immediately! Glad to hear that you hold the same opinion as the majority of people in the US.

It's a shame that wasn't reflected in the election results. It scares me that some think he could win again

Sadly if you look at the comments on most news sites you will find there is a large population in our country that is absolutely fine with him and think he is doing a great job. It is a scary time to be alive.

I thought the drawing was far too complementary of his physique :P

Several more pounds of lard needed, at least his hair was as thin as his policies.

I think the majority of the world shares your opinion.

No yellow pen for the hair?

I decided to go for minimal colour and I had a red pen to hand

Yellow biro's are quite rare, I suppose I could let you off ;)

No orange pen for the face?

I didn't have an orange pen handy. He is an odd colour, but then he's generally odd

Was instantly recognisable without reading your post. I try to avoid reading any news about that man.

Whenever I hear his name I think 'what now?'
