My name is Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant, Police Squad. There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West Side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate holdups of neighborhood credit unions.
I started this portrait of Leslie Nielsen as a demo for my students in Advanced Drawing for Animators - i asked them for a suggestion for someone to caricature, and this was the first name I got. Really had a blast working on this, he had such a great deadpan face and recognizable features. I worked on it a few hours in class, and a few hours later in the week. All told, a pretty quick monochrome Photoshop painting, 7 or 8 hours total. Enjoy!
