Self Portrait

Drawing a caricature is not easy. I tried, in color or in black and white, both took me forever to make. All from a photograph. I admire those drawing artists who can draw a caricature live on the spot, who use a few lines to capture a face they just meet in a matter of minutes. I found this old caricature of me in 1989 by Pramono, an artist who did a lot of political cartoon in a newspaper back then. I love the way he did details of my face, especially my eyes. They look so real. Almost too real for a caricature.
