Women are more difficult to draw/caricature than men. This is fact. Proven by science. Without a doubt. Which is why I have so much respect for people like Katie Rice and Shane Glines. They are a few of my favorite 'girl artists' working today. The truth is that they are actually much more than 'girl artists' that just happens to be one of their specialties. I think one of the tricks to drawing well is the mastery of the female form, once you have that beautiful, subtle thing down everything else must just be childs play. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know, my girl drawings are sorely lacking but every once in a while I get inspired by seeing a Glines, or a Rice or even a Moore or a Blair girl and think...gee that doesn't look so hard, think I'll give that a try. And inevitably I fail to achieve the kind of subtle, beautiful appeal that's inherent in each of these artists drawings. So...in the meantime, here are some practices of celebrity female caricature, any guesses?

Just a hint, two of 'em are of the same person and the last one John K pretty much owns but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.
Women tend to disguise themselves more than men, which I think makes them harder to do.
Super correct, girls are way too hard to caricature.
I see Tyra and Paris, not sure about the others. I think you nailed Tyra perfectly except for the chin- maybe a bit smaller?
Great drawings Fred.
Angelina Jolie at the top I think.

I think 3 and 4 are Fox News' Greta van Susteren. And Picasso would be proud of your Paris. Very interesting African-mask style.
a shot in the dark here..but is the first one Maria "Skeletor" Shriver?
Angelina Jolie, Tyra Banks, Denise Richards, ___ and Paris Hilton

Thanks for playing!
Love your work Fred, always do. Keep up the great work.
Furthermore, thanks for your Pong depiction, I still have it hanging on my work area.
Its true, it make more fun to draw girls than mens. It make fun to try different styles on girlpictures. You make good work.
