Caricature drawing of Obama
Hello guys, today I am sharing a piece of work I did yesterday, I wanted posting yesterday but fell asleep so I am here today to show you guys my artistic work. This is a drawing of Obama but in a funny way which is seen as a caricature.
Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961. He was born in Hawaii. His father came from Kenya. His mother came from the United States.
When he was a child, he was quiet and gentle. He liked to read books. He liked to learn about people and places. He lived with his mother and grandparents while growing up. They taught him to be kind and to work hard.
As he grew older, he wanted to help people. He worked as a teacher. He also worked to help poor families and small communities. Later, he studied law at Harvard Law School. He became one of the best students there. He believed laws should help people live safely and fairly.
He met Michelle Obama while working as a lawyer. They became friends and later got married. They had two daughters and loved spending time together as a family.
Obama later joined politics. He first became a senator. In 2008, he ran for president. Many people believed in his message of hope and change. He won and became the first Black president of his country. He served for eight years and worked to improve health care and help young people dream big.

Progress work
Most times when drawing I get so carried away that I don’t take progress work a lot but this time around i try as much as possible to take shots while drawing. So this was my first sketch before my shot. This work shows the frame work of my sketch from the beginning stage.
This is my second stage sketch which shows the progress of my work, I started shading the forehead of my work and proceeded to the lower side of the face, when drawing it’s good to follow a sequence so that you will be able to cover up much area and get a clean work, so it’s very advisable if you start from top to bottom, because when you do that you get a clean work and don’t get your hands stained by the graphites of your charcoal pencil.
In this stage I went on to shade down to the bottom of the face of my subject.
I was able to finalize the shading of the face of my subject.
final render
This was my final result of my drawing, drawing takes just step by step procedure and when you do so you tend to complete a project. I love the out come and I like the teeth parts because it gave my work a funny outlook.
