Caricatures of the political world

I've been getting into drawing a lot of caricatures lately, mostly because I started watching Court Jones' videos on Stan Prokopenko's YouTube channel.  I've always been a fan of the artform since discovering MAD Magazine as a kid, and I've churned a number of them out over the years.  I even spent one summer drawing them in Liberty Square at Disney's Magic Kingdom.  Not the ideal job, but I grew much more comfortable drawing in front of crowds.

Here's a couple of loose sketches of some of our more questionable world leaders.


Straight out of my sketchbook to you, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin.  

I'll add additional political leaders as time goes on.

Vanity

One of the recurring themes of Disney Villainy is vanity.  It isn't exclusive to the female villains, either, as Gaston has proven.  In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney's first animated feature, Snow White's stepmother is obsessed with being the most beautiful in the land and becomes murderously jealous when Snow begins to mature into a woman lovelier than she.  Ironically, the Queen sacrifices the very beauty she cherished in an effort to poison her rival.  In this image, I present the cold, arrogant beauty of the Queen in contrast with her magical disguise.
