More sketches: The secret lives of celebrities

These are the sketches for my next assignment. Can you guess who it is? it's Stephen Hawking. The idea behind this assignment was to show some famous person doing something the opposite of what we would expect. Show their secret life and how it differs from their public persona. My idea is that Stephen Hawking totally loves to play in the pool. In my preliminary sketch, he was jumping out of his special wheelchair onto the diving board. Maybe in that case the whole wheelchair thing was a put-on. It was agreed in class that this is funnier:



It was followed by the suggestion of making stephe-o a lifeguard. Capitalizing on the fact that he's actually to stupid to realize he'd be completely inept at saving lives. I had a brief idea that i may have done this illustration in 3-d, it seemed feasible in 5 days:



This third sketch is the one I'll probably do, and i'll probably do it in photoshop like the dubya one. Fred liked it. He liked seeing the people in the ocean who would absolutely not be saved if any of them should drown.



Finishes on tuesday!
