After a couple weeks MIA here he is finally…
I wanted to do something iconic in the same style as my Michael Jordan caricature, hopefully I succeeded!
Below you can see a couple more pics of details and some personal notes about the piece – hope you like it 🙂
Face Detail of Bruce Lee Caricature
One thing I always remember from watching his movies as a kid was his fierce facials! His looks of anger alone should have been enough to send the local thugs running.
I had a pretty difficult time figuring out exactly what facial I wanted to capture because there are so many, all of which are synonomous with Bruce Lee from the ‘Wah-taaaah’ face to the ‘OooWoooh’ face, they are all very expressive and very Bruce Lee.
In the end I decided to go with something that usually isn’t captured by other artists who have depicted Bruce Lee, because I really wanted to set my piece apart from all others.
As a result you are now looking at the Bruce Lee face I like to call the ‘Heeeeh’ face.
Body Detail of Bruce Lee Caricature
I remember when I was in High School I was on this body building program that was apparently written by Bruce Lee himself!
There was also an article about his training regime filled with anecdotes from his closest friends. One of them was about Bruce Lees crazy sized forearms and the depths he would go to make them as strong as he could. Inspired by this article, I bought myself some forearm grippers (devices used to strengthen up your forearms) and would crank them all day long through High School years 10-12 going from class to class, and when I could, during class as well.
Alot of classmates thought I was a bit odd, but I was stupidly determined to make mine as massive as Lees. Needless to say I fell short because he was obviously doing a few more things other than pumping out 1000 reps on the hand grips to get his forearms to be as massive as they were.
