These are sketches I did a couple of days ago of Katy Jurado and an attempt at Penelope Cruz. I did them on scraps of cardboard with brush pen, gray marker (for shadows), acrylic & colored pencil (for highlights). They're both about 4x7"... postcard size, in case I ever get the urge to mail them.I don't think I got Penelope just right. But I like the way Katy turned out. I found the more I tried to make her look like my wife, the better the drawing got. Katy, by the way, was the first Latina nominated for an Oscar (Best Supporting Actress, "Broken Lance" 1954), but she did not win. The second Mexican Actress nominated for an Oscar was Selma Hayek in 2003. Between the two, Rita Moreno won an Oscar in 1962, but in that she is Puerto Rican (and therefore a U.S. citizen by birth), the statistic records often jump over her.
¡Caramba!

Tim! I have a question. Is is okay for me to post drawings I've done of Disney characters and such (like my most recent sketch of Oliver in watercolor and ink)? They're my interpretations so I figured it would be okay.
Thanks!
Oh! And this is a drawing I did back in high school. Just found it and thought you'd like it! It's prismacolor on black mat board. http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/31135_1349522504985_1439010198_31003728_6810021_n.jpg
Hi Lauren,
Are you asking if it's legal to post drawings of Disney characters?
I think that would depend on which lawyer you ask. It seems that there is so much of that going around that the Disney legal team has little time to track them all down, much less prosecute. So they focus on anyone who tries to make money with their characters or misrepresents the company.
Fan art is generally ok
I have posted many of my drawings as portfolio pieces. And even though, in the strictest sense, that may be illegal, I choose to think it falls under the concept of "fair use".
By the way, that's a nice Simba.
Okay! Just making sure before I start posting haha.
Thank you! It's one of my favorite pieces. I love keeping up with your artwork! God bless.
