Sketching in a moving car

Continuing and tweaking what I was doing last night, I'm doing some quick five-minute sketches of people. I like doing things quickly and sloppily because then they can look shitty and I can say, "I did it in 90 seconds in the dark with my dog licking the ticklish spot on my ribcage, just below the armpit." Then, it's impressive.

No, basically, I am having fun trying to make a quick sketch and seeing if it's recognizable as the person I am sketching. It's usually the eyes and mouth that need some similarity. Everything else can be squiggles. Today, I used mugshots I decided not to make into stencils for the other thing. Both are very talented people who have had crazy private lives. Charlie Sheen is not in the group. (Duh, untalented.)

Here's Robert Downey Jr. if he were a serial killer.
Here's Mel Gibson if he were a sleazy comic-book character.
More later.
