Penelope Cruz the Mongoose

Latest assignment was to make a celebrity caricature as an animal. This is something entirely new for me since when I think of Caricature I think of this:

I didn't draw those btw (obviously). But that's what I think of when I think "caricature"....totally NOT my style :/ But I was supposed to do something like this:

But Penelope Cruz doesn't have any props for me to work with and all I had to do was make a turnaround so personality sketches weren't really going to be a part of the finished product :/ Her body type, while beautiful, isn't too extraordinary. However, she does have big eyes, a wide mouth, and big hair. There's also a noteable in her facial proprotions. Anyway....

This isn't my greatest project. I had to pick priorities with it being finals week though. Lots of projects including another for this class....soooooooooooooooooo...yeah whatever here's everything haha:

 

Here are my first sketches. They're HORRIBLE. I was caught up between putting animal on a human and human on an animal heh XD

Here is a more anthro version...but this wasn't really where the project needed to go. So I had to re-do

Something a little more animal. But not animal enough :/ Prof wanted something completely animal but while paying attention to her facial proportions. I like this one the most though. 

This is what I ended up with. I don't like it, but I suck at turnarounds haha This is all animal, but with a sort of "mane" that is Penelope's hair and some of her facial proportions (short distance between nose/mouth, large almond eyes, ect).
