How to Draw Obama
By Daryl Cagle | February 4th, 2009 | PERMALINK
Obama seems like an easy guy to draw; he’s skinny, has a big chin, expressive eyebrows and lips. As it turns out, no matter how a cartoonist draws Obama, somebody gets mad.
When Obama burst into the presidential campaign cartoonists started drawing him as a caricature without much exaggeration. As time goes by, political figures morph in cartoons into caricatures of caricatures; George W. Bush shrank to knee height and grew huge bunny ears; Bill Clinton lost his pants and grew fatter (even as he got skinnier in real life). At the beginning of the Obama administration, everyone is watching to see how the cartoon Obama evolves.
I worked for twenty years as a cartoon illustrator, doing drawings for books, magazines and advertising. I was often given clear guidelines on how I was supposed to draw African-Americans: with “small noses” and “thin lips”. I was instructed to make any crowds of cartoon characters racially diverse, but only diverse in color, not in facial features. Thick lips and wide noses on African American faces would be returned to me for correction, with a polite reminder of the corporate policies on depictions of minority facial features.
Cartoonist Gary McCoy has been lambasted by readers, and by Salon.com, for drawing racially insensitive, big lips on Obama. Some cartoonists have drawn attention for giving Obama blue lips. Canadian cartoonist Patrick Corrigan of the Toronto Star had an Obama cartoon killed by his editor because of “racist” blue lips. Thomas “Tab” Boldt of the Calgary Sun and Cam Cardow of the Ottawa Citizen have also been rendering Obama with blue lips. Corrigan tells me that everyone in Canada, in the winter, has blue lips.
Readers of my blog explained to me that blue lips are racist and pointed out an old racist expression “blue gums,” which was a new one for me. Corrigan tells me he’ll be switching to purple lips, Cam will be giving up on the blue lips and Tab was laid off. That may mean the end of blue lips for Obama.
Syndicated caricaturist Taylor Jones also sees blue in Obama. He writes:
“One of the most interesting things about Obama’s eyes is the slight blue tinge to the flesh below his eyebrows. It’s also visible on his eyelids. It’s as though he’s wearing a bit of eye shadow. Don’t know if it’s actual blue pigmentation, or just the effect of light bouncing off the skin stretched against his eye sockets. But it adds a nifty touch whenever I’m drawing Obama’s caricature in color.”
I’m considering going all the way, making Obama completely blue (if that’s not racist).
Obama’s ears have grown huge for most cartoonists. George W. Bush’s ears also grew huge, but it took more than a year for Bush’s big ears to catch on — Obama’s ears started right away, and have been expanding faster than the national debt. It may be that after eight years of Bush, we now see huge ears as a standard, presidential attribute. I don’t see any particular reason for either Bush’s or Obama’s ears to grow in cartoons, but with cartoonist peer pressure it will soon be impossible to draw a likeness of Obama without colossal ears.
There seems to be an expectation that political cartoonists are mostly liberals who love Obama and will find it hard to make fun of him in cartoons. Some cartoonists have complained in the press that Obama is dull, and that there is little to criticize about him — we have a term of art for cartoonists like that, we call them “bad cartoonists.” It is the job of an editorial cartoonist to dislike everybody. Political cartoonists have nothing to gain by being in favor of anything. Cartoons that support anything are lousy cartoons. There is plenty for everyone not to like about Obama — and with the porky stimulus package and tax-evading cabinet appointments, there’s more every day!
The cartoon version of Obama will continue to evolve quickly. If we ever actually see him smoking a cigarette, he will always be smoking in cartoons. Obama may turn different colors, and he’ll grow or shrink with his performance. Obama’s ears will keep growing no matter what he does. As Obama’s honeymoon passes and the caricatures become more severe, I expect the complaints about racism in the cartoons will also grow more severe.
But I don’t care. I’m making Obama blue today.

I like the blue Obama!! And I think his lips are more of a purple hue than blue, but that’s just me. I don’t see such protruding lips in his ‘real life’ face though. However, I think today’s Obama cartoon is just great, Daryl.
What an interesting ‘historical’ perspective of the Obama cartoon.
Also, I feel bad for Tab. Hope he’s already employed again.

Thanks for the insight on the evolution. I had no idea it worked like that. I’m surprsed that there hasn’t been more cartoons showing Obama smoking, but I do sort of like the fact that he smokes. It shows how real and human he is unlike Elliot Spitzer aka Mr. Clean who turned out to be not so clean.

Not being a cartoonist at all, much less a political cartoonist, I have never given much thought to the evolution of the depiction of a real person. This essay brilliantly explains the issues involved in drawing our new president, a thorny patch for sure. Thank you fror making me think about something new.

Darryl, I’ve had the same worries drawing Obama accurately but-not-in-a-racist-way. But now that we have a black prez, racism is over - right? So we’re free to draw him as we see him. I have lightened his skin color over the months because I realize he’s not as brown as I originally thought he was. He’s more like coffee regular (meaning with milk). I’ve been Photoshopping his hair using a sort of Brillo looking texture.

I don’t get it! Without turning a comment into a rant if ever I thought of one place a person could be free from the political correctness of our day, I would have thought it would be the artwork of a political/editorial cartoonist.
So, now what do we do, adopt an anything goes when drawing anyone BUT an African American?
I’m even disappointed in the comments as I expected more of an outrage here too. Oh well, when you got the Shizzle, I guess you got the Shizzle and President Obama surely must have that because not even the worst of the controversial prodding reporters seem anything but enamored with him when they interview him.
I draw people I love and admire with extreme exaggeration…that’s why it’s a cartoon!
I would now like to offer up when I think it’s okay to let your creative juices flow when caricaturing an African American. Only IF you are 1 part of African American yourself.
Has anyone ever seen the art of Billy Dee Williams or how about one of my favorite (seriously) Cbabi Bayoc. Now why is it we can all enjoy their freedom of expression ( and tremendous talent) and not an editorial cartoonist’s translations?
You look, you decide, but know this, the jpg you are about to view is by and artist (Cbabi Bayoc) that is very respected and sought after by the African American community and I know of no one giving him any grief.

In times of being PC & sensitive to others, I would draw Obama the way he looks. How would you draw him if he was not black? I would draw him with those characteristics & then add his skin color & basketball because that\’s his game… This should keep you safe from \"real\" attacks & editorial rejections…

After following you a bit on twitter I’ve found myself asking the following questions:
1. Do you have a political affiliation or does your profession require you to remain … if not fair then at least balanced in your level of critique?
2. Can you teach this quality to your journalist colleagues?
3. Are the characters you draw like that of Dorian Grey’s portrait … taking on more exagerated features as time goes on and numbers of political blunders grow?
4. Doesn’t the all blue Prez. Obama looks more like a smurf?

As a black man in America, I do think about the many offensive cartoon images of African Americans that I\’ve seen over the years. The ones that I have found to be particularly offensive usually depict black people with one brush, lacking any depth or individuality; hence the big lips, big nose, etc. They also tend to depict us as subhuman buffoons, lacking any intelligence whatsoever. Asian Americans have had similar experiences viewing cartoons featuring similar characters with over-exaggerated slanted eyes and buck teeth. You can find examples of many other groups with similar grievances. I watched a stand-up comic a few nights ago, who used the subject of Barack Obama as a platform to trot out every tired joke she could find about black people; lazy, tardy, and so on.
As an editorial cartoonist, I\’ve had the opportunity to draw caricatures of Barack Obama on a number of occasions over the past year. It\’s still evolving for me, but I\’ve had some personal favorites that I look back on with some fondness. Drawing caricatures is always tricky. My first priority is always capturing some sort of likeness, but I also want the likeness to successfully convey whatever is the overall message of the cartoon. Last year, I did a memorial cartoon of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. My primary focus then was to honor them, because I have fond memories of them, particularly Mr. Hayes, who had been around since my early childhood.
Today, I had the sad task of drawing a memorial cartoon of two prominent members of the community where I live. While I wanted to capture their likenesses, I also wanted the likenesses to not be offensive. Anyone who draws caricatures knows that such illustrations can bring a chuckle, a grimace, or a snarl, regardless of ethnicity or gender. Members of the family could be reading the paper, and the last thing I wanted to do is cause more pain to someone already going through a terrible loss. And both of these people were white.
Maybe the trick is to treat each character as an individual, instead of just a type. Sounds good, right? Still, I\’m sure that I\’ve offended people. As an editorial cartoonist, it\’s part of my job.

A day or two ago I looked through your essay on drawing Obama and the different cartoon views of him. The one with the Shrek ears was the oddest, but they all capture some essence of the man’s physical presence so I was ok with all of them. Some strike me as better than others, but maybe that depends on the cartoon as well as the caricature.
I never gave much thought to the political correctness of political cartoons… there have been cartoons that are WAY over the line and offensive. Generally I think everyone with any sense of moral decency recognizes those. Politicians, IMHO, are fair game. Their families are not. (By way of example.)
The blue lip thing strikes me as just plain weird as an issue. This is an issue??? I sat for over an hour at the Van Gogh Museum in front of that gypsy picture he painted where the man’s skin is green. I’d seen photos in books of that picture many times and thought it was a ghastly mistake on Vinny’s part. But when I saw the real thing I was stunned. It worked. And I couldn’t figure out why. Just could not figure it out. Drove me nuts. Still does. That picture still has a strange place in my mind because it was somehow “real” when I saw the painting, but dreadfully “unreal” when I saw a photo of it. Two points here: (1) I withhold judgement on an artist’s choice of colors other than to either like or dislike on a gut immediate reaction and (2) heaven help me, but artists have some sort of visual mind that doesn’t operate the way mine does. My mind works in words, sometimes numbers, but never pictures. Given that, I respect that artists probably differ from each other in terms of what they see and how they interpret it. Go with the flow and like what you like, but for the most part, art is what it is. (Or as an artist friend said: Art is whatever you can get away with.) Taken together I have a hard time fathoming why people get all pc about Obama cartoons.
As a subject of caricature, Obama has a distinctive face which even I can imagine is a gold mine for caricature interpretation. The colors and features used by each cartoonist…. eh… whatever… show me what you got and I’ll see what I think. The Simpsons are yellow, for heaven’s sake.

I’m just trying to get my cartoons to look like him. That’s hard enough without all that other crap to tip toe around. So far I’ve been able to pin down the round ears that stick out from his round cranium. I want to draw him with a long face, but that’s not really accurate either. I usually end up with something that looks like Alfred E. Newman which sort of works because he has that “What me worry?” attitude.

Like all the ‘toons of Obama. At least in all he looks intelligent, unlike the Bush league guy who needed to look stupid. Obama has his chance to continue looking intelligent and the so-called stimulus plan is his first test. His metric should be success in employing Americans, not fool-filling Democratic wish-lists. Let’s all hope his accomplishments are as good as his words.

Re: a blue Obama. On Jan. 20, a colleague was relating that she was trying to convey to her 5 year old daughter the significance of the day, the inauguration of our first black President, and her daughter corrected her with “But Mommy, he’s not black, he’s blue”. It took the mother a bit of time to figure out that the daughter had seen graphics of blue states and red states during the campaigns, and Obama was always blue!

My persoanl favorite of editorial cartoonists will always be Thomas Nast, and he caricatured some people I actually liked in history, so there you are. I think that newspapers in their quest to be as PC as possible are actually becoming less PC than ever. It doesn’t matter that he’s black, it matters that he’s president. All presidents should be caricatured. And Obama has jug handle ears, whatever his skin color. Of course his caricature will have big ears!

Back about 1961 singer Charly Drake cut a record called, “My boomerang won’t come back”, considered politically incorrect because the lyrics said. “I threw it all over the place, I threw it till I was BLACK in the face”. Charly had to recut the record and say…till I was BLUE in the face. So I guess blue is not racial??
A couple of years ago there was an uproar about a stamp in Mexico honoring “Memin Pingin” a black cuban cartoon character… President Fox ordered the stamp not to be circulated just to appease minority groups in the U.S. who thought Memins lips were too big. . However I never heard any Mexicans complaining when the U.S. did the same thing with Speedy Gonzales. Don’t you think sauce for the Goose is also Sauce for the Gander?

The EARS! You’re making OB look like a Star Trek Next Generation Ferengi! He may be President of the USA, but that is still 2 or 3 notches lower than a Grand Nagus! (If I recall my terminology correctly.) Surely his ears are not that big? On the other hand, he’s going to be hearing an awful lot over the next few years. They may grow…
But I liked him light blue. He seemes kid of cute. Cartoonish, yes, but then you were drawing a cartoon. Since he was light blue, I was not reminded immediately of a Smurf (…only when another commentator made noe.). I, myself, was reminded of on of the Harlem Globetrotters. Not being into sports, I can’t recall which one. Actually, he is not bad looking in light blue. A little red and white would have made him more patriotic!
Here is hoping that as more and more real color pictures of the Prez get out, and more and more people know just what he looks like, then cartoonists will be able to draw him as he really is, with some small exaggeration.
Either way: I hope his Presidency is an effective one, not a cartoon one. I wish him the best of luck, because he is surely going to need it. Come on, Obama, do something good. The USA needs it. The World needs it.

What’s the problem with drawing caricatures of King Hussein with his natural Afroid attributes: dark skin, wide nose, thick lips and a blinding halo around his holy head? Those are all true, the latter, of course, is in the eye of the beholder; but what is NOT true and seems to be widely perpetrated by cartoonists are his BLUE LIPS. What\’s up with all that? Is it an homage to all the BLUE states who went BarakBeserk in November, 2008? Is it indicative of the reluctance to use RED, for fear of Republican or communist implications? Or BLACK due to rabid PC dedication? If King Hussein is truly the first black president of the United States, why not use his African features in caricatures, much as was George Bush’s nose and ears;. Bill Clinton’s nose and chubby countenance; Reagan’s hair; FDR’s hat, glasses and cigarette holder? To do less is to imply that there is something WRONG with African-American facial and bodily features. And THAT is clearly racist.

It is the color by which the Hindu God Lord Krishna is painted. It means that the person is wise, just and compassionate.

This whole conversation seems to be about racism, versus alleged racism. A cartoonist merely draws people, exaggerating the most prominent features, thus ensuring instant recognition (by the way, that’s a talent, not something anyone just does). Cartoonists, by way of being observers, and keen ones at that, can be depended upon far more than the average person to be fair in their views. So guys, go on doing what you’re doing, without being affected by the PC brigade. It is our desire to see your talent expressing itself in its most original, unrestricted form. Cheers!

Obama\’s lips are blue/purple because he\’s a smoker!!!! When I first saw the dude, and before his smoking became public knowledge, I immediately thought \"he smokes weed.\" When discussing this observation with my friends and peers, I characterized his lips as \"black\" in color and not the (more or seemingly more politically correct \"blue\" and \"purple\" characterizations spoken of here). Albeit the fact that he\’s only admitted to having a cigarette habit, I later gloated at the fact that my intuition was spot-on. Most black people know that black people with black lips have a smoking habit of some sort. It\’s the effect of the nicotine on pigment, especially in a lighter complected person like Obama. And please, I don\’t need backlash on what I know is a very broad generalization. I\’m just saying that it\’s been my observation. And I\’m very disturbed to admit that I felt the need to insert somewhere within this comment that \’I\’m black\" as if I\’m entitled to make this comment because of that, but that I wouldn\’t be if I was white. In line with the author\’s very subtle premise, noting that something is a certain way because someone is a certain race isn\’t racism. And I\’m also inclined to say that African American people who have a problem with caracitures such as exaggerated lips and other characteristic black features have self-hate issues. It is what we are. Just because a non-black person acknowledges it in a caraciature doens\’t mean it\’s racist. Also, non-black people should stop walking on egg shells with regard to this issue–nor does it deserve this much discusson. These days, \"racism\" is still experienced by many in increasingly subtle ways, and, as such, there should be a broader and more sophisticated dialogue about it . You woudl think that as a country we would have moved on from this sort of bs.

You see I\’d be much more forgiving to some rascist cartoons, like the chimp one, if any of them were actually…you know…comical? A comic is supposed to be funny and then have some sort of other attribute, like insulting or chastzing, etc. I would have been much more lenient on rascist cartoons like that, but the main problem is, they fail as a comic, they weren\’t funny, and therefore have no really excuse for being offensive. Comics are allowed to get away with things in the name of humor, but the comics that people have been criticizing all just offensive, without the humor, they are basically bad comics in the first place. Honestly, this just illustrates a point i\’ve seen again and again, conservatives are just bad at humor.

My idol, The artist I really look up to is Aaron Douglass. Even though his artwork kinda looks like silhouettes, He has a odd way of creating characters that represent african decent. I sometimes complain that there are not enough authentic african cartoons in Anime, Fanasty art, Gaming… And now i can see why. Our own people prohibit that kind of growth. Why are we so afraid of being different? Yes I have a wide nose And some really big.. I mean big lips But thats beautiful to me. Its more to it than just coloring a character dark. We have a completely different bone structure Our hair sit completely higher on our head. I think this is a step backwards to be so offended by our own natural features. I used to look in the mirror every morning when i was younger and wish my lips were bigger. Grind my teeth so i can some how create a bone structure that was not there thinking about all the plastic surgeries i would love to do. OR taking extra care to my skin so that i can have a lighter complexion. It took me a long time and alot of education to be proud of the reflection i look at in the mirror. I think being so offended maybe implanting a misguided message to our youth and population. That if you do look at yourself and thats what you see… its not something to be proud of.
