While I haven't picked up my pencils for new caricatures since 2015, it's something I've always hoped to return to. There are still so many legendary actresses I'd love to draw—Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Clara Bow, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, and many others. Hopefully, this gallery will continue to grow with new additions in the future.
