American actress Laurie Metcalf played Jackie Harris in the sitcom Roseanne, which ran for 221 episodes from 1988-97. She won three consecutive Emmy Awards (1992-94) and was nominated for two Golden Globes for her performance in the role. She has also appeared in Desperate Housewives, The Big Bang Theory. She has won both a Theatre World Award and an Obie Award for her work on stage.
In 2012, she joined David Suchet in Eugene O’Neills Long Day’s Journey Into Night at London’s Apollo Theatre.
Laurie signed my sketch at the Apollo Theatre stage door in July 2012.

Great sketch! It can be hard to get a natural looking smile, and you’ve done it so well!

Thank you – it’s easier when the subject has a natural looking smile!

Haha… she does look very natural. I’m interested to know, did you sketch live, or from a photograph?

I sketch from stills – publicity shots etc. Does help to see the subject in person, strangely publicity shots don’t always capture them perfectly.

So true. I was thinking that a combination could work very well. Photographs tend to ‘flatten’ people, and it’s good to see them ‘in the round.’
Very nice sketch. 🙂

Your work is superb, sir, and your autographed sketch idea makes for a truly unique and very pleasing blog theme. Love your self caricature as well. Two thumbs up, and I wish I had a third! : )

Thank you – but I must admit my caricature was drawn by my friend and fellow New Zealander Murray Webb, one of the world’s best caricature artists.
