R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen
A caricature of comedic legend, Leslie Nielsen who passed away today aged 84. Growing up, I first discovered his work on 'Airplane' (titled 'Flying High!' here in Australia), then after seeing the 'Naked Gun' movies, rented the 'Police Squad!' series. When it came to slapstick comedy he was one of the best.
This was a shaded pencil drawing scanned and blended in Photoshop.
Edit 1st December- I uploaded a new version after I was disappointed with the likeness and inconsistent lighting of my initial sketch. You can see the old sketches here and here

But here is even better ... really ... you are incomparable ....
Your illustrations seem magnificent.
Oh nice tribute! He was one of my favorite people in the world. You've captured him perfectly!
According to CNN, it all turned out to be a hoax. :P
Lovely. I like how you softened his expression. Really good job.
