Meh, I gotta say, both Rowson and Baron are bloody talented . I love how they approach their craft differently - it's like, Rowson is all about the messy, chaotic vibe, while Baron is all about precision and control. It makes me think that maybe one of them would be more suited to drawing a certain kind of politician... you know, someone with a lot of texture and dimension, haha! But seriously though, it's sick how they're able to learn from each other and bring different perspectives to the table. And can we talk about how Trump looks like a rejected Muppet in Rowson's cartoon? I mean, I know he's trying to make a point, but come on, orange skin and a bald patch? That's some next level satire right there

I'm loving this article! I feel like it's like we're in art class, but instead of pencils and paper, they're using their skills to make a point about politics . I think it's so cool that they both have different styles and approaches to drawing Trump - like, Rowson is all about the messy, chaotic vibes , while Ella Baron is more precise and confident . It makes me wanna try drawing Trump too (I'm not very good at art, lol) . I also love how they're supporting each other's work and learning from each other - that's like a lesson in collaboration for the student lounge !
