Back into caricatures, and dyin' for some advice, whether you're spotting one-time mistakes or consistently bad habits. Thanks.
The drawing of this guy reminds me of Borat.
Luiz on break.
Should she even have a face behind those glasses?
(I do like how I drew her eyes.)
First one.
SIX FLAGS TEXAS
About a month ago I was flown to San Antonio to teach Brush Art at Sea World. I missed my return flight, and so I spent the rest of my day drawing caricatures for Bugs Bunny.
This kid wanted to be riding a skateboard, but his mom said just the color face. Then when they came to pick up, she asked me why he wasn't riding a skateboard. Since I couldn't turn his torso into a kid on a board, I redrew it for them. See how nice I am?
I don't know WHAT is going on here. First of all, his name's not really Anthony. Second, the face sucks. Third, I started drawing a Taz body, but then accidentally gave him a Road Runner background, so I added Wile E. Coyote trying to trap him with Nerd Seed. THEN, I decided since he wasn't Taz anymore, that I'd just color him with flesh tone, and there you have it: a jacked-up, poorly-drawn caricature of an unidentified man running naked through Arizona.

Hey dude, I ain't no Joe bluhm. But my advice would be work on your eyes and try to get some contrast in your drawings (as far as features against each other). It will make a big difference. For example on the one with the kid thats underneath the couple, It looked like you wanted to focus on making the mouth the exaggerated part. So you drew the mouth big (thats easy enough ) but now you you want to create some contrast and keep other things small to make the mouth read better and just pop out more. So giving him squinty smaller eyes would boost this. Also moving features things around such as the nose further up maybe making it a little smaller (but keeping the integrity of the shape together) would give you more room for the mouth. Overall dude I see your making lots of progress and just keep looking at your eyes especially on adults don't always make them big draw them so they contrast with something else and try to think about either drawing the eyes closer together or far apart there usually no mid ground if you want it to like a caricature. But hey dude, don't think Im a dick Im just trying to point out mistakes I use to do to. Peace brother
Thanks man- I think you hit this one right on.
cool man, As if I didn't right enough before. Again about eyes, think about the angle too(arched down, droopy arched the other way. Just have fun with eyes and play with there shape. Move points arount or use less points to simplify. Alright nuff said, sometimes it helps me to write it out or say it order to remember what Ive learned already and actually put it to some use.
me is stupid....just noticed my bad grammar. right? awwww dammit need to sleep more
My fave is the pic of the couple. Go Dan!
