Caricature

I really like to be able to draw own caricatures, but I never do it that much. I think because I think I can never learn it. So I want to push myself to learn it.
Besides that I want to learn how to draw in ps. Because that is more close to the real thing than in illu.

Before looking furtere, can you geuss who this is?

This is how it turned out. Again a long way to learn things. It is much better then my first caricature of Al, but the hair could be way better. And maybe I should try to use lesser lines and try to get a flow in the face with long strong lines. But that a thing I need to practise. Im used to get smooth lines in illu even when I draw slow, but in photo I realy need to make quick strokes to get them smooth. Hard! But you get more life I suppose.

I started with searching for different heads.


Here you can see the progress, the oldest don't look at al at all. After each version I layed an other layer and draw a "better" version over it. So I could see what I did wrong and what I did good.

How do you think he is? Does the final version looks a bit like Al? I really could use some feedback. Even if you think it's crap, tell me why.

Tom Richmonds tutorials helpt me allot. Are there some more good tutorials out there? Or books.

some experimental stuff

This is from today:
Here's a quick self caricature. I want to practise that more.Sorry for the bad quality. I wanted to try out perspective. It's kinda hard, but stuff I learned from a book about perspective really helps. I like to do it, but I think I keep it too technical (for my purpose).

Tommorow Im gonna make some time for animation.


Here's a selection from what I did a couple of weeks ago. I studied this from the "marvel how to draw" book. I should do some comparisations and do it more to get better in this.

Update. Just made this clean up from a drawing from Jim Smith.

caricatures

I thumbled on this blog from Tom Richmond, where he explains how to make caricatures. The lessons are great! There's only 2 of them now but there will be more in the future.

I loose drew some copy's study's of the drawings where he explains some stuff.



After I had read the 2 lessons I started to do the exercise from lesson 2. After that I tryed to do a caricature of an actor without looking at other caricatures. Is he recognizable?
