W.I.P.

So I as you may or may not know I have taken up caricature art. I find that it is incredibly hard and 'regular' art is cake comparatively. Drawing regular portraits is simply drawing who(or what) you see, but when your caricaturing your not drawing what your see, but more, your drawing what is there. Your not drawing a picture of a person, you are drawing that person. I usually have about 2-4 reference photos I grab from while drawing because there are some things you just cant get from 1 picture. You need to determine what to exaggerate, what to minimize, enhance, keep the same, and so on. It really make you feel like more of an "artist" and not just someone drawing with just their eyes. If you haven't tried it you should.

Here is a Work In Progress of Jeremy's boy... Barack. What do you think? Suggestions? This would be a good one to save for when I get my Wacom Tablet to put into an oil painting style.


Up next... Rudy!

in an unrelated note...i feel the same way about scrubs as you do about the office. they're both in syndication now so i'm sure we'll see enough of both.
