added comment inCartooning the Body – How to Caricature the Figure
Asked for help
Hi there! A figure caricature from a Pirates of the Caribbean scene. I tried to apply Court's process, with a gesture sketch, a rough sketch and then a final sketch. After which I added a background to try to bring out the characters a little more.

Excellent caricatures! I love the breakdown/process here too. Really great work! I think you could push Will Turner's gesture a bit more, his torso and leg make him feel a little stiff. The addition of the costume seems like you made some corrections and pushed it there, but he still feels a little upright. I love the rendering, especially in Jack Sparrow's sword arm, I think the arms and lower legs for Will Turner are a little flattened by the straight hatching, I'd love to see those forms, and drapery turn a bit more like in Jack's costume. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone!
I'm very excited by this upcoming course and impressed by the involvement I feel in the community. Thanks you all for all these artists I discovered through your posts. Very inspiring and motivating for the coming weeks!
The first goals that come to my mind is to be able, thanks to this course, to create structured compositions from the ideas that I have in mind. To put on paper separate elements in a coherent scene. And to bridge the gap between the drawings that I can make with references and those of imagination.
I have complete confidence in Marshall to make this course something very fun and I can't wait to embark on this artistic journey!
Here is a selection of artists whose works I admire, with a focus on perspective work (I discovered some of them in your posts). I order of images: Alejandro Burdisio, Andreas Rocha, Bastien Grivet, Byous, Daniel Dociu, Gabriel Gomez, Jaime Jones, Makoto Shinkai, Mathieu Lauffray, Mosh Art, Yusuke Murata, Zdzisław Beksiński, Neil Ross.
Very different styles but with one common quality: the use of perspective for the benefit of composition. It's something I would like to be able to do too.
See you in the journey!
Hi there, thanks for introducing us to great artists! You've got some awesome work there. Something about Mosh Art's drawing immediately drew me in :)

A new caricature practice with the four steps: thumbnails sketch, rough sketch, abstraction and final sketch

Excellent! I love the direction you took this one! I like how you separated the planes of the face and nose in the rough sketch. The highlight between the plane changes, and change of contour helps sell the dimensionality of that rhythm. The final sketch is missing that plane change and the shadow kinda flattens the face a bit. Really nice work, keep it up! Hope this helps!

Awesome work!!
Great drawing! The shapes, the line, the shading (with beautiful reflected lights) ... I love it!

A practice of the 3 steps: rough sketch, abstraction and final sketch. I had a hard time with the hair and need to find another way of draw it...

My attempts for Columbo. I tried 2 sketches and applied abstraction to the one that seemed to me to have the most resemblance. My caricature isn't very funny and much more younger that the real Columbo. Then I did a study of Fabien Blazicek's caricature to try to understand and inspire myself

Here are 3 attempts at drawings Rossy de Palma. My cross hatching is very rough... I'm not really happy with the likeness, except maybe for the third one, where the features seem to be closer to hers. I tend to spend too much time on each drawing because if I don't detail the drawing enough, I have trouble estimating the likeness. But because of that, I no longer want to attempt another exaggeration. I need to draw much faster!

Super cool work! I love how you pushed each one in a different direction, and they all still capture her likeness in my opinion. If speed is something you'd like to work on, you could try back-to-back thumbnail sketches of a person limiting yourself at 3-4 minutes, then switching to the next person. That'd give you a sense of an immediate impression and how to dive in right away.

Excellent work, I think you got a nice likeness with each!

A few more figures from memory. The ones on the first page roughly in the same view as the references. The last 2 trying to rotate the character

Really nice work here. You nailed the crouching character. I think with the sword guy, you've compressed his legs a bit and given them both the same angle (looks more like a squat than a lunge in other words). I would straighten his left leg a bit as I don't see it coming that much forward in space from that angle. Hope this helps!
