Just sharing a digital caricature

I´m trying to find a very specific approach to digital paint, so I´m just gathering references of my favorite artists and art and try to apply something they did in a pleasant way :)

Awesome work, Joao! It definitely feels like a defined and bold style with a unique twist. What were some of the artists that you used as reference, if you don't mind sharing?

Hi @lawal2976. I still have a lot to learn about caricature myself, but I'll try my best to help you further: - She looks a little like an old man in this caricature. I tried doing a caricature myself and the same thing happened to me. I think what caused this for me was that I drew her with boxy strong forms, which is a characteristic of the male head. By rounding out the forms and emphasizing feminin trates, like puffy cheeks, I think I made her look more feminin. - In one of the lessons I think Court mentioned the importance drawing the persons features, and not generalised features. When I compare your drawing to photos of Elizabeth II, I feel like the shape of the features could have been more hers: -Her eyes are like wide boxes; flat on top and round on the bottom, with large irises. -Her nose is teardrop shaped; narrow bridge and large ball. -Her eyebrows are s-curved Next time you do a caricature be critical when you draw the features and try to design and exaggerate them as much as you design the overall shape of the head. - As you continue to learn and explore caricature I would also recommend working on your drawing fundamentals. One thing that limited me when I took the course in 2020 was that I didn't feel comfortable in drawing the head, which obviously made caricaturing it a huge challenge. The more you strengthen you ability to work with gesture, structure, value, shape, edge, anatomy and other imprtant fundamentals, the more tools you'll have to create your caricatures. If you're looking for courses to strenghten you drawing fundamentals I would strongly recommend starting with these two: Figure Drawing Fundamentals The Shading Course – Fundamentals of Realism, Light & Shadow (you could also get this course with a monthly membership on Dorian iten's website https://www.theshadingcourse.com ) Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Hi @lawal2976. I think you captured his smile. And to be honest, I would not have recognized him as Tom Cruise. To give you a good feedback it would be helpfull to see, which reference you used to do your caricature. Did you use just one reference or more than one? I tried to find a picture of Tom Cruise, that could have been your reference (see the attached picture). Comparing it to your picture I want to highlight 3 points: 1. I think you got the earlopes wrong. They do not stand away from his head. Not in this reference and not in oter ones I have seen. 2. Tom has quite a big nose. In your caricature it is too small. 3. I see his eyebrows beeing straight lines and not curved. But as said, it would be helpful to see your reference. And Tom Cruise is difficult to draw too...
