Caricature

UPDATE!


------------------------------------------------------------------



I've been struggling to make a caricature of these two. I started by the girl that I found the easiest to accomplish, but I was wrong, so I started again making an analysis first.

I trace her head and I realize some things:
- The right side of the head is smaller than the left.
- There's a great space behind the eyes to the back of the head on the left side.
- Her left cheek is bigger than her right
- the shape from the right side of her head is like an arc, soft.
- She have very soft lines.
- The right eye is smaller than the left.
- She have big eyes and in the picture they are open, but the upper eyelid falls over the pupil.
- It forms an interesting shape between the eyes and the brows.

-The nose it's a difficult part. She have large nose and big at the point. fleshy

This is my best attempy so far. She's really difficult!
I don't know how to escape from reality, it still look realistic.
Should I emphasize more contrast?
Her nose it's also hard to make. If I make it too big she looks like a Drag Queen.
somebody could give me some help?
Where's everybody?

Life Sucks and Popeye toy construction

Update:

I think the curve of the head in the back has to be more pronounced, it will give the cranium more volume.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this came up pretty well.


Crap, the hat sucks! I've stretched all the drawing!

Milt Gross composition

UPDATE!:

better?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Verbal Analysis:
-opposing poses
-Sharply contrasting sizes
-Poses flow through line of action
-Lots of negative space surrounding the characters
-there is not much background
-There is little background that occupies a third of the image
-the background and the house on the right side, make a frame around the characters

my attempt

Funny Milt Gross Cat!

Verbal Analysis:

- Very curvy LOA!!!
- Thin body
-Clear sillhouette
-Big eyes
-Big Tounge
-Big down lip
-large head, it flows with a curve.
-Big smile behind the eyes.
-Not much inside neg. space.
-Lots of out. neg. space.
-Ears points in diferent directions
-Asymetrical Tail and body
-short legs, the toes points up
-muzzle and nose points up
-Irregular furrSo, here's my attempt. I wanted to give it some cosntruction. It's difficult to maintain the energy of Gross drawings.

Trying to apply the things that I learned :)

I'm Back!_Donald Bastard Construction

Update!:

better?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


I tried to choose an easy pose of Donald to understand better his construction.
Here are my first verbal analysis:

- Head same size as body (Head+Beak)
- Big Beak
- Hat almost the same size as body.
- little feet
- Curved LOA
- pose in perspective
- needs outside negative space

Emotional Estatement
Donald it seems to be saying: "Tsk, Tsk, yep, you ARE a fatty loser"

so, here is my first attempt.
what do you think?

2 Slabs and a Bastard *EDIT*

*EDIT* I tried to fix the mistakes I had on the previous drawings. The fixed versions are underneath each one of the storyboard sketches. Let me know what you think! I'd like to hear some feedback!

Hey, I'm back! And it's been forever.

Here's some Slab practices so I can try to maintain the guts of the characters from the storyboard sketch. Right now I feel like I got a long way to go for me to start staging characters within backgrounds, so I figured I'd practice doing some more of these until I get good enough with actual layout making.

*FIXED*

*OLD*

The Slab on top came out pretty good I think. I made his head and cheek area a bit slender. I could've moved the head a bit to the right more and also add more tilt. I do like how the perspective on his feet came out though.

*FIXED*

*OLD*

I tried pushing his pose a bit further in the top one. I could've added more perspective in the head by making it smaller while his body is more closer and bigger towards us. I noticed I strectched out the arm that connects to the big fist too much. Gotta fix that.

*FIXED*

*OLD*

This Donald Bastard was fun to do. I like that I added more perspective on his feet to make his stance seem more balanced. I could've made his arm on the right a bit bigger for it to seem more solid and have his hat stretched out a bit on top, but I had to cramp it a bit for it to fit on the page. I'll fix it though.

I'd like to hear what you guys think!

John's original drawing

I couldn't figure out that left foot to any degree I found satisfying. I wanted there to be perspective, but this doesn't feel right... Anybody have input (or critique on the rest of the drawing)?
