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?

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!

Many doodles and drawings have gone down, some better than others.







I like the top one (reproduced above) better.. it felt more dynamic, then again, maybe the other one has a more focused expression. Then again again, maybe I'm committing the cardinal sin of changing them arbitrarily.





I studied these Tom Oreb rabbits alongside Kaspar because they seemed to have a good balance of angles, relatively straighter lines, and curves, whilst still feeling organic. I find keeping my hand in studying something good helps me be less spazzy when I draw 'my own' things. I naturally tend toward abundant curves and waves, so I was just making an effort to be more balanced.





Hand probably not far apart enough, stretch not tense enough:





The arm probably could have been more solid and manly, and it's gone off the edge of the page too. (My scanner's not quite big enough for this animation paper)





I preferred the way the nose nestled in the central one of these: (By the way I work from right to left, I'm left handed, so often the worst and more primitive ones will be on the far right)





And I did find the arms on this one tricky to interpret





These were a bit poor, the middle one looks like a monkey, too symmetrical and boring. Also, the tug has become a bit slack:















Liberties taken, and failiure in the middle. Left one less even out, prob a step too wrong though:





And with bunnies:





I seem to be spreading him out and making him wider than he is tall. I guess this is me tending to slightly caricature his girth in an effort to avoid toning him down.





More shite, messy and doodly:





I did more perhaps too pointless to post.
