Just ordered this book The Mad Art of Characiture, earlier today and just discovered your clip. Love your work, every drawing was great. Hope to be this good someday.
MAC EU SOU SUA FÃ NUMERO UM!!! Também sou artista e vivo esse mundo...quando eu resolvi retomar meus trabalhos com caricaturas andei pesquisando varios artistas ,buscava algo que me inspirasse, aí foi quando encontrei você e eu morria de rir com suas caricaturas..é divino o teu trabalho...que o sucesso ande sempre contigo...abraços...
@tscagonic No dice. That realistic caricature is STILL someone's interpretation of a face. There's still some very important creative decision making behind the process of it all whether it's a zany approach or a more level headed construction. That can be done with many lines, or just a few cleverly placed ones. From what I've seen in retail, clients will often times accept a sketch with no likeness or reality to it, rather than face themselves on that page and accept it.
@darknight068 I've also had another situation just drawing in my sketchbook once where the chick walked up, recognized who it was, but told me it wasn't a caricature BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE HIM!!! That's the kind of mindset you have to deal with and often times drawing live is a complicated balance between drawing well (if you can) vs. drawing generalized stuff.
so awesome! im taking art and design this September and this is the main technique i wanna learn! i can draw but i cant seem to get myself to not copy every single detail. lol
Hope you learn a lot about drawing in the class it will be useful later. For caricatures though i would recommend you search for a book called "the mad art of caricature" its the best and only thing you need. Also look up "ISCA Caricature" to find out how you can attend the yearly convention/workshop. Theres a group on facebook called "traditional caricature art contest" that will help you get your feet wet. Have fun!
what advice would you give me if i want to try this lol, what parts of the face should i exagerate? it seems like it all comes together if i just have fun with a caricature portrait
@darknight068 The very unfortunate thing about this line of work is that most people walk into getting one of these with the mindset that it's supposed to look like a cartoon, often times generic. As long as it's cute most people won't give one rats ass if it looks like them or not, hence why people who do generic stamp pictures tend to sell better than good artists. I've had people get mad at sketches I've done BECAUSE it literally looked like them exaggerated (mildly IMO).
Very cool collection of caricatures...! I'm concerned when somebody does not like their cartoon or their portrait, and sometimes even get offended by the end product... How do you personally deal with a situation like that..? Thanks (..maybe I'm the kind of shy person, who would not like to rock thew boat and saying or doing things exactly the way they are...)
@MACGARCIAcom I think you got the likeness down pretty well on most of the people. I have the same problem with mixing the exaggeration and still making the person look alike. You should check TheSubwaysurfer's page, he's got this great method that works. But nice drawing man, keep it up.
@dustiniphelps Not to take anything away from your critique (and I do agree though I believe the work is a bit better than you've implied), but that's an incredibly difficult thing to do when you're doing this in the retail business like he is. You CAN be realistic and do fantastic drawings at that easel, but the thing I've found is that it seems like the better you are at it, the more likely you'll have people antsy about coming to you for a sketch like this.
I don't agree with @dustiniphelps Most people can't understand the work of interpretation/Simplifying/distortion besides the paper. Is very easy to make a realistic caricature and the client will be happy easily but that's very far from the concept of creativity or art, if you want.
POR Q NO HACEN LA PERSONA TAL CUAL ES YA QUE SABEN DIBUJAR EN VES DE HACER ESAS CARICATURAS PATETICAS QUE AL FINAL EL CHABON QUE LAS HACE HACE LO QUE QUIERE

I actually really like these. I've done portraiture for a while now, but want to try my hand at caricature. May I ask what sort of pen you use?
Love your art :D

Hola, me podras decir como se llama esa tècnicA Y COMO LA PUEDO APRENDER
How much does it take time to draw a picture live (just curius) ?
You should search for "the mad art of caricature book" for sure!
what do you use for color?? markers and water color? or aibrush and markers???
For that one I used the old design marker on a glossy paper and colored with tombow watercolor markers.
