Caricature Drawing Process with Tips in the Description | Sketching, Inking & Shading | How-to Draw

Описание: Here is my process for drawing a caricature from a photo reference.

00:00 I start with a quick sketch using Caran D'ache 3mm Pencil. Here I don't worry about details, just blocking in basic shapes. This segment is 4x original speed. The rest of the video is 2x original speed.

00:23 After the rough sketch is done, I start inking using a basic black Crayola marker. Since this is a 3/4 view, I begin with the nose, especially because in this case it is fairly prominent.

01:08 Typically I draw eyes before eyebrows, but because the subject is squinting a bit here, I draw the furrowed brow and eyebrows first because those features overlap the eyes themselves.

01:41 Now I start with the brim of the hat. Notice how my arm does most of the work for big, swooping shapes. My wrist moves very little here.

01:59 Time for the ears! I like to draw ears that are fairly realistic, but simplifying ear structure to be more cartoony is definitely OK too.

02:17 Adding the neck and some additional details.

03:34 Now it's time to start shading. Here I'm using cool grey Prismacolor markers. I begin using darker shades, then move to lighter shades, but starting light and building up to darker tones is a good approach too.

05:21 I make sure to think about where the highlights need to go (such as on the ball of the nose) and shade around those areas.

07:49 Now I fill in the hat. I like making clothing and accessories like hats, shirts, etc. darker to add more contrast and visual interest to the drawing.

08:22 Finally I go in with a lighter grey marker to make the overall shading softer.

10:48 Time to add my signature. Done! Thanks for watching.
