Guess who ?

Caricature, a portrait of a person with exaggeration or distortion but can still be identifies easily.
Almost all professional cartoonist can make caricature with their own unique style. Some artist make a living by selling caricature.

And I, a learner, experimenter feel like learning caricature this week. Last week I did learn ambigram and created a few. Self taught ? I don't think so, I've learn from other blogger that have same interest, online tutorial, comments and by observing other people artwork.

Bottom of this post is one link to digital caricature tutorial. This tutorial will guide you to draw a basic and simple digital caricature step by step from sketching the outline, coloring and shadow location. The same drawing and coloring techniques can be apply to the physical caricature drawing (drawn on paper) too.

Okay, guess who? Your coment is very much appreciated.

Thanks
