“I realized…I don’t do forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift. We have the capacity to like everybody if we understand where they are coming from. Forgiveness is freeing. We learn until the day we die.”
“Do the homework then the prayer kicks in.”
(Quotes from a local meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I attended)
Trying a new caricature technique I heard over at James Gurney’s blog: instead of thinking about which features to make bigger, think of which features to SHRINK.
Using caricature (and some unseen nose and baldie studies) to draw my nosferatu novel’s main character. Tiny crown for the win!
Trading accuracy for more caricature-style distortion. Eh.
STILL not through the 2016 art backlog! But these should be the end of the gray church sketchbooks (did I mention my husband got me a tan one? HAR!).
Dude in the upper right is my 2017 masterpiece. Never gonna top that. (But the squooshed dracula on the bottom is adorbs.)
Finished scanning my grey sketchbook!! Posting pages out of order.
Comic artist Dirk Grundy reminded me in a recent post that caricature is an important skill, too! So instead of aiming for +++ accuracy (like the upper left image), I thought I’d try messing with proportions (like the lower left drawing!). OK, so it’s more like a “portrait charge” (French, look it up) than a hardcore caricature, but still!
