Let's Review the Basics from Tom's Mad Blog!
Outlining A Simple, Human Face
|
Part One:
|
The Five Shapes of the Face
|
According to Tom's Mad Blog;
why it is so important to form a strong foundation in your drawings?
|
Part Two:
Manipulating the foundations of the five simple shapes is the largest component in drawing your caricatures. Exaggerations, distance, size and angles, are of the upmost important features in your drawings. |
Compare and contrast the differences explained in Tom's Mad Blog, between traditional portraiture and caricatures?
|
Part Three:
Relationships between angles, sizes, distances in the various faces you are drawing will always be different. It is must easier to start with the basic five shapes and work from there. Keep It Simple. |

Let's Get Started!
Step One: Bring to class a photograph of yourself, a family member or a friend.
Step Two: Back to basics! Let's make it simple! Sketch the first of the five shapes, (the outline of the face), from your picture on a blank sheet of sketchbook.
Step Three: Look at the four shapes. Draw in the shapes of the eye one, eye two, the mouth the nose into the shape of your face.
Look closely at the relationships between size, distance, and angles in your exaggerations.
Step Four: Begin adding details to your sketches, such as eye lashes, chin and mouth details, eye brows etc... while sculpting and editing the details of the shapes you've placed on the face.
Step Five: Perfect the details of your face, adding dimples, cheek bones, nostrals, ears, under-eye marks etc...
Step Six: Begin shading your drawing, (cross-hatching, hatching, pointallism, blending etc..), of your choice to finalize your drawing.
Step Seven: Sign your name at the bottom of your sheet, and staple the picture you chose as your caricature inspiration onto the back of your sheet.
