Happy 70th Super Ma!!!

Caricature of my wife's mum. 
Big 70th birthday coming up so it seemed doing the super hero costume was called for.
I've been studying a digital artist called Jackademus. What I like about his style that I tried to incorporate here was the shading. He's an awesome artist, go check him out here.

Photoshop Caricature

This is my brother-Law Mark.

Always the challenge to try and capture the spirit of your subject and not just rely on drawing a big head little body.

Tools used were my brain (ouch), a few A4 sheets and Photoshop CS3.

I'm currently using a technique that works well with a optical mouse....yes I'm one of those people. I lay down flats (a comic technique) then shade in again over that base flat colour.
