Peter Jackson caricatures

This is a pen sketch I did quite some years ago. Found it the other day and thought I'd post it online. I cringe when I look at his feet but oh well.... always a WIP, always learning.

I'm still happy with the shading and hatching. 

This one I did up last year. I know at the time I was aiming for a clean feel to it. Which I did find challenging because whatever lines you choose to leave out you hope you can still capture the look of the person.

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.
