Title: It's me... as a caricature!
Name: Char Reed
Country: Norway
Software: Photoshop

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show off my latest creation, started and completed tonight. I've been massively massively inspired by the likes of Bobby Chiu and Joe Bluhm recently, and it's definately given me the inspirational lift I believe that has pushed my art to the next "level". I have to give out a special shout out to Bobby for taking the time out of his busy schedule to respond to an email I wrote. It really inspired me, and even though it wasn't a huge long email or anything, just that he responded was a great pick-me-up. Thanks so much!

I am pretty proud of how this piece turned out. It's my first completed caricature. I'd greatly appreciate any critique even though I have called it finished. I hope you all like. Thanks for looking!

Here is the reference this piece was extrapolated from :) -> http://www.charrartist.com/Art/CharRef1.jpg (I was trying to make a funny face!)

great form definittion and expression!
It would be interesting to see a photo to get an idea of likeness.( RE REF: **OOPS! - I should read before I speak :blush:
I like the drawing very much, but IMHO the likeness is not really strong yet, but keep on going for it. :thumbsup:


Another Great Caritaturist Chis Wahl wrote the following advice to aspiring caricaturists:


"Pay extra attention when drawing the eyes.
Also the devil's in the details. Pay close attention to even the most smallest feature/wrinkle/blemish etc. on a person. They all contribute to a good likeness.
...and yeah, practice. "


MODS - if this ref is a no-no pls remove: a great practice place for caricaturists is at the following location:

Very good work!
