Hello Everyone,
I’m John, it’s my first time to post artwork here in CGS for critique. I’m still new to caricatures and been learning from online tutorials only. I’ve been working on this one for two days already and I can’t seem to find the right colors and right composition. I think it’s a bit off.
Your feedback would be much appreciated. 
THanks!
here it is.
There isn’t much you can do with an iconic composition–it’s just the subject smack in the middle of the image. You can fix the cropping though–the two sides are cropped too tight and pushing in on his arms.
In terms of color, this is almost monochromatic. Did you actually want this to be full-color?
Something’s really odd with his Adam’s Apple–it looks like a flesh wound instead.
Is that a watch on his wrist? If so, don’t arbitrarily make something too vague, because we need to be able to recognize and understand everything in an image, even if it’s not supposed to be important, it still has to be easily readable.
The face is pretty good. It seems odd that he would have reflected light on both sides of his face.
The upper arms don’t appear to be coming out of his shoulders… especially his left arm (our right)… maybe pick up Bridgman for some arm reference. Also, use the elbow crease (inside of the elbow crease) to push the upper arm behind the mass of the forearm (right arm/our left).
