Learning Art ~ Advanced

Posted Oct 2013

Here are three pictures that I drew from the same one face that I just found on the web. They are all usable. They are all correct. But one is better than another. The first one shows

a caricature

the answers, but not very good. You'll see what the boy looks like. Pink cheeks, big lower lip, long hair covering big sad eyes, etc. The picture could be used as a cartoon. But it's so simple. Not hightly evolved. A little stiff. Not expressive enough:

The second one is much better. The hair still covers the eyes ~ I thought I wanted to emphasize that for this boy. The pinkness of his very pink cheeks doesn't get lost. The mouth is saying more. I might have been satisfied with it. But I thought it needed a little background. Added in that shape behind his head, and eeeks, whatever I was doing was ruined:

The third one is the good one. Useable. Looks even better in person. Because here I made a very important decision. Yes, the boy had long bangs which I could choose to emphasize by making them even longer to cover his eyes. The long bangs was the first thing I had noticed, and that is a valid Caricature choice. For some faces. But in this case, it was not a good idea to make the bangs so long that they covered the eyes. Because the big round eyes was a very important part of what I was seeing on this boy's expression. (I am called Caricature Express.) So I showed the large amount of hair, made it big, but did not place it in such as way as to cover the eyes. Certainly Not to say that we must never cover the eyes with the hair, but in this case, it didn't work well enough. The third picture is the best one:
