Caricature Lecture and Links

Thanks to all the people that showed up to the lecture here is the basic ideas that I was trying to tell you guys about.

Things to keep in mind:

-Silhouette is important!

-Look for landmark features and emphasize them (every person will be different)

-Over doing it is better than under doing it

-Don't try to be nice :)

Ways to practice:

-Isolate facial features

-Study the anatomy of the face

-Study the structure of the face and how light affects it

In all honesty the best way to practice is to just go for it. It's fun to do and really hard to stop.

Photoshop Class Notes

From Kristina's class on Feb 11:

All studios are looking for solid drawing foundation and ideas. Its not just about the
pretty paint, but the idea behind it.

Finding your own voice
- looking at what you like
- incorporating aspects you like into your own, but not copying it
- honesty

A Good Painting is a Good idea
- don’t rush, think deeply
- research
- the more thought put into the beginning, the more effective
- Before you start a painting, everything must be solved in small scale!

PHOTOSHOP TIPS & TRICKS (ones I use)

- [ ] : Brush size
- 2,4,6. Etc: opacity
