As an extension of the portrait-quickies I've been doing in the Speed Painting II thread I decided to do charicatures of the members of a writing group I'm with. These are the first six, I think there are about twenty members.

Actually very happy with how these turned out, which is a surprise considering how frustrating the straight portraits were. Charicatures are sooo much easier.

Wow! Very nice! I'm loving the detail around the eyes/chins. The fourth one looks a bit like Rosie O'Donnell.

Oh I love them! They look great. I dunno why but I love the glare on the glasses of the first guy! Great work! I love how a simple line of color makes that highlight on the side of the face. great stuff!

Sumaleth · Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2002 2:27 am

Not totally happy with this one but I've already spent too long on it.

duck · Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2002 6:25 pm

this picture is great.
I'm also very interested in face.

Highfive · Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2002 1:13 am

Haha, that guy with the moustache is just brilliant! Great stuff, Sumaleth. Hope you're having fun with this and not getting abuse from your work-mates for screwing up their features

! I doubt you would, though.

Sumaleth · Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2002 9:20 pm

Thanks for the comments! They have enjoyed the pictures, although personally I'm less than happy with #9 and #14 (last one).

The lesson learned is that caricatures are largely a 2D "special effect" and if you try to apply them to a 3D face (ie. one thats turned from front on) it's much, much harder. Although Kruger does it no problem, so I guess it's just a matter of practice, but for now I need to stick to mostly front-on pictures I think.

Guy-Incognito · Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2002 11:53 pm

These really are fantastic!

Your seventh is easily the best. How can anybody have a face like that? Brilliant.

shahar2k · Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2002 3:17 am

dont you find it so much easier doing caricatures of people you know? I tried doing a caricature of george W. bush (no, not as a monkey!) and just couldnt pull it off, took me about 60 reference images and videos to get him right

grimsheep · Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2002 9:39 am

I love charicatures, and these are great. I have a couple Krugers on my wall
