How to Draw a Caricature - Caricature Demonstration - Easy Pictures to Draw

How to Draw a Caricature - Caricature Demonstration - Easy Pictures to Draw 

In this video I go through a caricature from beginning to end. I take a photo from a 70s reference book of an older male. I start going over how I chose what features to exaggerate.

I think of the overall impression I get just from looking at the picture for a second. I have to ask myself, "what is my first impression?."  Do not over think! The first 2 things that come to me are "his nose angles down and is larger then normal, and this makes his eyes look smaller then average. So I have my first two drawing decisions. Making his nose larger will invariably cover a part of his mouth. Covering his mouth a little gives the impression of a much much larger nose. You can choose how far you want to take the exaggeration. Everyone does it a little differently. Even you will do it differently depending on your mood. How to draw books are good.

A good exercise is to draw the same face three times while emphasizing different aspects. This will never escape you even while walking around on the street. The practice of analyzing people's facial proportions will follow you for a while, if you do this often enough. I am going to go through several more processes in the next video, I hope this helped a little on exaggeration.  Make all things Easy Pictures to Draw!

How to Draw Goku Eyes - Easy Pictures to Draw

How to Draw Goku Eyes - Easy Pictures to Draw

Dragonball is a story that follows Goku, and alien that defends the earth from a series of different villains.  Based on a manga created by Akira Toriyama, the anime gained massive popularity in the US in the mid 90s.
The show still had a massive fanbase (I'm part of it).

I go through a few different ways on drawing Goku Eyes. Goku's easys are very similar to most other characters in the dragonball universe. Most have a rectangular appearance. Think of a rectangle that slowly gets larger as it moves from the inside to the outside. This eye is in an expression of anger, so it ill have this descending V-shape towards the center. The eyes are much larger in proportion then the average  human eye.

Things to Remember:

-start from the inside out to get the center of the face placement correctly.
-if you do not make them symmetrical, make the difference obvious, so it looks like you did it on purpose.
-be careful not to make him look cross-eyed

I've made this small step by step below, and check Out the Video for more info! :D

How to Draw a Ps3 - Easy Pictures to Draw 

I go into how to draw the PS3.  The pS3 have been around for 6 years or so and has become one of the most sucessful current consoles. With the Sony PS4 on the rise, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the design of the PS3. Considering there are several versions, I choose one and dissect the anatomy of how to draw it. The PS3 had a large overall shape of a box from above. When looking down on it from 3 quarters though, it has the shape of a taco or hot pocket. This is going to lend to simplifying down the large forms.

When drawing anything, think from large to small shapes. What is the largest overall shape of what you are looking at. Then think of smaller secondary shapes. To me the PS3 looks like a hotpocket with grooves cut out of it. These grooves are where the disc will enter.

The PS3 is not very hard to draw. Just don't forget its 3 dimensionality when drawing.

Thanks Guys, and keep on drawing.
