A beginner's journey through his first 500 caricatures. “I often tell eager young caricaturists they have about 500 or so bad caricatures in them before they start noticing the subtle things that hide inside the ordinary face.” - Tom Richmond
Here is my buddy Jed's caricature after digital coloring. Next will come his body in coveralls holding a pitchfork with a big ham on it and Jed's Meat Shack in the background.
Wow, time flies when you get into other things and away from drawing.
I have been working on about a half dozen websites lately and haven't had any time to work on caricatures. Luckily, one of the sites I am taking on is for a good buddy of mine and a caricature may be perfect for his logo.
Jed is a good ol' boy from Oklahoma. He is starting up a BBQ and smoked meat business and wants a logo and website. Jed's Meat Shack screams caricature, doesn't it?
I haven't worked out all the details but I sat and made a brief sketch of him last night. I will need to work up a farmer's body and some props as well as a "meat shack."
