I probably won’t post all the art lessons that Alex puts on line (although I might, because the ones so far are great), but I tried this one this morning and enjoyed it enough that I thought you might be inspired to try it yourself after seeing how my attempt came out. If I can do it, anybody can do it!
In Alex’ lesson, she did a caricature of herself. But I didn’t know how to draw wrinkles, so instead of doing one of myself I looked for a face-forward picture of one of my loved ones to use, and the first one I came across was of DD. So here is the caricature I drew of her. Because she coaches volleyball, I put her in that setting.
If you are intrigued at all by learning how to draw a caricature, I recommend that you watch Alex’ video (actually it’s in two parts, I and II) and then give it a try yourself. This was really fun.
I’m pretty impressed. I just watched Alex’ video, and it looks as if you followed her instructions very well. All I ask is that you refrain from drawing one of me.
Linda — I’ll stop working on it right now.
That drawing is spot-on Sandra. Well done. I have saved her URL so will watch more videos later – Dave.
Dave — If you give it try, be sure to let me know. I’d like to see it! I enjoyed it so much that I went to an art supply store and bought some drawing paper (this one was on coarse children’s construction paper), oil pastels and better-than-the-average colored pencils. I’m going to try some more.
