It was difficult to do a caricature based on myself because I'm used to seeing my face and I'm not necessarily aware of which facial features are the most prominent. So I did by best to identify main features:
-
large, round eyes
-
small mouth, red lips
-
long eyelashes
-
small chin
-
pointed face
-
freckles
After looking at some character design artists and browsing for inspiration of Pinterest, I set myself the task of sketching a completely random character from scratch in a few mins.
I followed the tutorial, and tested different lightings. This was helpful for me to learn how to build up a face without too much detail, understanding which part of the face is highlighted and which part is shaded. The artist - Sakimichan- had free brushes available for download on his page. I used these while doing this tutorial. This was a quite different style to my previous responses- a more 3 dimensional form. I like this style the most and find the technique simple to follow, its balance between detail and realistic lighting with cartoon features. I will defiantly take this forward and reference it later in my project.

I want to design the concept art for a book I was writing. I have a lot of unused concepts I would like to work with and I am really excited by this idea.
