caricatures

[Stefano]

They come from 25 years of practice.

A talented artist with a sharp wit! Short, quick response inferring your assertion was obvious...but methinks from looking at some of your work that you were born with both a natural talent to draw with your hands/a utensil; as well a natural drive to continually practice...

Just guessing.

Either way congrats, your comic art skills look top notch to me.

Stefano,

Thanks for the kind words.

To answer a little more seriously, I have been drawing and doodling since I can remember. My early inspiration came from comic books and Star Wars.

Years and years of practice with a pen or pencil led to what you see here - I've only had Photoshop for about 2-3 years.

With your natural drawing skills and considering your 'Don't Poke the Bear' project that I looked at, I think you could produce and sell a recurring comic strip in Photoshop! Dooo eeeet!

Gurus could help with story/joke ideas.... :mrgreen:

Heh just spitballin' here, but 'Don't Poke the Bear' is AAA quality comic strip art!

Thanks, Stefano.

I've actually been working on a comic strip with a dog for quite a while now.

Need to get a few more knocked out, and then start submitting them.

That's really great. Best of luck with it all Agent Moeller! Keep at it, your talent foreshadows success!

OK.

I shortened my neck, so I look a little less bizarre.

Wife's happy now.

I love the first one....I think I spent a good few minutes staring at it. Nice work!

 

[agentmoeller]

The first one meaning the very first caricature in the thread?

Thanks, in any case. I appreciate the compliment. I have been working hard on the caricatures. I think I have about 50 now.

Here's another one. I had mentioned this picture on another thread - it was drawn originally on lined paper. I scanned it, opened it in Ps and did a combination of selection adjustments and erasing to get the lines bold and all the paperlines gone.

I like how this turned out.

Woa, yea the one on the first page, didn't even see all the other pages. Oops

you got some good stuff man.

Hey hey,

So I recently discovered liquify (thanks Paul!) for creating caricatures in Photoshop. Jeez, what a cool and powerful tool.

I have not been able to stop making caricatures! :banghead:

Anyway I put together a bunch of the ones I have done so far (as well as the images I started with), and would love any feedback you guys have on them. Particularly you, agentmoeller!

I hope I am not hijacking the thread.





Thanks for looking!
