 * Howdy-Doo, fellow caricature artists! I’m super thrilled to have the opportunity to teach you folks about a great caricature tip that I regularly use! This is just one of the many ideas you can apply to caricature. I have always said, “a brain packed with ideas packs cool caricatures.” Well...I’ve Actually never said that, but HEY! I’m saying it now. Because it’s actually quite true. I would say the most vital part about caricature is having ideas originate from the subject you’re drawing. It can be tricky trying to establish an idea or concept that matches with the individual you have to draw. Therefore, it’s always wise to collect as many ideas you can along your caricature journey.

+* So let's get started! I call this caricature tip Direction. Direction is the gesture of how a shape will flow according to the subject’s features. This idea allows a shape to have a certain motion, instead of having the shape seem lethargic or idle. Direction creates a dynamic feel of how a feature can act, which in turn establishes an idea of how you can exaggerate a feature. Direction will also tell you how much you can pull or pinch a feature. By following the shape’s direction, you will be able to get a sense of how much a feature can stretch or shrink.
 * As caricature artists, we know that shapes help us construct a basic form according to an individual. Although, when taking this idea at face value it can lead an artist to create stiff or unbalanced drawings. I have always found it best to appreciate shapes as having a behavior. Shapes can be energetic, sharp and angular or, they can be wispy, curvy, and plump. Sometimes stretchy, pinched, or droopy. Either way, shapes have a certain personality to them, and finding the direction in which these shapes act will give you so many ideas on how to exaggerate them.

 * Second, we’ll find Steve’s angular edges and trace their corresponding directions. The lime-green arrows serve as the longer flowing angles, and the light-blue arrows represent the shorter flowing angles.

 * Now, with the final sketch, you can see how I kept the directional lines as with the original reference picture. Of course, I made some of the directional lines longer or shorter, depending on the direction of the curve or edge. But I kept the idea of the motion of each feature. For example, having a long, curvy shape become longer and curvier.

 * Direction is a really great concept to keep in mind with caricature. You can apply it with basically every face, and it will really help you to push features that you never thought you could. Just remember to stay true to the direction of the subject’s features, and feel the motion of the shapes during the sketching process. I hope this caricature tip will help you along on your caricature journey. Until next time, folks, take care!
