Greetings, fellow caricaturists! I believe we are all cut from the same cloth in that we LOVE caricature. I’ve found that after 20 years of doing caricature, I still love it. It’s still one of the hardest things to do, and yet it remains so stinkin’ cool. I find it difficult because the image I envision in my head sometimes requires a lot of effort to pull off. Sometimes I have to push through mediocrity and make the image look like the image in my mind. Other times, what comes out of my hand feels half-baked and I bail on the image. If it’s a paying job, I hang tight until it rises to the level in my head. Caricature is tough, and I’ve found there are no slam dunks.
 
  
Just when I thought Woody Allen was a piece of cake on a gig a few years back, my attempts were mediocre at best, as I struggled late into the night. I went to bed feeling like a loser and got up early and attempted Woody with a fresh mind and fresh eyes. Boom, it worked! So the moral of the story is, if you struggle, join the club. Slap mediocrity in the face and press on and know that each struggle is only making you stronger.

What I hope to do here in my step-by-step is unpack my thinking and give principle over just copying my moves. I worked this piece digitally and I’m using a prismatic palette. I have included the palette in this tutorial and it could prove helpful to you. There really are no wrong ways to paint, but I enjoy working this way. The idea behind this palette is that the colors in the light have a yellow hue (the sun) on top of them and the colors in the shadows have a violet hue on top of them. The palette is divided up into two sections: the light effect (yellowish) and the shadow mass (violety).

As per the tradition, last year’s Golden Nosey winner, Jason Seiler, has the honor of caricaturing this year’s big winner, Glenn Ferguson. Here’s what Jason had to say about his take on the cover: “I can hardly think of Glenn without also thinking of JoAnn by his side. They are a great couple, both filled with so much character and obvious love for one another. So obviously, I couldn’t paint this year’s Gold Nosey winner without his trusty companion. I’m not sure who wanted that Gold Nosey more, Glenn or JoAnn? Hee Heee! I can picture them at home watching CSI Miami, and taking turns holding the Nosey, hugging it, kissing it, and finally reading it good night stories before bed. I’m sure there will be situations when JoAnn will have to remove the Nosey and hold Glenn back . . . . ‘Not now Glenn, you can hold your Nosey later!’ Congrats, Glenn!”

Step One: Main Swipe

Find an AWESOME shot of the subject! This is where everything starts and stops for me. Don’t settle for anything less. Take the extra time needed to nail this rule. I always take as much time as possible to find the greatest photo/image that really captures the subject for me. It must be high resolution if possible, and have a great sense of light.

I also use other shots of the subject as well. Sometimes other shots show a better take on the hair or a nose or the eyes. But I can always rest in the power of that first image.
