After completing Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo's light and color Schoolism course (in which I learned a lot), I decided to move on to the Caricature class offered by Jason Seiler. I like creating images that tell a humorous story, so I think learning to capture and exaggerate a person's face is the logical step forward in my art education. For week 1 and week 2's assignments, we were required to do sketches of the "citizens" based on the photos Seiler provided. I felt that the drawings I did in week 1 were too "tame" and tried to push for more exaggeration in week 2. Week 3's assignment was doing a grayscale paintover of a sketch that Seiler did. It was alot of fun and I really like the end result. This proves that the sketch is always the most important component of any artwork. Week 4's assignment is similar to week 3's in the sense that we are supposed to produce a well rendered caricature. The twist is that we are supposed to do the initial sketch ourselves and the final product can be a sepia painting.
We were given 3 photos of Johnny Cash to sketch. I think my 2nd sketch had some potential to be pushed further, but I personally don't think the source photo resembled my impression of Mr. Cash. I decided to go with number 3 in the end.
