Designing Your Drawings to Look COOL ⛄ - Final Sketch Caricature Critique
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2017
- Court critiques a student’s final sketch of Tommy Lee Jones and explains how he designs eyes to get a finished look and get the “cool factor”. There’s a bunch more final sketch critiques at proko.com/caricature
In this student critique, Court shows how to design eyes using shape, value, and edge. He also breaks down the differences between getting a realistic rendering and more cartoon rendering of the eyes and talks about how age affects the way you would draw each eye. This critique will help you get a more finished look to your caricature drawings (especially when it comes to old man eyes! LOL).

What you said about older men having smaller eyes I had never noticed that before. I would normally just draw everyone's eyes the same way. But now I see it, I definitely realise that everyone's eyes look fairly different from person to person, (especially between two people with a significant age gap). Super helpful:D

Older people in general usually have eyes that appear smaller because the skin and fat above the eyelids drop down and then will give the appearance of smaller hooded eyes.
Great videos man! Been a fan since I joined ISCA years ago looking in on the forum threads you'd have. They were highly informative then and I see your videos are just as informative as they were! Looking forward to more down the line.
Thanks for sharing your expertise! You are definitely talented with the art of caricatures... and have heart of teacher to gently mention what can be improved .
Good critique, nice "overpainting". Lucky student to have you as a mentor!
Great video, great drawing! I have always struggled with balancing realism and abstraction and this clarified that part a lot.
It's kind of funny, that student that drew the picture and I make the exact same mistakes. It was weird seeing it critiqued almost as if my own stuff was being critiqed. Outside of art, if anyone critiqued my work I do for a living, I would be fully on board with it even if it was hard to hear because it helps me improve, much like a body builder looks for sore muscles as confirmation they worked out well. But I'm like a big baby when it comes to art for some reason and it's hard to have that adult mindset of critique is good. Maybe because art is more personal than other trades?
Yeah, you kind of pour your soul into your art. That's often not the case for a spreadsheet or other non-artistic work : )
Great great great Proko greetings!
ily agreed the picture is amazing
Ótimas dicas!!!
Very nice video.
This is a great vid btw im new here!
Nice video!! What device are you using to draw with?
Drawing on a 27 inch Wacom Cintiq
I use a MSP but find myself using my art pen more than the propen2 simply because of the lack of tips. I go through about 2 felts a week with the pp2, and artpen still has the original rubber core tip in it from when I bought it lol.
What program and brush is he using?
Master!!
Brilliant!!
So older men has smaller eyes, but not necessarily squinty. How can you capture the abstraction of it? I mean from the sagging flesh above and all, it's kinda confusing to distinguish between the eye itself. (sorry bad english)
Older faces actually should make drawing the Abstraction easier, because of all of the lines and pockets of visible fat pads on the face. Those facial structures show you exactly where the rhythm lines should go. Just try to make separate rhythms for the outer borders of the eyes and the eyelids. I show my standard Abstraction diagram in lesson 4 of this series, which you can find in the Art of Caricature Playlist on the main page of the Proko TH-cam channel.
Court Jones Thank you for your suggestion Mr. Court. Separate rhythms it is. I checked the video and looks like you made the rhythms resembling upward-slanted eye but in the abstraction critiques video you made a circle first then the lids and everything. I'll try to use what's best for my drawing. Thank you very much!
What program are you using to draw?
He's drawing in photoshop using Kyle Webster's animation pencil brush.
Thanks! I'll check it out!
Thank you! I got the Kylebrush megapack last week and need to find that pencil brush. There were so many brushes in that pack, like 800MB it's hard to try them all.
what if the portrait is not exactly same....I m stressing so much on the exact out come!!!......what do I do....please reply?
I'm not sure if I understand the exact problem you're having. But as a general comment, I enjoy seeing traditional portraits where the artist re-designs the shapes or brush strokes in interesting ways, while still maintaining the overall integrity of the likeness. In other words, the exact shapes you see in the model are not the exact shapes you need to draw. Feel free to translate the original shapes into your own language. As long as they are placed accurately and are of the right value, it will be a successful portrait. To see what I mean, look at the drawings of Fechin, Dean Cornwell or Leyendecker. All of them had a distinctive look to how they designed shapes. And the same is true for caricature, like in the drawing in this video.
thank you for your patience to reply me back.....thank yoy
So what I want to know is what kind of brush were you using to get that kind of easy control over shade. Getting digital tools to respond like graphite and charcoal is 50% of the struggle of learning digital art.
Subparanon It works with any brush honestly. In digital art, brushes doesn't determine the artworks look as long aa you get it right. If you are looking for charcoal kind or traditional brushes, you can always go online and download them!
Easier said than done. :) There are plenty of brush effects sure, but something very close to what people naturally do with real media is harder than it sounds. It's hard to get blending and subtle shading in an intuitive and natural way. It's not the digitizer or tablet, and it's not necessarily the software, it's the brushes and they absolutely determine the look. Paint something with a pen tool and it's going to look completely different than an airbrush tool or a brush tool. With real pencils they have 1 color, but how hard you press and how long you go over a spot to add depth greatly determine the shade and they are nearly infinite shades. On digital media though it is very difficult to get those super fine differences of shade without obvious lines. You can lower brush loading or opacity, but even very low it's still easy to see banding and it can become so see through that you have to spend a very long time building up the tone until it's dark enough to be where you want it.
Case in point, I can draw a photo realistic eye with a real airbrush in about 2 minutes flat including very subtle shading around the white of the eye and the cleft around the nose. Doing it with graphite takes maybe 5 minutes. Doing it with a Wacom Cintiq takes about 10 minutes to make it as smooth and natural looking. Yeah you get instant undo, but everything else is harder until you get your brushes set up in a way that works for you.
Subparanon, sorry I didn't answer this earlier. I just now saw this question. But I totally get what you're saying about the subtle and not so subtle differences between tools. It's true that it's not the defining factor in great art. But I, just like anyone else, loves to know about the drawings tools and surfaces used by artists I admire. In this case I was using "Kyle's Animator Pencil" offered by Kyle Webster on his Gumroad page. It's designed to mimic the look of the classic Blackwing graphite pencils that animators used back in the day. It's my favorite Photoshop drawing brush. It's actually free right now on his page. But it's nice to leave a donation for downloading it.
I'll have to check to see if that's included in the Mega Brush Pack I purchased. I've seen Kyle mentioned here on Proko and also on Schoolisms channel. So many brushes though it's hard to know where to start. I get good results with Kyle's drawing box charcoal by lowering the texture a bit, reducing pen loading, changing to multiply screen mode and using a very light grey. This lets me build up shading as even though it's very light grey, every stroke darkens it all the way to black if I kept at it. The lighter the shade I use in multiply mode, the finer the shading but longer it takes to build it up. Gives great control, but still very difficult to get a work flow I like. I really wish there was a digital airbrush as I do my fastest work with an Iwata Eclipse irl, but Wacom's airbrush pen isn't a total solution if they don't include calibrated and realistic airbrush 'brushes'. Thanks for replying and I'll look for that Animator Pencil.
God, this guy is so cute and good. Great tips for me.
Proko please you could put subtitles to your videos or they already have if I am writing badly this is because I diffuse the English
Hey Jorge, The english subtitles are already on this video :)
in spanish
Hm. I actually liked the bigger eyes on the original fan art. They lended a different vibe - illustrative with more like a sweet, misunderstood old man vibe whereas yours seems more more bad-ass and caricature. I do like how you cleaned it up tho - i think a compromise would have be pretty spectacular!
i love your video's you help me .... :-*
hi
Sorry for not saying that the Spanish subtitles if you can put it and it does not bother you I do not understand much English as a 10 percent
jorge gumeta i'm pretty sure he doesn't speak spanish
Where is he?
God I thought you see everything and know everything?
Don't believe everything you read on the internet!
I recorded at the Proko studio in San Diego. Oh, BTW, thanks for the Universe and stuff! It's pretty cool.
Proko ur scaring me, ur at 666 k subs😂
first :)
second, I guess?
MyNigh William sired probably?
Original caricature nose is better...
Joe Moya Original nose was off kilter. I get what they were after but it honestly didn't look like it belonged on that face the way it was. Now is the correction exaggerated enough? That's highly subjective. But at the minimum it's at least correctly placed. I think having the rest of the face rendered would've been better to judge it by, but even so overall the advice here is more than sound.
