Thanks for the tips James! I have been drawing the plastic eyes for too long. I'm going to have to work on that one. Have a great day!
Thank you! I used to draw plastic eyes all the time, and I still do sometimes, so I have to keep reminding myself. This video is all advice that I’m giving myself, and I’m glad it helps you also.

It’s your choice how do you want a caricatures your picture? You are the artist after all, but I would say it’s not a mistake if you draw Crazyhead shape.
Jon op de beck forgive the spelling, he has a difficult name, very prominent caricatures. Artist taught me that one of the things, crucial to his caricatures was as he calls it. A funny head shape. He’s not arbitrarily imposing a shape. That’s funny on his pictures, but looking carefully at the subtle nuances of the head horse goal, jr line etc. and exaggerating that so I think you’re being a little hard on you. By saying that it’s a mistake to do that but then again, it’s your picture 🎉
Yes, definitely, the head shape is the most important part of the Caricature. what I meant by crazy head shape is having no structure, like there are no bones under the skin. I can exaggerate to the extreme if I want, but I used to draw a wobbly looking head shape that seemed to have no consistent structure. Thanks for the comment! I’ve seen your videos a long time ago, and I use a line drawing exercise that I learned from one of your videos. Thank you!

Okay I'll stop making these mistakes,I'll be taking these tips to my grave,ha🎨
Great!
I love chicken necks though 😂
Awesome! It’s ok to draw chicken necks!
Completely disagree with this advice. This dude is not a caricature artist, or really doesn't understand the art form, something that is easy to fake but tough to master. The advice he's giving here holds true for conventional portrait drawing, NOT for caricature, where the gloves are off. I would call his drawings stylised line art conventional portraits rather than caricatures and they don't really look like the person because he hasn't understood the proportions of each face. A caricature is an exaggeration of the elements and proportions which make up that particular person's face, which could include a 'chicken neck' etc. if that is what is distinctive about that person. Yes there should be a logic to it but the whole point of a caricature is exaggeration. Ignore this if you want to be a caricature artist and look at 'Caricature Party' instead.
There is a wide range of Caricature styles for different purposes.
This video shows drawings that I did 10 years ago when I was first getting started.
And the advice I’m giving is to myself. It’s also advice for meant for Entertainment and laughs.
When drawing a caricature, it’s also possible to exaggerate what makes that person look good. As well as exaggerating what makes the person different.
I think you may have missed the point and your definition of Caricature is way too rigid. There is an extremely wide range of styles.
But you are correct in that when I am drawing at a party, my style of Caricatures is a stylized portrait that makes the person look good. Because that’s what my clients want. Sometimes they ask for the more exaggerated type, but mostly they like my style.
When I’m drawing at home, I can practice with the more exaggerated styles.
Do you draw caricatures? I’d love to see your work. Please comment with a link to your website.
Here is a link to one of my drawings that is more exaggerated: Live Caricature Drawing Method 40: exaggeration!

Thank you!
@@jamesthomas1123 Don't get me wrong, I think your drawing's are great, I just wouldn't call them caricature. Sorry ! I hope you're not too offended, it's my honest feedback ! I wouldn't consider myself a caricature artist either but I do love the art form. Here are caricature artists I would say are exceptional and from which I would have a lot to learn if I were someone who wanted to develop the specific skill of caricature art, but obviously it's all subjective and I would encourage anyone to explore their own creativity on their own terms :-)

@@billyliar1614 I understand no problem.
I also have a lot of Caricature Artists that I admire who do great exaggerations, like Tom Richmond, Jan Op De Beek, and many more. I am a member of the international Society of Caricature Artist and they are all amazing.
I also do exaggerated Caricatures, but I don’t do them when I am drawing at a wedding or a birthday party. I do a stylized portrait at those live events. Because the clients tell me that they like that style much better. But if I was drawing a caricature for a website or a publication of some sort, I would do the classic exaggerated caricature style.
But there is a such thing as taking the exaggeration too far where it becomes a distortion instead of an exaggeration. But mixing distortion and extreme exaggeration sometimes gets a big laugh.
I think I’m able to do both stylized portraits and caricature exaggerations Depending on what’s best for the clients
Thank you for your honest feedback!
