Picking a celebrity for the final assignment. And a sketch of a supplied citizen. Came across a picture of Bill Walton, a Basketball Hall of Famer I believe. Had to try drawing that face.

Assignment 6
This time we got to draw some skulls over our sketches. I do like drawing skulls. I haven't since high school, but I sure did a lot back then. Just with sharper teeth and more fire. I'm getting some better likenesses, but having a hard time pushing things. The large fella was the most successful exaggeration I think.

class 5
I still feel I'm doing more of a portrait then a caricature, but the likenesses were more accurate this time. Had some fun as was able to get lost in drawing.

class 4
Class 4: do some sketches, pick the best one and do a value painting of it. I've been corrected that I'm actually doing a "grisalle." Regardless, these citizens were very challenging. I have only one sketch of each citizen that I feel is going in the right direction. Non that I am happy with. And I didn't have enough time to paint.
So I focused on the sketches trying to get something I felt bore a resemblance to the subject, while pushing features. Unfortunately I feel like I took a step back on these. Instead of a caricature, I felt like I'm left with a poorly done, very amateur portrait. Getting distracted by details. I'll need to find some examples of simplified exaggerated caricature and copy those some day. Very frustrating, so I just kept plugging along. It just means another breakthrough is around the corner. These are in reverse order. My final is first, and the first thumbnails I did are at the end of the post.
