Gentelmenly Chap (Caricature Portrait)

[alex_86]

Here you go! I didn't finish it the way I was going to; thought it might look too busy with all the furnishings in the background. Plus the way I drew the guy, he would have looked dettached as if standing infront of a picture screen. Therefore I just added a photo backdrop. Enjoy...

No eye glass or cane?

[alex_86]

Hes got a cane (with a gold handle)...but ya I suppose I could have added a monocle :p Thnx for input!

Well I think the proportions are a little off..

Just kidding ;)

Nice job on it, really love it. Something about the eyes startles me, in a good way. The only thing I would change if this was my own would maybe to make the jaket a little lighter, adding highlights an all. It looks good though, nice caricature :)

I knew it...you are absolutely right. I think what you noticed about the jacket is that it has no light gradient from right to left. If you look, the left side has the same tones as the right, even though the face has differing shades as it gets closer to the light. I was thinking this before, but I wasn't sure if it was just me, u know.

THE EYE...ya the light doesnt bounce off of it correctly so it looks unnatural and flat. But i thought, hey hes a caricature, his jaw is the size of his forearm, and I decided to leave it.
