From Idea to Sketch - Rough Sketch Caricature - Proko
video description
The comment that Drew has -average- features begs a question that I could ask in response to Stan's question about -the rough- lesson. If even someone like Drew Barrymore tends to fall within the rule of thirds and her eyes probably land in the middle line of her head. When I depart from these rules in life drawing its at my own peril. How does it happen if these things are pretty consistent that the differences happen? 2D shapes for sure but also there seem to be a lot of challenging-to-convey depth cues. Like a protruding brow a big nose coming at you from a more front facing position. Or CHEEKS -the forbidden topic-. Side plane of nose to cheekbone ear to jaw. I've been in this game for decades and I have yet to see anyone tackle a cheek lesson online or in the classroom. The closest thing I have seen is the Reilly method which indicates it. Here is a more bite size cheek question related the discussion of femininity and attractiveness. How to indicate the cheek in a smile so it stays pretty and real and comes up to the eyes, yet avoids aging a woman or accidentally creating a sneer.

i don't understand how this is capturing the likeness, wouldn't you accentuate the size of the forehead and hair and maybe the smile lines? at least to me those are the most prominent features. i don't see how the chin that literally takes up 1/3 of the face creates a convincing/exaggerated likeness.

I thought a caricature is supposed to exaggerate the features of a real person. Drew Barrymore doesn't have a long chin, why would anyone enhance that? Her face shape is rather average, I would certainly focus on other features, since the caricature doesn't even resemble Drew anymore.

This looks great! I am so glad you weren't afraid to exaggerate her features, because I usually see great caricatures of men but for women it seems like people are afraid to exaggerate features so it tends to be more of a cartoony version of the woman instead of a caricature.

My critique is that the caricature mouth is way off center, too far to the left. I thought the features are supposed to adhere to the center line down the face unless a feature is off-center already. I don't see that being the case in this source photo, even though the pose is weird.

I'm sorry, you are amazing, Court, but I don't recognize Drew. Yes, she has a prominent chin, but. Also, her nose is very straight. And her right eye is round and left is narrow.

The drawing looks more recognizable as Drew Barrymore than the photo does. If I had just seen the photo I would not even know who that was.
