Court critiques a student rough sketch of Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory and talks about capturing a likeness when drawing a caricature. More at In this critique of Simon Helberg, Court shows the difference between distorting features and exaggerating them based on specific anatomical observations characteristic to that person. It's a very important distinction to do caricature correctly. If you need a refresher on exaggeration or the rough sketch process you can find both links to those lessons below.

Hello my name is Carlos Trujillo I am from Ecuador and english is my second language. Let me tell you, , I cosider you are GREAT! Congratulations by all ur works and precious drawings. I am an architect and i like to draw too. I make water color, charcol and oil; principality. I consider my self as a good drawing i like to make portraits and i think i am good doing them, BUT since many yeras ago I had been trying to make caricatures but I couldnt. Untill i found ur precious lessons. I want to ask some things: are there faces which are really really difficult to make a good caricatures? and second question is: if i am 54 years old, dou think I am going to be good enought. I woudl liked to show u some of my drawings too.
Thanks by u reading this and congratulations AGAIN.
Carlos

hello, very good. i have a question, this caricature is for a person who has a very distinc features, like hair and nose, i think this have a impact on drawing caricature, i think is more easy, and what about drawing a cariture from a person has a face all proportions right. u know, like your face, i think is more dificult.
reply

one thing the submission of the Big Bang Theory guy had right was that it made him look younger rather than older, which is more in keeping with the character. this professional whos never seen the show has made him look older which really hurts the association between his caricature and the actual character.

Good points. I do come across artists whose caricatures look like they took a liquify tool from photoshop stretched or pinched things around and then drew that. It always kinda bothered me, even though they were skillfully rendered, they were missing the charm that traditionally 'solving the face' gives.
reply

I have a question though, the guy clearly does not have a long slim face, it is rather short and wide, so why would you draw his face as long and slim? That's like the opposite. That doesn't make any sense to me if the purpose of the caricature is to exaggerate the features.
reply

i don't know about these eyes. something about them (maybe the eyebrows) makes his facial expression look dead inside and smiling thru pain. the genuine amusement of the loopsided smirk is lost, even though the facial structure is better.

I didn't imagine it would be this interesting to watch a critique video. But it kinda makes sense even not being the one who has drawn that caricature. I think the student drawing looks cute though.

For the next 'Drawing from Imagination' video, Stan should use one of those white text on blue field Windows Movie Maker captions with Dreamscape playing in the background.

My favorite is Jack Black from Tenacious D, day dreaming about wearing the pick of destiny around his neck, mic bursting into flames. I added vampire teeth on him.

This one is nice, but the Messi one, I really don't know what happened, the submited one really nailed the looks of the soccer player.
