- Proko: I would have known right away that it was George Clooney. The mouth gives it away. For me that seems to be the feature that makes or breaks a face. I'd like to ask how that you go about doing caricatures of people that society would call - ugly -. If this person asks you to do their caricature, how would you approach it? What is the best way to not offend the person, but have it look like them? Personally, I try and exaggerate other features that are less - ugly - in the face, or accentuate something about them that is - less ugly -, such as if they have nice eyes, I will accentuate that.
Despite this, some of my drawings come off as offensive. If a person has a big fat nose, with a wart on it the size of a penny, you can't just avoid it.
Do you choose an angle that shows it less? Such as a side view?
Thanks!

Love your style. They're methodical, structured, and no guessing game for mostly the part. You have a wider range of tackling different types of faces, even for an average face of treating a difficult scenario by drawing another one simultaneously. How did you come up with such a brilliant idea! I'm contemplating of buying one of your package lessons.

love these videos! interesting technique. Just a question Court; since we are drawing three dimensional forms, would it be worthwhile to take up a course in sculpting the head? just wondering if its helpful in training our eyes/brain to pick up the subtle nuances in -average- faces

I obviously look up to you a lot (that is why I am here of course) so this is not meant to be a disrespectful comment, but neither Ben Affleck nor George Clooney are recognizable at all. :)

What if you would re-do the George caricature but in comparison with another face? The result will be kind of interesting I think. maybe exaggerating some other details.
