I don-t know why, and I hope to be constructive rather than inflammatory, but I feel there-s something off about your noses. Whenever I look at one of your caricatures, it never feels like I-m seeing a caricature of that person-s nose, but a caricature of noses as a concept. The bulb of the nose is always pulled down below the nostrils even for people who-s noses lay more flat, and for me it really hurts the likeness.
Will Farrell-s nose in this shot is more exaggerated at the (very rounded) nostrils than at the bulb, but that-s not what-s drawn, which leads to the caricature-s face more closely resembling Tommy Lee Jones during the lineart stage.
For me, the nose is the most important part of the face. It tends to be the one attribute that most helps distinguish between five similar-looking people. It feels like, in the attempt to exaggerate, the nose is the one area where you wind up distorting. Granted, this is a criticism that can-t really go anywhere beyond pointing it out, but I do feel it-s something important to mention.

Most of th time J. C. Leyendecker used a green gray color [ Green Earth color? ] as his base for his portraits. And than builts it all up with fast brush strokes with sometimes leaving the gray green undercoat to show where and whenever it is needed.
And one of the most typical caracteristics of a Leyendecker way are the dots and stripes he used in the shadow parts of his fases and clothes. And ever there we can see color gradients, done in a very sofisticated clever way, indeed.
Your way of 'filling in' the face is far too smooth. Leyendeckers faces looked smooth from a distance but when one looks closer they're almost abstract and rough in a Frans Hals kind of way, the Old Dutch Master ( Antwerpen, 1582 / 1583 - Haarlem, 26 augustus 1666).
Nevertheless the end result of your painting is also very nice! And the video was very educational indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Hi. I think it would help if you could show your Photoshop pallets so that we could follow your tool use and specifically your layer techniques. I find this helps other artists understand better what you are doing with the software and how you achieve your desired outcome in the art. I realize there are many different ways to achieve the same effect in Photoshop, but every artist works differently and sometimes it is nice to combine different techniques from different artists in the same project.

Hey court i was wondering about this technique i got confused a little about the opacity flow and edges and i am not sure about whether you blend in digital painting or you just simply apply pressure sensitivity and just let the brush work weather painting or erasing colour and you did not seem to use blending modes or layers it looks like you worked it all on 1 layer am i wrong or is it entirely painterly

what were the order of the layers throughout the video (and did you only use two layers. I notice you put the initial color layer under the line work at first but after that I'm not sure since you were able to paint over the line work at some point.

That's not a half grey, its lighter than that. I only point this out because I had been using 50% grey for a while but now I'm realizing that might be too dark for many pieces.

Teacher Court, I saw you use a software app to draw and color this caricature. Would you please let me know what software it is? Thanks.
