12 Career Tips for Caricature Artists - Proko
video description
The desire and need to meet the expectation of audience, entertain customers, made it an necessity to figure out how to get thing right fast, cramming what I have to know from different websites, youtube videos, consulting mentors, gutting in mistake without feeling embarrassed or letting it affect my learning efficiency.
Drawing people within a short period of time forced me to be economical about my time, make sure I know what I'm doing with a brush, force the humour out, forget about trying to be perfect and draw those tiny redundant details that doesn't add to humour.
Now Comedy must be practiced well without having to insult audience, especially if I'm representing a small company. It never really get any easier, me trying to be better, and seeing new problems coming in.
The only thing that really bounded me if seeking perfection to draw woman, especially in Singapore, where the culture doesn't really open up to being drawn in a -ugly- way, that's my problem to solve as an apprentice.
I find this video really good, I hope you will continue loving what you do for a living.

At various Los Angeles theme parks I-ve seen artists use a larger black -rubber- pad. Since the papers are drawn on a large clip board, these black pads are used to add -bounce- to the pressure of the tools applied. I know someone-s going to recommend just adding more paper for the same purpose, but I-ve been searching for these 18-x24- pads. The closest thing I-ve seen are -signing pads- used at stores when you-re closing out a check by the register. I-ve asked employees at these stores and caricature artists what those pads were and how to get them, but all have said they didn-t know. Any leads?

I think pros should start clearing up this -career- thing with art. there are like a billion careers that build on art, not to mention there are like a billion tipe of art's to begin with. If we are talking about -Artist- as career, that ONLY lives from selling what he makes as art, is an entirely different topic, not to mention we still have to clear up in what art? Whell anyway, good tips, but i really wanted to say this.

This has made me really think. I-m a portrait artsiest and right back to when I started every single one I-ve done is perfect, and accurate. There-s not one I don-t like and yet I feel that-s pretty telling as it means I-ve actually not really moved on. Really enjoyed all this. Thankyou. Blessed be. X

I love that you said -There's no artistry in perfection-. I have always admired -Photo Realistic- drawings. but they look like a photo. not a drawing. I love that my drawings look like drawings. better yet. my drawings.

1: 14 lol, I see what you did there. You cut it at the nose bit because you don't want to offend him for that falcon schnoz! I've offended so many people drawing caricatures. It's kind of a thing no one talks about.

I never drew caricature and never planned to do, but your course was really helpful, even with 'realistic' protraits, because it helped a lot in analyzing pictures and finding strong features.
