My new cartooning setup part 2 - Caricaturing....

As you may well have noticed, there's been a distinct lack of cartoons recently - this is because I've been concentrating on caricaturing, something that I've been interested in, but not fully committed too - until now.  The thing is, I'm out of humour lately.  I can't come up with a funny line for toffee, and it's gotten so frustrating that I decided to concentrate on my caricature work.  The upshot of all this is that my caricaturing skills have improved, and it's no small conincidence that's it's down to my new setup.

When I caricature, I do it in pencil, as I'm comfortable with it, and it gives me the results I like.


Once that's complete, I put the drawing onto my iPad to colour.  For caricatures, I use Procreate, rather than Pen & Ink as it gives me better results...


And this is the end result.  So far, I've done 3 using this method, and I'm happy with all of them so far...




If anyone reading this wants their own caricature, you can reach me at the Caricatoons website...
