Caricature Workshop for Spire Research and Consullting

A 3-hour workshop (2pm - 5pm) for Spire staff enrichment course. A much longer duration than previous 2 workshops of 1 hour each for AIA and The British Club, which I can teach them more on the basic and illustrate more caricature examples. Caricature Workshop for Spire Research & Consulting - 1

Before the form and shapes were finalized, I went  around to guide them, to ensure that they were on the right track.

I was quite surprised that they can understand what I taught and draw pretty well when almost all of them (except one) have no experience in drawing.

This was not seen in previous 2 workshops. I taught them how minor tweaks in the smiles can gives different expression. This is about basic cartooning, which can be translate into caricature. In fact, cartoon is derived from simplification of what we see. Thus, cartoon and caricature are co-related. Caricature is more sophisticated, as you need to inject likeness into it, on top of the exaggeration. From one look, without looking at the reference photos or captions/names (if there are) next to it, you can tell who that subject is.

I used a 9B lead, instead of a black marker (as in previous 2), for this workshop. Pretty cool, as I can teach them about shading too.:)))

We have time for another caricature subject - Michael Jackson. A more angular face, vs a round face of Lydia Shum just now.
