Remember the digital caricature of Carles Puyol I did last August?
Each of us was given the choice to choose a soccer player from Spain, and draw up a caricature.
My Facebook caricaturist friend - Gerardo Oroz Gomez (the organiser) finally managed to have the poster done up.
Isn't it awesome to see different styles of the caricaturists being put together into a poster?
Great job, Gerardo!:)

digital caricature of Lemorris Harris

Lemorris is one of the best car caricaturist I have came across online.
I was blown away by his works when I first saw his works on Facebook.
He likes my works too. Thus, we agreed to exchange caricature. He will draw a caricature of my car and I will do a caricature of him.

I came up with a digital sketch of him.
Boy, this guy has great features to caricature!
digital caricature of lemorris harris - 1
Blocking in the values, and this reference photo has great lighting and colours to work with.
The light came from his back, and half of his face is under the shade.
No pure white on the highlight of his face. Challenging and fun!

Tightening the painting and added in the skin texture.

The tougher part of this caricature lies in his hat.
The little details of the hat is killing me.
It is testing my patience.
I tried to simplify the details, but not making it like a wishy-washy job done.
I really enjoyed this painting process (his face only....lol!!!).

Caricature theme - Aladdin and Jasmine

Client's brief:-
".....I'll just give you a rough
description of what I want. Basically like I mentioned in my first
email, it should be a caricature of aladdin and jasmine flying on a
carpet. But with the faces of my girlfriend and me instead.


I have attached two pictures. It would be great if it could be just
like ja001. But instead of a circle, I would prefer it to be a
rectangular picture like ja002. I would also like the colour of the
sky to be a darker blue like in ja002. If you feel ja002 would look
better in drawing than ja001, you can do that too. But I do not want
the birds in the picture.


I will send you another 2 emails with the photos of my girlfriend and
me. See which would give you the best view. Sorry about the excessive
demands. And thanks for your help."

Client's feedback:-
"Oh, very nice! Thanks a lot!"
