Hello there team. I know I'm a bit late for the self portrait challenge, but I'd love to participate with my take nonetheless. I decided to go for this "you better get some help" vibe to it, and attached are the ref photos use. I'd love to hear your opinions, thanks.

hi Court. there are the caricatures i worked on while following you. what is your feedback on them?
Court Jones
Hi Tariq. Really nice! I like the style on Dwight and Stallone in particular. Almost looks like a finished illustration style. It seems like you had trouble with Tom Holland's likeness, just as I did in the stream! Also the caricature of Cynthia Erivo doesn't seem to have a strong likeness. One the caricatures you have trouble with the likeness, I would say to focus less on the exaggeration for now and just draw closer to portrait. And once you have a successful likeness, then try to caricature that successful sketch.

I'd also love to get your opinion on this caricature i've done of Stallone.

Hey Court, I got a question. why is it sometimes notice other features to exaggerate in characters that others don't? for example i'd focus on the size of the forehead while others focus on the ear for example.

Hey Proko team. this is the sketch i worked on, took me around 90 minutes. thoughts and critique?
Lucas Kremer
Pen can be a challenging and unforgiving medium, so well done jumping in with this approach. Overall your proportions and placement of the features is pretty accurate. One thing that I did notice is that the ear feels like it's a little loo light, and could benefit from being pushed into the same value range as the surrounding area. This sometimes happens when we get focused on an area of higher detail, this can cause tunnel vision where we lose the value relationship to the whole image somewhat. Overall though good effort.
