Nice, I'm digging those thumbnails! They feel very three dimensional and almost have an animation vibe to them. The drawings are aesthetically pleasing, but I don't know if you nailed the likeness totally. The bottom middle right one is probably the closest in my opinion. That is the toughest aspect though and why we're taking this class! It could be that the drawings look younger than he is? When I look at the actor, I might accent his softer chin and the larger fat pads under his eyes (he always looks a bit sleepy/exhausted to me). His higher cheekbones with a more concave side plane of his face might also help push the likeness closer to the actor. But this is extremely difficult! Very fun drawings

Hey there! A tip I found for getting down likeness in realism is to take a look at the distribution between the thirds of the face. The loomis head guide divides the face into perfect thirds as a reference, but each person has a different proportion between the landmarks (forehead to brow ridge, brow ridge to nose, nose to chin). Noticing the person's deviation from the average perfect thirds can really help get the likeness into place. There's a video that goes more in-depth into the topic: https://www.proko.com/s/xU4i But focusing on caricature for now, I see you're trying out different face shapes, which is great. You could also focus on a different feature that you think stands out, e.g. a big nose, an angular chin, small eyes, etc. each time to see what you feel takes it into an interesting direction.

Hi @Vue Thao, nice work! I'm not an experienced caricaturist, but I took the course back in 2020, so I'll do my best to help. I tried doing a caricature of A1 to see if I would make any different choises. Recently I've been trying to draw with more gesture, thinking of it as a river flowing through the body. I try to follow the approach Glenn Vilppu demonstrates in this Drawing Demo by Glenn Vilppu, at timestamp 21:00 for example. Starting with the flow, then containing it with forms. When I did my version of A1, I focused on the gesture and thought of the mass of the head as a lump of clay, that I would push in the direction I would exaggerate the gesture. From time to time I would, switch to thinking more in shape, to get a fresh perspective, but at the heart of my design was gesture: The chin was being pushed down the chest The nose hanging down The non hairy part at the forehead, diving into the hair area His shoulders pushing up and to the right, and their mass spreading out widely His hair flying up, then diving quietly into the neck I kept going with the same approach on details The eye brow curving up The eye lid curving up The upper lip almost flying The lower lip hanging Wings of the nose large and high, nostrils almost opening up Hope this helps :)

I think it's been paused since its been replaced by the new proko website

Hi @smpalacio2013, great start! I like how you dared to experiement with extreme head shapes. Nice job! I'm not an experienced caricaturist, I took this course myself 2 years ago, but I'll do my best to help: - To me, it seems like the eyes of the person in the reference are small and close together in relationship to the brows and eye sockets . This is something you might want to try caricaturing. - In all of these you're making the head taller than the avarage head. It would be interesting to see you try the opposite, making it wider than the avarage. I think it could work for a caricature of this person. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Very nice studies. They are fast but they communicate an idea and an opinion on the subject. I like the shape design on 3, the exaggeration of hair in 5 and the angle of the head in 1. I think you can try doing more explorations. While you explore well the head shape, I feel that most of the size between features didn't vary much. While his hair is perhaps his more distinctive feature the corners of the jaw and the chin can carry a lot of his likeness, specially when his throwing his head back. It's important to explore and iterate a lot on this phase. Even if you do a lot of versions that don't look right, you'll be more certain of the final decisions you make. Keep drawing and best regards

Ok, to me, the sketch on the first page, Top Row, Center shows the most likeness to Robert Downey Jr. I think he has a more square’ish forehead, and that’s what your missing in the other sketches.
