Super Caricature Bros. 3

It's been quite some time since I updated this blog on the regular. I'm still here! The artwork mill is still churning and the Thrilling Tales of Adventure are still being thrilled. I've been posting most of it on my Facebook fan page over the past year (incidentally, you can subscribe to that here), but this blog is a resource that I'd like to use a little more frequently too.

Here's a trio of brothers who I drew some gift caricatures for recently:





Drawing caricatures of people who are related is an interesting process to me. I doubt I'd have assumed these three were brothers if I'd just seen them walking together one random day.

I was trying to be very conscious of my use of light in these three caricatures, in part solely as a way of trying something new, but in part to see how a light source can suggest something about a subject's personality. What do you think--does it?
