I was looking for help with hands the other day and came across a website that had scans of books by Andrew Loomis. The one entitled "Drawing the Head and hands" is very imformative. It gives great help on drawing the forms of the faces of men, women, children and old people. The same for the hands. Its a great book to have a flick through and do some practice from if you have the time. I just thought I'd share it with everyone here. Not really for caricature. But I figurered it might help some people with faces. Heres the link: www.saveloomis.org/

actually, that kind of learning is great for caricatrists! if you study the greats, such as kruger and opdebeeck, you can tell that they knew how the face was structured in reality before they started pulling it all out of proportion. take a good look at either of those guys' works, and you can see that what really sets them apart is that they look 3-dimensional. that's because they're maintaining proper, albeit warped, bone and muscle structure underneath the skin. i don't know if i'm making it clear what i mean here, but finally realizing this was the greatest thing that ever happened to my own work. that was when i started trying to create not just an outside line, but also 3-d shapes within the figure. i know what i mean, but am i making any sense to anyone else?
