I just watched the demonstration videos on Andreas Otto's site - Ottography
I think it's absolutely amazing how he can draw this kind of caricature straight onto the paper with a pen, no preliminary sketches, no room for error, it's something I would love to be able to do, but I know I'm a long way off. The huge caricatures he does are especially amazing to me, I always find it difficult to draw anything even bigger than standard A4 size. Kudos to all of you who do this kind of work, you rock!
Watching the video, I was fascinated by the way his hand is constantly moving, like he's sketching without actually making contact, then with a flick of the wrist, there's the nose, another few flicks and the eyes are done . . . it really blows my mind how he can achieve a likeness every time.
That's all, just wanted to give him a big pat on the back. Well done.
