I have been using Sharpie's fine and ultra fine point markers, but I see that Marc De Roo, who I admire, uses black felt-tip pens. In your own experience, which is best to achieve varied weigh in lines, as for tappering'em cooler? Marc de Roo site is: www.marcderoo.com/RC |

That is the first I've heard of him. I like his work.

Yeah, he is cool, his work is similar to that of Andreas Otto, who is another excellent caricaturist. By the way, Otto is just so fast it's almost impossible to follow his sequencing, because he seems to start each drawing differently, sometimes by the nose, others by the eyebrows, others by the mouth, he's a natural.

Well, today after watching Otto's video samples once again, I have decided to combine a bit of what i've learn from them to my own style, so I'll try to be as fast as I can with the lines. Also I decided to go back to basics, that's right, I mean, after 23 years of experience, and the last 9 working as a caricaturist for events and theme parks, I reached the conclussion that the BEST tutorial/system I've ever seen in my life as for caricature drawing is this one: www.animatedbuzz.com/tutorials/caricature.html It seems to be a tutorial for beginners, but it happens that every time I read a new book, or online tutorial, or I watch a new video on the subject, I always end sticking back to Gary Fasen's foundation procedure showed there by Mario Furmanczyk. Man I mean, best results are achieved like that, well, that's just my experience and humbble oppinion. Now I'm planning to leave fear aside, and start to go all out as fast as I can, just as Otto wisely says (among other things, but next are my favourites): "Chaos For a person with clarity in his head, chaos is inspiration and orderliness a pure waste of time." "Endurance The secret to drawing 200 people a day without becoming tired is to have fun with them." "Interpretation Caricature is not what the drawer interprets into it, but what jumps out at him - provided he can catch." "However, the greatest secret in art comes from André Gide: Co-operation Art is a co-operation between God and man. The less man does, the better." Latter on I'll publish the results of this experiment  RC |
