Thanks, everybody, appreciate it. Yeah, the more I tried for exaggeration, the less of a likeness I got, figured the less stretching the better in this case.

Well Dave I think you're onto something but I have a few comments
-I think you made his upper lip too big and his lower lip too wide
-Something seems unfinished about the eye on our right
I think the drawing is super quality otherwise though!
-Slim
;D

Great job Dave. The one eye seemed unfinished to me as well.

Dave, congratulations. Excellent work. As I am " clos " I have given myself a new opportunity and thanks to your model I have been able to carry out a better version. I wait your opinion.  |

Thanks Everybody, I'm glad for the comments! I see what you mean now about the eye and mouth, Slim, I was getting lazy, but feel like fooling around a bit now that I've been away a while.
Vidal, I like this one best, still has that design quality to it, but makes for a more realistic drawing- keep these up! Glad mine could help!!

Thank you friends for their words. The previous works were drawings if it didn't achieve a likeness with the pattern. This demonstrates us that the cartoon demands investigation, study to achieve its resemblance the nearest thing possible and also that we should not conform to with the first I draw bad or the exaggerated deformation that we make. There the challenge begins...
Also in this portal of friends, we are to make a mistake and to learn how to correct our errors and to criticize us professionally. A good critic can never become a contempt or jeer.
Not in this true school of the cartoon.

Thanks Dave, I use a Penciltech 2000 and a Papertool XZ6. Actually, I use pencils and paper for the value study. I like it to "feel" sculpted and to have some texture and I can make the pencil do what I want (I use threats) Then scan to the computer and lay on semi-transparent layers of color. I use the erase tool set at 40% opacity to erase from the orange layer to bring out the darkest darks. I still do it pretty much like my color tutorial but I spend more time getting the pencil drawing right and less time on the computer. Here's the pencil sketch... -Slim ;D  |
