Percy; every Caricaturist's worst nightmare

[1monicaaaa]

i hate that song but that was funny lol

[arew234]

well, that's some kind of staged situation and "Percy" is part of the act. I guess

she's doing it to show how things really are out there by making this little stage

production. "Percy" being a montage of tons of jerks out there, etc. The guy playing "Percy" did a prettty good job and now you know to think twice before thinking that this business is an easy gig.

heeeeeeyy!, /user/1966brian#p/u/26/QF3M--z­10X4 i saw you, you are at 4:13.

[tbnice1966]

that would make me draw them even uglier haha

[matthewenrique]

Gee! I experienced that too! but in a mild way! they just want to take the money back but they accept their caricature for free! Funny huh!

[cottoncandygirlz1]

Well he's... Nice...?

[ToonsTent]

Yeah, there's one in every crowd. I can usually tell by their vibes that they're going to be trouble (it's usually when they start off by asking for a discount) at which point I try to talk them out of getting it done ... if that doesn't work, I'll tell them I really need to go to the washroom, tell them I'll be right back then watch from afar until they go away :D

[09monos]

Something like has happened to me too.. The worst thing is: they Ask for acaricature! "No, not those ears! not that nose! hey, not those teeth!!..." and finally we have to hear: Man, that guy doesn't looks like me!!

[nineshikamaru]

i dont understand why people dont understand caricature. its not easy! its unique, and good caricature amaze me all the time

[MichaelWBartley]

Lol wat song

[vhpayes]

HA HA, we get those every day, but they aren't always rednecks. First mistake was lowering the price to $5. When I see one of these coming, I do my best to emphasize how expensive and funny I'm going to draw them. They've been warned.

"I am a portrait artist who is trying to make the switch to caracitures. Any advice?" The biggest problem most have with making the switch is going from light and Shadow, to putting emphasis on line, although there are some wonderful painterly caricaturists, like Sebastian Kruger. I would say, study some ot the greats, Like Al Hirschfeld, Mort Druker and Kruger. Learn to love exxagerating, and learn to love simplifying. The idea with caricature is to make it FUN! Good Luck!

[tgreaper]

Nice work! I am a portrait artist who is trying to make the switch to caracitures. Any advice?

[MikeTFP]

stop drawing caricatures and make some real art.

[JordanJames101]

Go ahead and try it yourself, it's not easy to do caricatures, you'll find that harder than it looks!

[SourHabit]

Art shouldnt be limited to a concept of "real art"

[TheCartoonLoon]

please! tell me. what is real art. no really what is it? as i dont have a clue. so as your such an expert on real art. care to show me what you can do? hmm thought not

[nineshikamaru]

what's your problem? how good is you anyway? i bet you suck

[nextdoornorth]

Ya, I hate it when this happens.

Thank goodness the other half of my customers seem to like what they get.

When are these guys going to learn it's not our job to 'fix' people?

Who do they think we are, some kind of Leonardo DiCaprio ?

[aphilby]

what

[suhrbiergirl]

Mrs Percy Shamcow here. I cant beleve that some one don really video taped my husband! Theres nuttin wrong with bean a redneck. wear proud people. I dunt get what she is dewing either, I dint she her catching carrots. She dun drew a pickcher that dunt looked like my Percy. He done the rite thin by rippen it up - that dun showed her!

[karikaturist]

The Coen bros have a major producing & directing (& need i mention cinematographer?) talent coming up fast on their heels!

Way to go Sammy---could've used some supplemental lighting (a bit dark here & there) but a fun peek into the harried life of a retail caricaturist.

An Oscar-worthy performance by Kathlynne & Steve as well, who of course was "Percy"...

[kmoonfire]

Speaking as someone who was actually there, may I compliment your stunning ability to continually capture moments to remember!

[JeffGutman]

Very nice you guys. Very real little slice of life, not a life I would choose mind you! The guy playing Percy was great. Kathlynne was real class throughout. Love the scene where he comes back and yells at her. "Carry Catcher!" Ahh Percy, remember that they hate us for our freedoms!

[JeffGutman]

Your videos are getting so much better!

[kamaldollah]

Love it. You're both getting better. At making movies and pleasing customers. Hope to see you in Raleigh.
