wow, its amazing. can you also please make a tutorial on the different type of brushes and settings you use? It will be a big help for a beginner like me.

[Sycra]

I would but it's just all default stuff. A default chalky brush at 100% Opacity and Flow with no size changes and just set Opacity to pen pressure. It would be a real short tutorial!!

[Pracaloid]

A caricature is not precisely faithful to the base image. A caricature take those facial features and make them exagerated...

Saying that cause of those comments that say, Sycra did his nose bigger and chin smaller than it actually is.

[MomGotDetention]

you're good at drawing, but not a caricatures. you're supposed to really accentuate the features. if he has a big nose, it should be REALLY big. and if he has a tiny nose, it should be REALLY tiny

[istealspoons]

@MomGotDetention I disagree. There are different styles of caricature. Some people prefer to exaggerate things quite a lot, and others just a bit. Not everyone loves that big, super-exaggerated look.

I think it takes a lot more talent to capture a likeness (and quickly!) without going over the top.

@Sycra can you do Lucille ball and Desi Arnaz,you are very good..
