Before you start to exaggerate a face, you have to first identify its features.

In this lesson, you’ll discover some good questions to ask yourself that will help you to do just that, along with learning the general ‘idealized’ measurements of a standard face. Knowing this will help you be aware of the differences in shape and features which make a face unique.

Loopydave will then walk you through a cool demonstration and help you create a list of noteworthy features. You’ll find out more about the guidelines he uses, ways to exaggerate them, how to create a list of facial features, and Harrison Ford’s nose!

The base of a good caricature is the head shape, which dictates weight distribution and how the features are placed. But how does one go about building it? You’ll find out how in this lesson!

Loopydave discusses the shapes he uses for all the faces he draws. He also provides you with useful questions to help guide you and shows you exactly how he uses them to design a face.

You’ll learn two fun ways to figure out the weight of a face: the two-way and three-way split, and see LOTS of amusing examples of each. You’ll also discover other interesting tidbits like why Hugh Jackman is a triple threat.

Have fun with sticking points on some faces today! … Sounds painful!

Breaking down a face into shapes makes it easier to construct and play around with. This lesson gets more practical, dealing with different approaches to doing just that, including using single or separate shapes, beats, tangents and … dramatic music while painting retro monsters!

Follow along with Loopydave as he demonstrates all these methods by creating lots of fun caricatures. You’ll also discover handy tips to make the process easier, such as drawing the center and eye line.

You’ll get a peek into the mind of a caricature artist, learning not just his process, but understanding WHY he makes certain design choices and what to consider when drawing facial features.

He carefully explains what to look for, the shapes that make up each feature, how to exaggerate them effectively and how they change with age. You’ll discover the differences in eyes, noses and mouths between people. With this essential knowledge, you can now replicate these steps in your own portrait drawing.
