Demonstration video on 'How to draw a caricature'.

This is a demonstration of how to draw a caricature.  It is, however, a very relaxed and laid back version of what I do normally.  If I am working at events the process is much speedier.
For this demo caricature  I chose a celebrity as a subject.  This is my version of comedian and actor Robbie Coltraine.
Doing celebrity caricatures in this way allows the viewing public to recognise the subject gradually as the drawing progresses.  When you watch this video, please ignore the web address at the end.  It is no longer active.  I can always be contacted on this blog.

I have drawn caricatures of real life celebrities over the years.  These include, Sir Jimmy Savile, Martin O'Neil, Neil Lennon & John Leslie.

    I thought my ears were burning earlier. Great one Brian. Love the fact that you made it so personal with your music choice too.

    Thanks Laura. I must do some more videos. There are a few things I could teach via that medium.

    You definitely should do some more videos - of your caricaturing (if that's a word) and your watercolours - would be great to see how you go about it, thanks for sharing

    Dear Brian, as a fellow caricaturist, I am curious what media (paper and pen/pencil) you are using. Thanks and great stuff!

      Thanks Emily. I use normal sketch paper and a graphite stick - usually about 8B or 9B.
