Character Caricature

For class we had to do a Caricature of a celebrity or character from a show (had to be a "real" person acting as the character). For this assignment I picked Rumpelstiltskin from the television show Once Upon a Time.

Starting this caricature we had to liquify the photograph in Photoshop. This was then used as a base for our drawing. For me I liquified he right eye and the mouth. The other effects I improvised. 

For our digital drawing we had to use different brushes to show texture and different brush thicknesses to show depth.

Rumpelstiltskin is a greedy, flamboyant, power seeking character but he also hides the fact that he is a coward behind all the flare and fake confidence. For mine I used a more bristled brush for the hair and a hard line for the rest. I then changed brush thickness and size for areas that didn't need as much focus and to add depth.

Below is the finished line work for my caricature.
