Alrightey, ive never done this before but im gonna critique your caricature work. So, firstly id reccomend grabbing the mad art of caricature by tom richmond, heres a PDF

So, with caricature there is a fine line between funny/exaggerated and uncanny valley, yours are good i'd say, but you want people to know its actually a caricature. So a good thing to do is get that head and draw very simple shapes to find a base for exaggeration that really feels like the subject. Then add in the features to get ultimately the likeness. I left a few examples of like pushing a feature. Like this guy seems to have a huge jaw and a huge forehead. So its good to pick one and push it far, but maintain the distance in a smaller state, its weird..

keep up the great work, my constantly postin brethren lol

@Fedodika: Wow, thanks for your critique the link for the book and the overpaint! I didn´t know the book yet! Caricature has always intrigued me, but I´ve never done one before, so any advise is helpful and welcome. I had a feeling, I did exaggerate too little...


Last demon illustration for the second batch of demons. This one´s a traveller of dimensions, capable of opening gates to other worlds, even if you don´t want to after summoning him....

Been to Scotland for the past weeks and visited loooooots of castles and beautiful landscapes. Due to the full schedule, I just did some quick sketching on locations in pencil and watercolours. For some I only had 20 minutes, so they are really just quick and dirty sketches

Back from my Scotland trip to do work and imaginary sketching again, starting off with two fictional novel coversketches, inspired by this lovely country

i find the composition to be abit to forced i don't know if that a good thing or a bad thing.
The tree as something odd about it really small compare to the figure.

@darktiste: Might be a bit small, but it should only be a symbol of the tree where Arachne tried to hang herself. In the end the only thing that matters is, that the client likes it
