Drawing Celebrity Caricature Art by Caricaturist Steve Nyman
What you need first is good reference of the celebrity you choose to draw. You can find great reference at Google images. Pick a celebrity most people will know, Like Jack Nicholson or Will Smith. Drawing a female celebrity I find, is much more difficult for a beginer due to the fact that a great number of female celebrities change their hair styles so often. The current hair style of a female celebrity can be so different than past styles. Also look at other Caricature artists samples of the celebrity you are drawing. This way you can see how they approach drawing the actor you are also trying to sketch. You can also find these caricatures online by searching Google images, such as "Jack Nicholson Caricature". Notice the similarity of the different artist approaches. Another way is to go to YOUTUBE, see the actor live and notice their smile or expression. Also you can freeze frames on a DVD to pick up the expression you would like to capture in your caricature illustration.
Practice, Practice, Practice!
