Jackie Chan Caricature
After I completed this, then I thought I could have picked a more comical pose of Jackie Chan in the first place. Or could have referenced other more 'playful' images of Jackie Chan. Anyway, the caricature started when the some news about Jackie Chan was featured in my Yahoo homepage yesterday. And so I drew him straight from there without much thinking. haha...

Another Caricature of Myself
This caricature of myself was done in a lecture room in between talks (I stress in between talks). I listen you know. I had a picture of myself in my mobile phone and decided to look at it again. It was a picture of me holding a cup in my mouth and and looking cross-eyed. Then I said to myself, its time for fun again... and I drew myself and laughed at myself. That's cool. =) What a way to pass time in between breaks.Lunch Time Cariature in Golden Miles Complex =)
I had to bring my students to Kallang for their 2-Star Kayaking Course today and had lunch in Golden Miles Complex. For those not familiar with Singapore, Golden Miles Complex is where many Thais gather with lots of Thai shops and restaurants. Many people also board buses to Johor in Golden Mile. So back to my story. I ordered a yummy TomYam Seafood Noodle Soup and an Ice-Tea. After my meal I sat for a while longer to read my book. Just before deciding to leave I noticed just beside where I was was a lady in a little corner shop selling Thai stuffs. And I decided to caricature her. I wanted to give it to her after I finished but was a little apprehensive. I was afraid that her husband (if she is married) or her boyfriend (if she has one) will run after me if I approach her to give her my drawings!!! Hahahahahaha... Hillarious. So I decided to keep it to myself.
After drawing the lady I saw a security guard walking pretty aimlessly wth a very caricaturable face... haaaaaaaa got to draw him. =) Before I could finish him he went missing. Who knows where he went to.
After lunch it is a long and hot way back to Kallang Sea Sports Centre. 15 minutes walking time. I dreaded it because I was all wet (sweat) walking to Golden Miles. And all wet (sweat) back to the centre. But I was glad I had two drawings done to share them with you. Wish I had taken a secret photo of them....

Then it became two, then three, then four... then the whole class of boys from the class.

Caricature Just Pencils: Villegas, Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Jim Carrey, David Letterman
Villegas (2008)
Will Smith (2008)
Morgan Freeman (2008)
Jim Carrey (2008)
David Letterman (2008)Caricatures in pencil is very must less stressful as compared with doing it directly with ink or markers.
To find subjects to draw I thought it would be better to draw someone whom many people are familiar with. At least I (the artist) should be familiar! It is important for a start to find someone easily recognisable because a caricature drawn on a person must satisfy at least two criterion. Firstly, it must resemble that person (i.e. likeness which makes people go, 'Ah... I know him!!!'). Secondly, though resembling that person, both the facial and body expression must be exagerated (i.e. which makes people go, '... that's funny!!!)
Actually there is a third criteria. I placed it separate because this has nothing to do with the caricature artist. It has everything to do with the audience and the recipients of the caricature art work. The recipients and the audience MUST understand the difference between a caricature and a portrait.
How do we know if someone does not understand the difference between a caricature and a portrait? Simple. When you hear, 'Hey! I know my nose is pretty big, but why is it so oversized in the drawing?" or "Why he drew my eyes so tiny?" or "How come it doesn't look like me exactly?" etc... etc... etc.. so on and so forth... and this one "I want my money back for drawing me FUNNY!!!"
Back to the topic. I took images from the magazine (Villegas was from a golf magazine) and from the internet (the rest up there). And then what do I do. Erm... of ya... draw. =)
I have to admit, some looked more a portrait than a caricature... =p
