Playing with Head Shapes - Thumbnail Sketch Critique

[@ravn340]

i love the way you actually critiqued this without actively putting the artist down, that you pointed out mostly what they did good and THEN gave them some constructive critique based purely on the choices they made. Great video!

[@CourtJones]

Thank you. That's a really nice comment! Critiquing students work is something I take to heart and try to do my best.

This is pretty good. I want to draw stylised portraits wothout getting too caricatured, but learning the head shapes is good!

[@jesusrios9482]

This video is the best videos on this type of art I've ever seen..... I've seen other people do this but they actually just have you watch them draw they don't explain nothing.. This guy explains everything... Amazing videos amazing artists.... I have come up with some hilarious Stuff...

[@m.theodorr]

Best teacher and artist. Proko you are the best. Keep it going.

Idk why i was laughing at drake's smile the entire video

Lol me too lol

[@willg4802]

@@tunathehuman4076 being able to get a likeness--- you either have the ability or you don't. It can't be learnt. There is a skill called "super recognizer", and there is a test online to see how strong one is as a super recognizer. I did caricatures for 25 years. I scored a perfect score on the super recognizer test, my likenesses were also very strong . I worked alongside other artists and their drawing skills would improve over time, but their ability to get a likeness never changed. There are a lot of caricature artists who have weak likeness skills , this guy is one of them..

@@willg4802 sure

[@octopusji9483]

@@willg4802 i don't think that's True... I find problem in this caricature that he made his cheeks uplifted so do his smile... And i think that is not something that we can't learn, if we observe carefully we can get better likeness... And we can always improve our observation skills,

Great video!! That was super helpful to get to see the thought process behind the sketch!! Love this series!!

[@Kitslam]

I found this really insightful! Such a great video, thanks for sharing your critiques and experience.

[@veerapatil3677]

Hi Proko Which part of the face should I start drawing first

[@mariana-cp1yq]

[@ProkoTV]

+mari ana we don't have any books yet. My recommendations are at proko.com/books

How can I tell that's drake on the thumbnail

[@Csolorio1234]

I knew it was Drake on the thumbnail!

[@atenakehnaton3965]

thanks

[@roecalibre6359]

Thumbnail looks like a funny picture of drake.. Am i the only one that thinks that🤔

[@seanramsey]

That's because this is a critique on caricature drawings of Drake :p

[@roecalibre6359]

Well... Now I feel stupid for not watching the video

[@seanramsey]

Roland Coreus Haha, well you proved that Court did a good job on getting his likeness :)

[@roecalibre6359]

Yea, im an artist.. I love art so i had to subscribe.. Just like u 🙃i bet

[@robertefremov9380]

the photo looks like a caricature by itself already, if you think about it!

[@bigbirdyellowfilms815]

anyone have any idea what equipment/application he's using to draw this?? Id really appreciate if someone could help me out

[@nikyazikov6853]

BigBirdYellow Films probably photoshop on a large cintiq drawing monitor

[@hellgate7499]

What software do you use ? I really like the brush

[@ShadyKO]

Pretty sure its Photoshop and the brush may be custom made by him.

[@CourtJones]

This was indeed Photoshop. It was the Blackwing Animator pencil, which you can buy from Kyle Webster on Gumroad.

Hi , I love your videos, how can I send you a picture from my work?

[@jacobeparas1703]

Is this guy proko?

[@imaduck3280]

nope its a new guy just for all the caricature stuff

[@msrikavya9651]

What device is he using?

[@sammygeorgakopoulos8148]

Why make multiple thumbnails when artists can get it right the first time? Wouldn't a lot of hours be saved if the presentation of a concept were to be discussed with the client/art director?

[@raventrunite6459]

where could i submit thumbnail sketches for critique?

[@ProkoTV]

You can get critiques from the facebook community: facebook.com/groups/caricatureproko/

[@sillyfacecupcake8366]

* looks at thumbnail *.....Is that Drake!?

[@sillyfacecupcake8366]

I WAS RIGHT *DABS*

[@AlyssyaMichele]

Thumbnail looks just like Drake :)

[@TarradDevelopment]

nice

[@PeterBex_ArtDirector]

What Photoshop brush would you recommend to most look like your pencil sketches?

[@techywhiz9436]

He makes his own brushes

[@PeterBex_ArtDirector]

Would love to have a tutorial on that process too.

[@XMagiX21]

Okay that really looks like louis from suits

[@kevwe23]

Great advice. You never know until you try and spend 2-3mins per sketch
