Hello friends,
Today I wanted to do my first 2x First's. You probably wonder what the hell does it mean and if it is English language at all. Yes, it is and it is also correct. This is my:
- First post in "Discovery-it" community, that I was visiting on and off enjoying the beauty of Artworks and today decided to post my first post here.
- First time that I did a caricature
Actually I always loved the skills of the artists of caricature because with their portraits they captured the main features of persons and it was easy to recognize the persons even if there was no real anatomical proportion but even though it was a portrait.
What do you do if you want to do something new? I usually search in Internet and find some tips and advises how to start doing something. Nowadays, we can learn anything while sitting at home and nobody can say that he has no resources to learn. If people have Internet they can learn anything they want.
So while reading the articles, I learnt that when you do a caricature, you should not think much about the correct lines, erase them and use a ruler to calculate the distance between eyes and nose and so on. Simply your glance and approximate the main features of face. Many cartoonists using markers, I do not have any markers at home and decided to try but not with pencil, I know that then I will definitely use eraser to make the work fine, but I decided to use a ball-pen and my notebook.
Rishi Sunak
So decision is made now I needed a person. While thinking who should I try, I was watching BBC news this morning and if anyone of you familiar with British politic you might be aware that currently we have a situation where two Politicians Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss who are candidates for the post of Premier Minister as Boris Johson is stepping down.
Therefore, we have everyday some news about that and I thought why not to try Rishi Sunak, previously Chief Secretary to the Treasury. I decided to do him and this is my first caricature at all, therefore, please do not be so strict with me.
I have tried it couple of times and you can see that I decided to finished the latest version as it looks more alike him.
Process of work
On left is my first attempt but I did not like it and started a new on other side.
It is a bit asymmetric but I just continued.
This is the final version and I think it is acceptable for the first time.
For those who do not know our Politician I am attaching link to the article:
Hope you like my drawing and till next time.
