I purchased another book years ago on drawing caricatures and failed miserably. I gave up and have not tried to draw this style again. until now. My art style has always been realism. drawing portraits. animals and still life. It is very hard for me to loosen up and drawing something that is not exact in the way its "supposed" to be. Ive recently become very interested in illustration and am trying to learn a totally different style. Of all the books I have purchased recently to help me on my new journey. I have to say this one has really been a fantastic tool! The teaching style is very interesting. The topic is pretty well covered with some definite good advice for the beginning caricature artists. This guy has taught the art of caricature drawing and you can certainly tell from this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great for its catagoryBy Shopper82This book is intended to train you how to do quick 3 minute caricatures. Its not intended to train you how to do some of the great caricatures that the top pros do by maybe doing a few thumb nail sketches and more analysis to make some of the best caricatures ever made. Some of the low rating on this book I think are caused by people who dont understand the various categories of caricature art. Im a scribbler sketchy type artist who wants to improve to a strong hand first try kind of caricaturist. All of the categories have their place. I can work things out with a light pencil and then ink over my work. but I lack the ability to do one of these dash off quickly types of caricatures. This book is great training for this approach. Trust the system. On page 22 is the basic system which is the core of the book. At first you repeat the system not worrying about a likeness. Its all about process and speed. Do a three minute marker drawing 10 times a day. This book is all about the 3 minute drawing. It works.Update: I have found some of Hamerniks videos on line going over the chapters of this book. Do a search of Hamernik videos. They are on Vimeo. They are helpful to look at. especially videos 3 through 5 where he does some demos using a marker. I find it better to see such videos as you can see very clearly the process he uses and the hand positions and tempo. You often miss stuff like that with digital vids as all you see is a cursor moving around. There is maybe a little more of a performance aspect to this kind of drawing as youre trying to do it all with direct strokes in one shot.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Drawing for LifeBy Bama FansGood informational book. Drawing is my favroite thing to do and teaching our triplets is fun but I always need more ideas to help the one that are very gifted in drawing. Ive never been very good with faces with the exception of cartoons. This has helped me express myself in a new way.
