This guy was today's discovery. The things that usually pop into my mind when observing are real quick flashes. ie..tall, thin,fat,bald,short nose,long nose, hand position, feet position. ect..... once I have locked the key frames in my head I am good to go.

great exercise. It is funny how people give such distinct impressions. Great drawing. I gotta try doing this.

what amazed me is that you can remember that much detail, so you can draw it later. can i know how long does it usually take you to look at the character to be able to remember it?

thanks

Rini,

It does'nt take long to capture the person in my head, I would say 5 seconds gives me the best info. sometimes if I look to long it hurts my drawings. You also have to keep in mind that I am not trying to make an exact caricature of the people, but create characters of the people. It becomes a story, inspiration, gesture. bottom line is make it fun.
