24 Caricaturing FIG 4 / jCss* ) PLATE 3
The Face and Head 25 caricaturing, only this will be dealt with here. The features are drawn lifelike in caricatures, except in ones where extreme exaggeration iff used. To make a drawing appear lifelike is ratter difficult fof beginners, because there are a great many little tricks for doing this, which they do not understand. Some of these methods are illustrated in the caricatures of Von Hindenburg on Mate 7. Figure 1 was drawn from a photograph with little exaggeration, while Kg, 2 is exaggerated a great deal. Note in Fig. 2 the outlines for the black shadows under eyebrows, corners of eyes, wrinkles, under nose, under mustache, and under difrt on the white collar. These outlined shadows have been blacked in on the large drawing giving it life and sparkle. Attention is called to the highlights on the eyes, also. This is vary useful, and is invariably used to make the eyes lifelike. The Mack bow tie and other shading give the drawing tone, or color, which heightens the effect. Do not forget shadows under ears in profiles, and faces other than direcdy front views. Caricatures are either drawn from life, or from photographs or portraits. For the student who has not studied drawing from life it will, perhaps, be easier to get a good likeness by drawing from photographs. In good photographs the wrinkles, shadowy and conspicuous features are more easily seen which helps one to know what to exaggerate to get a good likeness of the subject being caricatured. Highlights on eyes and hair are more easily seen and placed correctly on the drawing. Another advantage of drawing from photographs is that the head is more easily proportioned correctly. This is because the various features can be measured on the photograph and enlarged proportionately in the drawing. For example, if one is going to make the drawing five times as high as the head in the photograph, he can determine the correct proportions because he can measure the width of the head on the photo and get the width of the head in die drawing accordingly. The nose, mouth and other features may likewise be measured and placed correctly. However, one disadvantage of drawing from photographs is thai you can only get one viewto work from, unless you have photographs in different positions of the same subject. With two positions it jp done is sometimes possible to construct a third view. How this is illustrated on Plate 3 with the
