Pencil Drawings of People Rod Stewart Easy to Caricature
Pencil drawings of people Rod Stewart, an ideal celebrity subject, for several reasons.
Born and raised in London, England, he grew up to be a singer-songwriter and musician playing guitar, banjo and harmonica.
Voted number 33 in Q Magazines Top 100 Singers of all time, he has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
As the subject of a caricature, Rod Stewart presents many features to exaggerate.
He is wiry, a compact soccer player, who appears as comfortable in bespoke suits and shirts as he in jeans, and concert stage costumes.
See the edgy rock star hair in the caricature. By exaggerating the contours of the face including a strong nose, the eyes get more play.
Photographers capture the happiness as well as the concentration in his eyes. I decided to play to his gaze. It is as if he is looking directly at the viewer, and has a delicious secret he will keep to himself.
Now it is your turn. Try tracing Rod Stewart a few times to get your hand and arm to feel the shapes that make up the facial structure.
After you are comfortable, then try drawing it without tracing.
Then try turning a sketch of someone else into a caricature. Exaggerate certain features while maintaining a likeness of the subject.
If you are considering an editorial caricature, the image will include an ironic or satiric point of view.
