New Caricatures

Here are some fresh caricatures I've been working on for this week. Some are friends and others are celebrities. Enjoy!

Caricatures!

I've been taking caricature classes in Korea and its been a blast. I've learned a lot about conviction through the line that you draw-how each mark represents a language that forms a story of a face.

Here are some examples!

Lee Myung Bak

This was another series where I had gotten my kids to draw Lee Myung Bak, otherwise known as the president of South Korea.

This all started with my own caricature of him:
They were thrilled to see the resemblance and so I asked them to draw their own version. I did this with several classes ranging from 8-11 years of age. The younger ones didn't know who he was, and so it began to take over this completely entirely different persona. Lee Myung Bak became anything-the Everyman-and there's something about the perceptiveness of young generations and their own take of Korean culture that I had realized instead of me imposing on them.
I think parents later were worried that I was propagandizing Lee Myung Bak. So this series had to be discontinued. Enjoy nonetheless!

Student Caricatures of Wil Teacher

These are a series of drawings my students had done of me. Sometimes during class at the end, I usually have a theme of drawings and this one was just to draw me (ya i'm an egomaniacc) I really love these drawings and great memories. Also one of the reasons they didn't renew my contract...
