Zany Distortions!

There needs to be balance of exaggeration and reality with caricature art, and the goal is to push the art as far as possible, yet still have it tell the truth. Some of my subjects are easier to exaggerate than others. Kids are more of a challenge for me since they haven't grown into their "features", so I usually put more effort into making them part of a scene (sports, video games, moon patrolling, etc.). A few of the pictures you see here are what I think are some great kids to draw. I didn't get a picture of it, but I drew a girl as a potato chip with a corn cob piercing it from the back. Totally zany, and completely her suggestion - the potato chip and corn that is!
