when you do a caricature in photoshop , do you work over a photo, or do you sketch first and then render in photoshop?
just curious

if you're looking for tips, then NEVER SKETCH OVER A PHOTO!!! EVER!

in the world of digital art, there are few more loathsome than those who just paint by numbers over a photo and call it art. I can only speak for myself, but i don't really qualify those who manipulate photos with liquefy and paint on top as true caricaturists.

So, to answer the question. No, i sketch out my portraits and caricatures first and render from the ground up off of the sketch. to be honest i used to be a slave to the color picker, but that is also a major crutch one should avoid.

I'm sure you're talking about Walken, but I'll just imagine you're talking about me.
