Potrait or Caricature??

I just started to learn how to draw caricature. I'm not sure what I have done is a potrait or caricature. But I don't really know how to create both of them yet.

I came across a site about how to crosshatch a sketch. From there, I give myself a first try on sketching the image used in the site. I don't really know whether it is a potrait or a caricature...
Here I wanted to thanks Tom for the superb tutorial. This is the link.

Subject: Hal Holbrook

My sketch

Hope to do much better in the future. I really hope to be able to draw caricature. I really have no idea why the caricature that I'm drawing doesn't resemble the subject...:( I have been browsing at lots of caricatures lately. Each of them really looks like their subjects.

The Story of Musca Domestica Crush

I proudly present to you The Story of Musca Domestica Crush........:P




Grandpa: *Coughing*. Can grandpa have one of those yummy, delicious Musca Domestica Crush?
Andrew: Not till you tell me The Story of Musca Domestica Crush...


Once upon a time, there was a planet named "Lovely" because of the lovely shape it have.


In this Lovely planet, all the fruits are extra big & they eat human. Humans are part of their food chain. "HELP!!!! Anyone please help me...." , a boy yelled desperately. He was totally surrounded by a group of flesh eating fruits.


Not far away, Musca Man is having a fun time going through the various collection of rubbish in the rubbish bin. His antenna sensed an alarm. Musca Man quickly transformed.


As Musca Man hurried to the crime scene, he tripped over a stone & fell on the ground pushing all the villain fruits into the hill. All the fruits were crushed & they became Musca Domestica Crush.


Andrew: WOW....Okie grandpa, you can have one of the Musca Domestica Crush.
Grandpa: Thanksssss.......(echoing)

Grandpa have transformed into a young, handsome man.

Animated Elephant

This is an animated elephant. My very first try of creating animated illustration.

Tutorial to Create an Animated Image
**********************************
1. First of all, get an image that you want it to be animated. I drew the elephant on a piece of paper before I captured the image using a camera. After that, the image was outlined and colored using Adobe Illustrator.

2. Create two different view of the elephant so that you can see it animated in the scene later on. Save them as two different images.

3. Using Adobe Photoshop, go to Window ->Animation. Now, a new animation frames can be seen at the bottom of the Window. Open both of the images in the window.

4. In the Animation Window, click at the small arrow on the right. Choose "Makes Frames from Layers". With this, an animation will be automatically created depending of the number of layers available.

5. Select the delay time for each of the frames created.

Valentine's Handmade Card

Here is a handmade Valentine's card that I did today. Before starting to get myself dirty with glue & stuffs, I prepared all the things that I need to do the card (lots of color papers, images, handmade craft) The images that I used in this card was drawn using pencil which later on was outlined using Pilot pen. After that, I used Copic markers to color them. Then, the process of cutting the images took place.

Below are a few snapshots of the card:

A girl, a boy & a cat

A monkey

A rabbit & chicks

Handmade craft

A puppy

In this card, I used the concept of a photo frame. 12 heart shapes were sticked on the border of the card. Here is the completed card...
