This is the outline for a group caricature drawing which I colored in Corel Painter. The group is all the groomsmen, bride and groom and groom's father. They all grew up on or near the same street. This will be used as gifts for the men in the wedding party.
For some reason I can't upload the color version so for now this will do. Since this is the first large thing I've done in Painter I had some problems and didn't really have time to figure it all out digitally since I was on deadline. After getting the likenesses to my satisfaction I printed them out small and pasted them up the old fashioned way following my rough sketch. I then copied it and drew the bodies on the copy.
I think my main mistake was making the faces all different files instead of layers in the same one. Also had a problem combining the text layers so I ended up printing the lettering out and tracing it by hand onto the drawing paper. Then I had someone scan it since I don't have a big scanner yet. Then I finished it in Painter. The coloring part went pretty fast. I didn't have time to be real creative with the color but I'm still pretty happy with the result and the client was happy.
For now you can see the color version on my Shorty Robinson Facebook account.
