Apr. 4th, 2007 12:15 pm Doing Harry Potter Caricatures

Boy it really is tough doing them,
I keep finding myself always adjusting images I previously did trying to get it to look right. Even though I believe I got the image kinda right.

Examples below:


Argus Filch


I searched the web for some decent images of him, so I finally find these 2 (from wikipedia) which I use as a reference source:





The first caricature I created of Argus Filch I thought was pretty decent.


But it just did not capture the character of the caretaker. Cranky, wide eyed, unkempt, stringy hair.
So I ended up reworking him again. Here is the final result (I hope *grin).




Neville Longbottom


This was also not so easy, because when they were kids, and now adults, their faces change quite a bit.
I tried to capture him as best as I could, my first take was off, his eye liners were too dark, his eyes too high.

Anyways here is the reference source image that I used:


Here is the first caricature I created, ... it was almost done, had the basics, except the placement was off by a pixel or two. Followed by the fixed image.





Madame Hooch


Ahhh, the broomstick instructor *grin

This is currently a work in progress.
Here is the source image:


The is my work in progress image. Still working on the hair, then the clothes.


She is looking quite cute I find :)
