Step by step digital caricature of Jim Belushi

I've had some requests to see my drawing process with digital drawings. So here is a step by step caricature cartoon of Jim belushi drawn on a Wacom Cintiq21ux art tablet using sketchbook pro.

First up the preliminary sketch.

I now open another layer on top of the initial sketch and start the digital inking process.

I remove the layer holding the initial sketch and add more depth to the lines.

Now I add another layer underneath the drawing and start to add colour.

Using a series of layers I add shading and highlights to the face and hair.

adding yet another layer underneath the drawing I draw a simple neck and shirt.

I combine all layers created so far and add another layer to create a background..

I add another layer between the drawing and the background and draw a white line around the caricature to add some ... cartooning effects, sign it and voila, the finished drawing. Total time 15 minutes.
