Here is a tutorial that shows the progression on how your caricatures and portraits
are completed.

Step 1 Draft out the position of the characters and the angle they are facing.

Step 2 Sketch out the faces, bodies together with postures and interactions (between them) in pencil.

Step 3 Inking with fine pen strokes to get the features out, followed by thicker brush strokes applied on the faces, bodies and background. The latter helps to bring the whole picture out, even in black & white.

Step 4 Colours are applied using markers. This helps to bring out the details which are impossible using pen & brush.. The colours are applied in layers, from light, medium to dark tones so that the image will look more 3-dimensional, contrasting & lively.

Step 5 The completed drawing with 3d musical notes and text added.
