As others have said, this caricature course has been more than helpful to me, and I imagine, many others. I would love to see a continuation of the lessons into more of the painting stages; Understanding the lights and shadows and breaking them down into value systems, understanding and manipulating edges, shadow mapping etc. For example, how might you have broken the values down into lights, shadows, and midtones on this difficult reference? You've done such an exacting job of breaking down the drawing portion of caricatures, it would be a pleasure to watch lessons on a more finalized painting.
My intial reaction to this rendering of Speaker Pelosi was......if it ain't broke, don;t fix it...but your keen eye, and knowledge...floored me..You're the Rembrandt of caricature art
Maybe the highlight shape is also caused by diffraction the same way that stars appear to have spikes although they are round? It's simply called "diffraction spike" and it's caused by the obstruction of our eyelashes and protein buildup on our eyes. The same effect happens in telescopes but it's regular. I notice it clearer in highlights on cars on a sunny day for example. Anyway, it's a nice tip to simulate what light does (maybe) and it also helps describe the form better. thank you.

Keep up the fantastic work!
Am i the only one that sinks that those "flapping" shapes and values on the student picture are just BETTER for caricature itself? You know - to express the person? When you smooth them out the filling are just not there...

With your brush selected, go to the "Brush Settings" palette. Click on "Shape Dynamics" and under the "Angle Jitter" setting, select "Direction" as the control. Then save that brush as a new preset.
