Welcome, how are you all doing? My name is Lars Erik Robinson. My company is LarsEr Arts
All Around Art-tainment. It's my slogan. I have fifteen years in the business as I graduated
Ringling School of Art and Design in 94. And today I thought I'd talk about how you apply
different kind of colors and what different colors you can use to apply to caricature
art or illustration art. Basically my preference is the art sticks and they're so easy to apply
and use that you can get all these different techniques with them. You can go from really
hard edges and to - you could also fade it out. I'm using that by using a pad, a padding
in the back of it. What you could also use is chalk, there's chalk out there, that could
be blended. This is Rembrandt pastel. And you can be smudged in which I don't necessarily
prefer too much. I like using a color pencil lead, a big lead, and that's excellent if
you're just doing black and white caricatures, because you can take just like the other ideas
with the brow, you can take the side of it and color it. And there's markers out there
you can use, and there's airbrushing, there's watercolor. You can actually take watercolors
and do it with watercolor, which to me seems to be a waste of time because eventually after
I do my watercolor I'm going to add my art sticks to it to get the last details. But
I usually do my watercolor when I do my studio caricatures not my street caricatures. So,
it's really fun, I enjoy color a lot, and just relating it to it. So like for - as you
can see right here, if I have a highlight right here, and I want to enhance that warmness,
I would take my art stick right up against the edge of that yellow and enhance it. But
where's the blue? Where's the shadow, the blue you might wonder? If this guy has a blue
shadow on the side of his face, like there's a moon over here or there's darkness, you
can just take the side of that and pop in that blue. Art is wonderful, keep on enjoying
the art and having fun. Thank you guys.
