I love this drawing, Court. I bow my head to your mastery of strokes. The approach to try and sculpt the form with one set of lines (hatching) without the need to cross-hatch for getting darker - and your ability to pull it off, are amazing. Very inspiring for me in my own travels to mastery. Thank you very much for sharing! 😘
Those rapidiograph pens I thought were awful. Expensive and hard to take care of. They clogged all the time and once they were clogged you had to throw them away. Plus the constant shaking to relieve the ink. These new disposable pens are incredible and have such a beautiful line
Very nice one! If I just saw the picture without knowing who you meant to draw (and I actually don't know this actor), this could easily be a good caricature of Paul Rudd - especially in the early pencil phase! But I guess these two do have similiar features.
Hello Court & the lovely Miss Deb! I’m sorry I wasn’t available for the live feed but watching now. I find it interesting that you don’t like crosshatching and just hatching lol I like that and I dig the look of hatching. 2 Questions; I am registered to take Tom Richmond’s Workshop in Queens NY in June, if someday(hopefully) you happen to have a live workshop(in person) in my area of NY,NJ & Ct, would the two styles of you and Tom’s be of benefit to me or conflict with each other as a student? Question 2; Do you sell these pieces that you stream on RUclips, like this one? Grazie sir!
Hey Big Daddy. Thanks! I think Tom has more of an established technique and system for drawing his MAD caricature inkings. They're very consistent-looking. Whereas I sort of make it up as I go along. I don't ink nearly as much as him. But when I do, I strive to make that particular drawing unique and interesting, regardless of what I've done before. So I would say that Tom would be a good choice if you want to draw in a more controlled, consistent manner. Also, I don't regularly teach the subject of inking nor do I plan to offer in-person workshops like him. I'm not opposed to the idea. But I would say if you have the opportunity to take one with Tom, then you should do it. You'll take from it what is useful to you, I'm sure.
Hey Kourosh. I was using Prismacolor, Micron and Staedtler brand fine liners. Sizes were between .005 and 0.8 mm. I don't use Sharpies to draw with, personally.
Beautiful! And very instructive ! You gave many insights into how to draw a effective and catchy caricature!

thank you so much!
Really terrific demonstration, Court! I really appreciated Debbo fielding questions as well.
Thanks, Lar!
Also a huge office fan and would love a series on them!

Nice pen work 🎉

Oh, and yes, check the store on my "Courtjones.com" website in the coming days and I should have my Jim drawing posted there soon.
Just for accuracy, they actually died - not just in mere seconds - but in LESS THEN A MILLISECOND! Try and wrap our heads around that one lol
What do you call these pens. ? Are there different colors?
There are different colors for the Prismacolor brand fine line markers. But I don't know about the other brands.
Could you repeat the names and the size of the pens. Do you use Sharpie. Fine tip. Kourosh. Atlanta

What kind of paper do you use. Kourosh
Today I used Borden and Riley #234 Paris Paper for Pens, 108 lb.
