Frames of Influence: Sagan Lacy

[Elaine Nybeck]

I'm going to start off the CAS Discussion board of Sagan Lacy's caricature presentation with links to the recommended artists that Sagan discussed during his meeting.
These were quick links I found on google searches, so feel free to expand the collection when you come across excellent sites.

Feel free to expand on this thread and discuss the workshop, caricature in general, and add links that you have found that you would like to direct other members to.

oh awesome, thanks for posting this. I was REALLY inspired by Sagan's lecture I've never been able to do caricatures before, so I became turned off to the whole idea and stuck to geometric formulas, and my art's suffered for it, I think. For me, he cleared everything up by saying something to the extent of: "don't use GEOMETRIC shapes in your caricatures, use biomorphic." and I was like "oh!". That's been my problem the whole time! I've been doing caricatures since, and already the unskilled, minimal amount I've done have helped to evolve my character designs a bit, I think.

Thanks for all the links to the artists, though. This will help me a lot, too! I'm inspired again!

Glad to hear it, that's what we have these workshops for.
Let us know if there is a topic you want us to present on!
