January 2016 Thirty Day Challenge Day 3, Park Genn-hye Caricature

Park Genn-hye caricature
marker, 9x12
by Yvonne Ham

Park Genn-hye is the current president of South Korea.   I didn't know this until I got this challenge.   My son however is up on current news and knew right away who she was.   I am in a Facebook group for caricature challenges and they are from all over the world.   It's nice to learn about world figures from this group.  

I am not sure why this looks so much like a cartoon.   My markers seem thick and out of control today.   I noticed the square face with hardly any chin.   I also had never drawn oriental eyes so this was interesting.   The red marks by her eyes was my attempt to show the cheek bones.   I don't think it worked to well.   I did another to teach myself a better way to show the cheek bones.  Below is the steps I used.

The face and hair shape

Placed eyes, nose, and lips.  I like the lips. 

Finished second attempt at Park Genn-hye

I am sure I will only get better at capturing a likeness as the challenge goes on.   I hope you liked my two finished caricatures.
