How to Draw Jenna Marbles, Jenna Marbles Caricature

So we are going to draw famous youtuber, Jenna Marbles. The first thing we have to do is look at a couple reference pictures of her, so we can understand the features and proportions of her face. Every face has different features and it is up to cari

Next, I drew an quick structure of how I want the caricature. This process should only take less than a minute or two. Remember the quicker you draw, the better your image in your head goes onto the paper. At this point I am not looking at the refere

I start with the eyes. Look back up at the reference of Jenna and you can almost see the shape of her eyes. Her eyes are very angular, so I exaggerated that. Also she seems to always be wearing a lot of make up around her eyes, so I also exaggerated

Now, typically I start with the nose because it helps me establish a good proportion of the middle of the face. But I left that part out for this because her eyes really seemed to call to me. Her nose is tiny, so I exaggerated that. Exaggeration does

Now I start with the top portion of her mouth. It's always easier to look at the mouth as one portion while sketching, but when you finally draw it, think of it as two sections; like it is.

At this part I am just basically designing the hair. Using my brain to the best of my ability to map out which direction the hair will move.

At this part I am just moving my eyes around the drawing to touch it up. Adding more detail to the hair, mouth, nose, etc. I also add her exaggerated neck and torso.

Now I add the inner section of the eyes. The only reason why I do this last is because of Tom Richmond. I still don't have a clue why I copy him with this, but it's what I do. I made her cross-eyed because it made her look a little bit more goofy an

Here I color the caricature. One thing that will help you on this is adding a light source on the drawing so you can tell which parts need to be in shadow and which sections need to be lighter. Take a look at references to help you with this part if
