Most of the caricatures that I do are made with black markers and art stix (colored pencil). I've played around with using various gray markers for shading black and white drawings, and once I tried using watercolor paints. I enjoy trying out different materials, and one of the fringe benefits to being an art teacher is that I have access to a room full of art supplies. Here are a few recent sketches that I did with on gray paper using black and white charcoal. I enjoyed the way that it let me quickly build a wide range of values, and blend shadows by smudging with my finger. Doing it this way makes me curious about using hard chalk pastels to make some caricatures in color. Hmmm......
