Once you know which areas you would like to exaggerate, Storytelling
begin drawing your caricature. Create a New Layer above the Tutorials
white background and use a Hard Round Pressure Opacity Uploading Your Content
Brush (B) to sketch your caricature. Make sure the option for
Useful Tips & Tricks
Pressure for Opacity is selected.
Draw a gray sketch as clean as possible. This is a minimal

painting so you don’t have to include the background or too
much of the clothing. Focus on exaggerating the face with an
emphasis on the jawline.’
Here is the ñnished sketch.
Painting the Caricature
Step 2
Create a New Layer underneath the sketch. Use the Gradient

Tool (G) to ñll the layer with a muted green (#3e3726) to a
lighter green (#695d50) Linear Gradient.
Then set the Layer Blend Mode of the sketch to Soft Light.
You won’t see much of a diöerence here, but it’ll help for the
next step.
Step 3
To start painting the caricature we need a base. Create another

New Layer named “Base” underneath the sketch and use a
Hard Round Brush at 100% Hardness to paint the base colors
for the face, hair, and shirt collar. Because the sketch layer is
set to Soft Light, the sketch will blend nicely into the base
colors.
On the same layer, don’t forget to paint the base colors for the
eyes, facial hair, and lips. You can ñnd the codes for all the
colors below.
Step 4
Create a New Layer above the base and set it as a Clipping

Mask to the base. Name the layer Shadows and set the Blend
Mode to Multiply. We’ll be using the Eyedropper Tool (I) to
select colors to set as our Foreground Color, then use those
colors already on the canvas to paint the ñrst shadows for this
portrait.
Create another New Layer clipped to the base and name it

Texture. Set the Blend Mode to Multiply and use the Triangle
Pastel Brush (B) to add brown realistic skin texture to the face
and neck.
Step 5
Let’s start adding some highlights. Clip a New Layer named,

Highlights, to the base. Set the Blend Mode to Linear Dodge
(Add) and use the Eyedropper Tool (I) to pickup nearby colors
to paint highlights. You should be studying your original
reference this entire time that you paint. Concentrate the
highlights towards the upper regions of the face.
Now select all the layers for the sketch and face and Merge
them together. Name the new layer Caricature.
Step 6
It’s time to tidy up this painting and make it look cleaner. To do

this, use the same Hard Round Pressure Opacity Brush from
earlier to start cleaning up the texture in the face, hair, and
collar. Paint all this on the Caricature layer, making sure to
clean up the soft blurry edges with a crisper edge.
Step 7
Create a New Layer above the Caricature layer and name it

Highlights. Set the Blend Mode to Overlay and use white and
bright warm colors to add more highlight onto the skin. Make
the cheeks and ears a little rosier and the top of the forehead
and hair brighter.
We can’t forget the beard! To make this painting come alive

we’ll need to paint tiny details where the light will be bouncing
around. Start oö by creating a New Layer set to Linear Dodge
(Add) above the Highlights. Name this layer, Details and use
the Eyedropper Tool (I) to select colors already on the canvas

to paint highlights in that area.
Paint the hair for the beard in all diöerent directions. Draw
swift tiny strokes to show light and movement.
Step 8
Merge all your caricature layers together except for the

background to ñnish this painting on two separate layers. This
will help with ñle size and performance.
Continue painting details to add more personality to this

portrait. Add more tiny hairs around all the facial hair,
including the mustache, beard, and eyebrows. Paint white
highlights around the lips, and clean up all the edges for a
perfect portrait.
If you feel your portrait could use a little more painting to it,
consider adding onto the man’s outñt. Here I paint shoulders
and part of his shirt. Start with a solid dark blue base, and then
add the wrinkles of the shirt slowly with a Soft Round Brush.
If you still need more length to the body, go to Filter > Liquify
and use the Forward Warp Tool (W) to drag down the shirt
and shoulders.
Create a New Layer above the caricature and set it to Linear

Light. Use the same blue from the shirt, paint soft shadow on
the bottom and sides of your portrait using a Soft Round
Brush. Merge all the layers together.
Here is the ñnal painting.
And that’s it! Digital paintings take a lot of practice but with
time and determination you can create a fun caricature of your
own! I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial, feel free to let us know
your questions in the comments below. Good luck!
