From movie stars and musicians to politicians, Dominique Philibert can really make funny portraits of the most famous people in the world. Observing the future heroes of funny drawings: studying their faces from photographs and their demeanor from video recordings, the artist achieves a striking resemblance. The characters of his cartoons were Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen, Madonna and Brad Pitt, Barack Obama and Saddam Hussein.
A resident of Montreal, Dominic Philibert draws beautiful cartoons - a cross between caricatures and portraits. In the process, you must first of all pay attention to the eyes, mouth, face shape and their ratio. Knowledge of the basic anatomical features of the face is also encouraged.
But even before you start drawing a cartoon, you need to find out as much as possible about the person to whom the funny drawing will be dedicated. You will need at least several photographs of the subject, taken from different angles, in the minutes when he is experiencing different emotions. This way you will get to know the character of the person better.
Dominique Philibert says that working on a caricatured portrait of a celebrity and a mere mortal is somewhat different. So, stars now and then flicker on TV and in the press, and the audience may turn out to be more competent than the artist in matters of VIP's life. This complicates the caricature's task. It is necessary to think not only about the character being similar to himself, but also that he corresponds to the public's perception of him. So the artist should really study the materiel really well.
When you draw a caricature of an ordinary person who is not burdened with fame, the task changes. As a rule, you do not know anything about the person being portrayed, and you have to improvise. At this point, how lucky: guessed - did not guess. The main thing in this case is not to add extra pounds to the character - otherwise the relationship will become strained, and you will lose a client, Dominique Philibert jokes. However, is he joking?
Dominique Philibert first of all cares about how he himself likes the people who will be portrayed in funny drawings. “You must love your heroes; if this does not happen, I do not advise anyone to take up the pen: you will get the biggest troubles, so you know. True, this is not Dominic Philibert, but Mikhail Bulgakov, but the approach of both authors is the same.
The secret of Dominique Philibert's creativity is that he is open to the world, curious and loves to contemplate life. The artist says that as a child he liked old things more: cars, buildings, music, paintings. And then it turned out that people become much more interesting with age. For their joys and sorrows not only shape character, but shape their faces.
