CELEBRITY CARICATURE -- Ellen Degeneres I choose celebrity Ellen Degeneres to explore that EXPRESSIONISM of a character. First of all, I exaggerate and distort photographs in order to create a bizarre and emotional portrait of her. Utilized using Photoshop liquefy tools. Below is the original photo: Ellen is a comedian, she hosts here television show “Ellen” for over 15 years. Obviously, she talks a lot and has an exponential interpersonal skill. That is why I want to emphasize her mouse when liquefying her, to show that she is good at conversations.

I am paying closer attention to details. 3.The curved line on every stroke: make a difference to the picture, not a lot in my case because I originally used lots of curved lines, but still it makes the old man looks nicer and friendly.  4.Straight edges: Sharpe edges take a longer time to draw. The figure looks abstract, there is a sense of anger, indifference personality shows on the old man. He looks harsh, harder, and less friendly. It looks more like comics/graphic novel type of appr
