How to | Marilyn Monroe DIY Bedroom Decor and Wall Art

How to DIY Marilyn Monroe Bedroom Decor and Wall Art

This is a paper craft caricature of Marilyn Monroe! I am very happy with how this caricature turned out. Unlike my Taylor Swift caricature, it actually looks like the person :D
In stead of making the picture freehand, I practiced on both paper and on the computer. Even though I would love to be like other caricature artists and be able to draw perfectly on the spot, I need to realise I am not yet at the stage where I can do that. I think I need a few more years of hard work to be able to develop my skills to be able to draw perfectly the first time.

How to | Rita Ora DIY Bedroom Decor and Wall Art


This is the latest caricature in my hall of fame. It's Rita Ora! I was inspired to make this caricature after watching the UK X Factor, as Rita is one of the two newest judges.


I began by studying pictures of Rita from multiple angles. Picking a look wasn't too hard as she hasn't changed much over the years. Her hair varies in length but she seems to have maintained the bleach blonde hair and signature red lip.
Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out but I did have a hard time trying to capture Rita's likeness. It usually takes a day for me to create one of these caricatures, but this one took me 2 to 3 days. I ended up starting from scratch and changing the reference image.


Instead of using a pouty picture I decided to recreate a picture of Rita smiling. As everyone has a unique smile I figured that creating Rita with one would help bring out the likeness in my image and make the caricature more recognisable. Watch my video below to see how I created this piece.

How to | Taylor Swift DIY Bedroom Decor and Wall Art

How to DIY Taylor Swift Bedroom Decor and Wall Art

This is my first paper craft caricature! I decided to choose Taylor Swift simple because I have never caricatured her before. If I was to caricature Taylor again I would make her eyes slightly slimmer and her cheeks even fuller. To be honest, I don't really like this caricature because it doesn't immediately look like Taylor Swift (I don't think) but I decided to post it anyway because I want to show all my work and I can always make another caricature of Taylor later down the line when my art skills have improved.


I made this cute cartoon using simple shapes cut out of paper and card. I love making this style of art because I think it's very different and as an artist its so hard to stand out! I created this piece of art by sketching pictures of Taylor and then breaking her features down to simple shapes. After I'd sketched the shapes I recreated them in Microsoft Word. I then cut them out after I'd printed them on to white card.


In the future I will not be making my caricatures with black outlines. I prefer how my caricatures look with out them but if I recreate a cartoon character then I will most probably use one :D


 This is a tutorial I made for my YouTube channel, show you exactly how I made this cute paper craft caricature!

How to | Adele DIY Bedroom Decor and Wall Art

How to DIY Adele Bedroom Decor and Wall Art.
Hello all! This is a caricature I made of singing sensation Adele. I was inspired to make this caricature after Adele released her latest single, Hello. Over all, I am happy with how it looks and I enjoyed the process of making it. Once again, I caricatured Adele on paper for practice and then when I was happy with how she looked I recreated the simple shapes on the computer.
 I've really taken to making paper craft caricatures over the drawn, sketched or painted caricatures. I haven't seen many other artists using paper to make caricatures so it could be something I make into my signature style!


Watch me make this Wall Art in my YouTube video.

Mean Girls Caricature | Paper Craft


This is a caricature I made of the Mean Girls movie poster. It was extremely fiddly and time consuming to make but I am very happy with how it turned out. Everything, apart from the title was made from paper.

I Forgot about Art!

When I was 18, I used to draw lots of caricatures in my spare time and for my A level art course. When I left school I stopped drawing and I haven't really had time for drawing or caricatures since. I recently found these two caricatures...
 
 
One of Kim Kardashian West...
 
 
And one of Simon Cowell. 
Seeing these for the first time in five years reminded me of how much I used to love drawing. Now I'm 24, I've decided to start making art again. I love writing screenplays and I've recently finished my first short film, (I'll be posting about it soon) but I also want to restart making art by drawing at least two caricatures a week. I don't want to forget about art again.
