More fun with office supplies.

My attempt at drawing a Johnny Depp caricature.

Any tips or critique would be greatly appreciated, I eventually want to do this as a side hobby

Trying to get the hang of watercolours

Done at work with office supplies

I learned very basic character drawing as a kid and have dabbled in the tiny bit I know from time to time over the last 30+ years, but I've always been self conscious that I've never been able to progress past a kid-level of drawing and I've always been discouraged to keep trying harder.

I'm 42 now and I really want to devote the time and practice to actually learning how to draw caricatures. I try and follow the You Tube tutorials but all of them are too effortless for the artist and I can't get my head shapes to even look remotely decent. It seems like it is the easiest part of the process.

I've been a professional magician my entire life so I know I have above level dexterity, and I've self taught myself every single slight of hand move just from tutorials or reading descriptions, but when it comes to drawing my hands are not doing what my mind is telling it to do. Is this common with drawing?

Is there ANY tutorials (paid or free) that someone can point me to that will help me at all? I feel like this is one of those things that I want more than I'll ever get to achieve.

I guess, what is the absolute best resource for a beginner that wants to take it serious? Thanks in advance!
