You could probably do it easily in Xara. Then export the lineart for coloring in PI, or just simply finish the entire thing in Xara. The hard part for me was to get the flow of the lines right. Lines leads the eyesight, and for styles like these, I guess I was going for a flow from the center upwards, curving to the left and right, while the bumper forms a smiley mouth. Very subliminal, but that's how I feel caricatures and cartoony styles work.
I have a set of 2D path on lines I keep in my pallette. I just drag them out and switch to path edit mode. I usually just duplicate and edit them as I go along. Attached is the zipped PI8 file of those objects. Very cumbersome compared to Xara brushes, but I guess I do things the hard way, just to punish myself...
Bob, goofy characters.... I guess I would have to draw a group caricature of the members here in TG ....
Nah, caricatures eludes me, too.
