Caricature Express

Art is for Fun. Party Whoop-de-doo
Fun.

Caricatures are not like looking into a mirror. Not like tracing a photograph and modeling the forms based on highlight/shadow the way we do for a Portrait. Not the same pretty face for everyone with different hair. A Real Caricature Artist will be making a statement on what she sees. And it has to be quick. First impression, no editing. Because we draw one person after the next. “How many faces can you draw per hour?” is frequently asked by my clients. (BTW, I recommend estimating ten faces per hour.)

A Real Caricature is an Exaggeration. Here are some Samples from a 12-year-old girl’s Party:

So get drawn. Have fun. Laugh.
See yourself as a Cartoon.

One of my Agents wanted photos of my work for their new Office Walls.
This is what I came up with - a smattering from several recent gigs:

Which style is Better? Well, what’s the Purpose of the Caricature. Sometimes one way is better, sometimes the other way is better.

I have recently been posting simply-drawn pictures. Nice. Very Very Quick production. But today I’m going to post some of my Caricatures that had been drawn with Intense Exaggeration.

Different skills are required of me for each type. But which is Better? Well, it depends on what the client wants.
