Just a few of the caricatures that I have done for clients all over the world. All I need is a few photographs of the subject and a brief overview of the person concerning hobbies, job etc in order to spice up the picture.
What is a caricature exactly - well its an illustration, usually in a cartoon style, depicting a specific person. A caricature differs from a straight portrait in that characteristic features of that person are exaggerated to make the caricature more humorous.Caricatures can be utilised within a cartoon to depict a certain situation or as a stand-alone depiction of the person. Some folk do get upset at such a rendition of themselves, especially if the exaggeration is of a feature they are already sensitive about.
Leonardo da Vinci drew some of the earliest known caricatures.
