Synopsis

This survey illustrates the art of caricature, a long-established form that uses exaggeration to make a satirical or humorous point. Moving from observation to simple aspects of drawing, the style's strong technical principles as well as an explanation on caricaturing the face feature by feature are discussed. Exploring tools, mediums, and materials from the quill pen to digitized imaging, this unique handbook will enable every artist to learn the method and develop their own style.
