Caricature
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
A caricature is a funny drawing of a person that exaggerates their most noticeable features. If someone has big ears, the caricature might make them huge. If they have a pointy nose, it might look like a beak in the drawing. Caricatures are usually drawn quickly, often while the person watches. They’re meant to be humorous and entertaining, not exactly like a photograph. How? The artist starts by looking closely at the person’s face to spot their most unique features. They then sketch a quick outline, making these features bigger or more noticeable than they are. The artist might also add things that represent the person’s hobbies or personality. They usually use pencils, markers, or digital tools to create the final image in just a few minutes. Why? Provides a fun, exaggerated version of a person’s likeness. Quick and entertaining for event attendees. Offers a personalized keepsake. Appeals to both participants and onlookers. A lighthearted way to see yourself through someone else’s eyes.
