Caricatures from Photos: Illustrating the Comic in Life
Caricatures, like a picture of a panda or an illustration in the middle of a stuffy book, have an immediate draw, catching people’s eyes in an instant. By definition, caricatures are pictures which look like cartoons, illustrating real live models. Most caricatures center on public figures, illustrating the comic side(s) of their character. Indeed, capturing the comical element in life is the nature of a caricature. People are immensely gratified as they witness the way public figures, politicians and celebrities alike, are reduced to ordinary human beings with flaws and reasons with which we may laugh at them.
Caricatures from photos are basically cartoon-like drawings of models generated from pictures or photography. Professional caricaturists may work on pictures sent by a company to create an attractive advertisement. A picture of a beloved pet may also be turned into a caricature to surprise a friend or a loved one. You may want to have a friend’s picture made into a caricature for a humorous present, a token given at a retirement party or a birthday party.
Keep in mind however, that caricatures emphasize the comic feature(s) of a person, magnifying things others find funny but may be something the model is insecure about. Make sure that the one you’re doing a caricature of is someone who does not mind laughing about him- or herself. The internet supplies you with a lot of sites offering to create caricatures from photos at very reasonable prices. Sites which offer free online tutorials are not in shortage either.
