Caricatures portray a person’s character and personality. A good caricature artist finds a person’s character and personality by listening and by engaging in dialogue with the person they are drawing whilst they draw the caricature.
As well as drawing caricatures of people a good caricature artist can draw cartoons of the social and cultural environment that is the context of their drawing. Live Traditional and Digital Caricatures
However, I believe a good caricature artist is sensitive towards the multicultural environment that is the context of their drawing. So to do this in a cartoon an artist can choose images that are sensitive towards different cultures.
A very useful thing about this application is that it allows you to upload a photo of yourself as a form of reference by making it a background image. Then, you can increase the transparency of the picture and place the face components from the database onto the picture. This way, you can compare the similarity between the components that you have selected with the real face.
Even if you do not find a matching face component in comparison to the real face, you can select the most similar face component, and edit accordingly. With the scale tool, you are able to elongate or shorten that component to fit the picture reference simply by clicking and dragging. You can also use the opacity tool to increase or decrease the darkness of the lines and the shades of the components, which helps accentuate certain features. New York Digital Caricature Artist
After you have placed the components together to form the caricature, you can remove the background picture easily without affecting it. You may want to save the image in the form of a.jpeg or.gif file format for keepsake. You can also share the caricature you have created in websites for others to see.
The fun thing about using this application is that you can come up with different looks for a specific face. For example, you can make a caricature of yourself and change your hairstyle from straight and long, to afro. Or you could even give yourself a ‘face surgery’, trying out different types of noses for yourself. You’re not giving yourself a new look, but you can get an idea of how you’d look like with different components. Try out one of these applications; you may just find yourself a treat.
Also, developing an appropriate style to draw the cartoon in can communicate the subject the caricature artist is drawing character and personality. Various materials can be used to draw a caricature e.g. pencil, pen, felt, charcoal, paint etc. A pencil, pen and charcoal drawing will give a sketchy look to the caricature (I think you would have gathered this already). Pencil, charcoal, felt and paint can be used to give contrast and a dramatic look to a caricature. These materials can be used to give further moods and effects to caricatures. digital caricature artists for trade shows
To become a great caricature artists, learning to draw well, is far from the primary skill needed for the job. The ability to interpret the personality, attitude and mood of the subject is paramount. The artist should have an eye to spot out a specific and outstanding personality trait or use the scenery of the subject to create a fun portrait.
It is common for general caricature artist to emphasize negativity in their arts but for wedding caricature artists, zeroing in on the funny traits or scene of the subject is preferable. This is because, a fun portrait will promote the happy and perfect mood of a wedding, hence, attract more client base than an insulting one.
For instance, if a person has an interesting and talkative personality, the artist might consider laying emphasis on the lips or mouth and blowing it up in proportion. Simple drawing a caricature with giant mouth/lip/nose does not make for a great portrait; there should always be a proportionate exaggeration of the persona and characteristics of the scenery of the subject – something that anybody that has pre-knowledge of subject/scene will be able to pick up at first glance.
