Tom Richmond, a well known caricature and Mad Magazine artist, describes caricature art this way –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cCaricature is not about choosing one feature and making it bigger, it\u2019s about all the features together and how they relate to one another.\u201d<\/p>\n
Actually caricature is about changing the relationships between features, meaning their distance, size and angle relative to one another, from what they truly are and what is considered \u201cnormal\u201d. Deciding what relationships to change and how much to change them is one of the caricaturist\u2019s most important jobs, and one of the most difficult to \u201clearn\u201d. The actual difference between the relationship of features of most humans does not add up to much in terms of physical measurements\u2026 a \u201cbig\u201d nose may be only a fraction of an inch larger than a \u201cnormal\u201d nose. Yet we can see different feature relationships on almost everybody, some which seem very pronounced. That is because we spend basically our entire lives looking into people\u2019s faces\u2026 we go it when we interact, work, play, go shopping or to church\u2026 we are social beings and our faces are both our identities and our method of communication. Our ability to observe minute differences becomes very fine tuned. Mostly it\u2019s unconscious, but we see that fraction of an inch larger nose as \u201cbig\u201d, or we see this person\u2019s eyes as large or this person\u2019s mouth as small based not on physical measurements but on our overall perception of the features and how they relate to one another. Consciously making those observations, especially for those faces in which the unique aspects are not obvious, is the most difficult part of drawing caricatures. There are some techniques and methods you can use to help make those observations.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
