Important Note:

This book is no longer available as a Free book on Google Knol, because Google decided to pull the plug on Knol. I am trying to find some other method to make this book available to my readers. I hope to succeed, and if I do, I’ll let you know about it – right here. If you came here looking for the book, I am sorry for the disappointment you must’ve experienced. How about following this blog? Then you’ll be the first to know whenever it’s published again

I have written a book called “The Evolution of a Caricaturist” on How to Draw Caricatures. This book explains the art of creating caricatures and helps you develop a method to achieve a funny likeness to the subject of your caricature. It begins by explaining what a caricature is, establishes an effective method for observation of human facial features, and then feature-by-feature, it helps you develop “the skill of exaggerating to achieve humor and likeness.”

A Personal Note:

I believe that the artists of this world form a dynamic continuum. There are a lot of caricature artists who are ahead of me and I could learn a lot from them…but then there probably are an equal number of artists and graphic designers who excel in other areas and want to master the art of drawing caricatures. They are looking for “simple-to-understand and ready-to-apply” methods of creating caricatures so that they may explore yet another facet of art. Through this book, I wish to share my knowledge of caricature drawing with them. I hope they find it helpful.
