“Evolution of a Caricaturist” 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.”

What this book is all about:

Among all kinds of illustrations, caricatures are the ones that evoke the highest response from the audience. A caricature achieves this by weaving the spell of humorous likeness around its subject.

This book establishes a logical method to harness the creative madness that results in caricatures. I call it the Feature Frame Method © and illustrate how this method can be used to selectively exaggerate every facial feature.

This book helps you master the art of caricature drawing by presenting more than 70 artworks and technical drawings and analyzing the features of more than 30 celebrity faces.

    • Thanks for commenting Edmun. One of the books that I’d recommend, is of course mine. It is a methodical text that establishes an easy to use method (The Feature Frame Method) that a caricaturist can use on the deviating features and ensure that his caricature looks funny and yet its likeness isn’t destroyed. Here’s the link once again:

      This is a Kindle eBook and you can read it only almost every reading devices (running iOS, Android and other OSs.)
      Additionally, I’d recommend that you look at other books available on Amazon.
      I also keep writing posts with Caricaturing tips, so do follow the blog 🙂
      Best Wishes. S.

      Thanks for writing. I had published Evolution as a Knolbook, and now that Knol is out of business, it’s no more online. It’s new and enriched edition may be published again shortly. As you’ve subscribed to my posts, you’ll come to know when it becomes available again 🙂

      Best wishes,

    P.S.: note that the draw in the chapter about nose is not visible (I use Mozilla Firefox).

    Dewey…you could wrap Gram around your left paw if you wanted:) Your Gram is a fantastic woman, who is very talented. You should talk to her sometime – pup-to-human!

    I do what I can – sometimes I feel that I’d be dead in about 5 years and so I have to do whatever I can and I want to…in this time – I think that’s what drives me.

    Love,
    S
