Drawing comic portraits or caricatures is a whole lot of
fun. How else can you get paid to poke fun at people? Of
course, it’s all in good taste and for everyone’s entertain-
ment. Caricature artists are entertainers, not comedians; if
you learn this right away, it will save you a lot of trouble.
Having trained many artists for theme parks, I finally fig-
ured out that it was easier on everyone if I could distribute
handouts of the points I was making during my demonstra-
tions. Those handouts piled up until I put them together for this
book. Explore this book, following all the instructions so you
can make your own fun caricatures and maybe even teach
those theme park artists a thing or two.
First, a few suggestions:
1
Proceed page by page, and don’t skip around the book.
It will all make more sense this way.
2
Learn the techniques first. Then you can try drawing people
in person.
3
Don’t be afraid of mistakes. With quick caricatures drawn
live, there will always be some mistakes on the page. A
good caricature artist can draw the sketch quickly, create a
likeness and make few mistakes. Most mistakes are so subtle
that no one will notice them.
