Caricaturation

car·i·ca·ture

a picture, description, etc., ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities or defects of persons or things: His caricature of the mayor in this morning's paper is the best he's ever drawn.


When looking for art jobs, sometimes I come across mentions of doing caricatures at a zoo or something. I've always thought they looked cool, but didn't really consider it my line of art. However, more recently I really had the urge to do some, but didn't know how.. even though maybe it's sort of self-explanatory. So I read a brief article about it and just decided to dive right in. Some people just look so normal, though; they're the hard ones to do. Haven't got around to maybe caricatures in color yet, but one day they will be.

I'm in the paper!

Firstly, there was an artist who happens to be me who was featured in a local newspaper!

Now, another piece that was featured in the "Self-Examination" art exhibit:

In this graphite and prismacolor pencil drawing entitled Our Little Secret, I used my friend Emily as a model to make a statement about the food industry. This little apple represents your food, and the slime oozing off it is the toxic stuff that's put on or in it. That sly smile is whatever schemes they use to get you to buy and eat it.
