Description

Caricature is an old-age art form that uses exaggeration to make a satirical or humorous point. It is, however, underpinned by strong technical principles. "Drawing Caricatures" explains those principles through step-by-step instruction moving from observation to simple aspects of drawing, and then to caricaturing the face feature by feature.
