This site is intended for people who want to learn how to
draw caricatures. There are many styles of doing caricatures,
but the only style I can effectively teach is my own. My style
comes from a love of drawing portraits and cartoons, so my
style is sort of a cartoony-portrait style. I really think it
will help if you know a little bit about drawing people in a
"straight" way before you start messing them up in a
caricature. So if you'd like a course in DRAWING
PEOPLE, check out that section of this site.

An example of my style: Elvis. |
The style of caricature that I've developed is a
"quick" style. I try to get as much detail in the
drawing as possible with as few lines as possible. I spent
many years drawing caricatures for people where I worked on a
per-drawing basis, so the more I drew the more money I made. I
was able to draw a complete caricature of one person in under
10 minutes. So, because of that, my style evolved into something
that (I hope) looks finished, but not rushed. This is the style
that I will teach.
I will go through caricaturing step by step and I encourage
you to follow along and do the drawings as you read about
them. Copy the lines I show you and copy the caricatures I
draw. Try and mimic my style, but I strongly encourage you to
develop your own style of drawing. Take what you like about
what I teach, but disregard anything you don't like or
disagree with. Draw your own lines and shapes and shade them
how you like. Study my caricature style, but also study other
caricature artists and take what you like about their style as
well.
