Caricature illustrators

Caricature artists have a keen eye for detail and a good sense of humor. A caricature is a distorted visual representation of a subject that exaggerates some traits while oversimplifying others, usually for comedic or satirical effect, and social commentary. Because it still retains the subject’s likeness, it is technically considered a form of portrait art. Caricature illustrators are hired for political cartoons, corporate illustration, advertising and marketing projects, editorial pieces for publishers or magazines, children’s books, greeting cards, and even product packaging. Caricaturists have their own style as well as an understanding of the latest social trends, in order to be able to create socially relevant pieces with humorous undertones.
