Be Your Own Caricature Artist Houston

By Melissa Schmidt


Caricatures are portraits of exaggerated features of a person or a thing. To draw a person's caricature, you will need to understand the components of a face, and what makes one face noticeably different from another. While it takes knowledge and practice to identify particular features that makes a person unique, a program that emulates a caricature artist houston called a caricature generator can do just that.

If you look at the mind of a caricature artist, they will need to first look at the face to be drawn, study the details of the face, and then subjectively identify how certain facial features stand out among the norm that they are familiar with. When this happens, they keep in mind features that they find unique and leave out certain details of the face that they deem insignificant. They then print the visualized image they see in their mind by drawing it out.

Start exaggerating those features. The most common ways to exaggerate the features of the face is to draw them bigger or smaller. You can adjust, make trial and error drawings on which best fits the face. You can also draw several caricatures with different features exaggerated so you can choose which of the caricatures have the likelihood of the original subject. Of course, it should have the likelihood of the person who are drawing, or else, you are not making a caricature.

However, with this program, it does not leave out details that do not stand out completely but only gives less exaggeration towards the feature. Nevertheless, this program is able to keep the exaggerated details within recognizable boundaries, only adding a little distortion to form the character of what makes a cartoon.

Usually, before making the comparisons, these programs, just like cartoon artists, will require you to identify your gender. This is necessary as male features tend to be different from those of females. Males tend to have sharper features, while females tend to have gentler curves. When your gender is identified, they may pay more attention to certain details of your face as compared to those of the similar gender in their database. Then, they will either make the lines of the feature sharper or gentler accordingly.

The cartoon generator surely is one highly-advanced technology; having able to detect details we humans heuristically miss. With that said, using this program not only allows you to cartoon your face, it also gives you an idea of how people see you. Try it out to find out which features make what people think is you!

If you've been to a street fair or amusement park lately, you may have seen a cartoon artist in action. People stop to have their comic portraits drawn in a cartoon style, often with very large heads and tiny bodies doing something funny. If you'd like to learn how to draw these types of drawings, the book, Face Off: How to Draw Amazing Caricatures and Comic Portraits, by Harry Hamernik, can help.

There is a great sampling of different facial types and a fair range of ages, although there are no older people at all. But there are some with glasses, a head bandana, jewelry, and facial hair, the sorts of things that can trip you up.
