Be Your Own Caricature Artist Houston

By Melissa Schmidt


Am sure you have come across them at a certain instant if not instants in your life mostly at carnivals and such like fairs. You must have encountered at a carnival or a kids events, places that are filled with fun and general fun activities. The society calls him a caricature artist houston, and there is a reason they are so popular and be found almost anywhere.

There have been many times I have drawn someone, and when they look at the drawing I did of them, they get a flash of self-discovery that may very possibly change their lives forever. How wonderful is that? I remember a time I was drawing at a Grief Camp for children.

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.

I was drawing caricatures at the camp on the last Friday night, a celebration dance party of sorts. As always I had a crowd that would make a Tokyo elevator seem roomy. This adorable girl who barely looked up from staring at her shoes was my next subject.

Her counselor was there by my side and did most of the talking for her. I worked so hard to see deeper into her personality and find that little something in her that would bring light into her eyes. With the help of the counselor, I managed to get a few laughs from the audience watching and once a small smile from the girl. I finished the drawing and showed it to her. She immediately stood with confidence and looked at the drawing. A small smile got bigger and she just marveled at the drawing. "I look like my mother!" she claimed. " I'm so beautiful".

This was the crack in the barrier wall that the counselors were waiting for and immediately took advantage of the situation. Driving a wedge into the emotional crack in her wall, they began the healing process for her. The girl gave me a huge tight hug and as she walked off with her counselor, the counselor looked over her shoulder and silently said "thank you". That is why I will always strive to see the best in my subjects, particularly young people.

Most people look at a cartoon as being a bad portrait. Remember a character drawing Is not a celebrity photo. It's a funny, exaggerated cartoon portrait. A cartoon is a big head drawing with a little body. I know a great amount of party cartoonists and party caricaturists working in the entertainment business. New York City cartoon artists seem to get the most work.

The book starts by discussing materials and supplies you will need, including pencils, paper, markers and color pencils. I like the instructions for a do-it-yourself lap easel, which can be made cheaply if you have very basic handy construction skills.
