We would like to announce artist number eight has joined the team at Caricature King.

Shawn expands the list of more realistic art styles that are proving very popular.

If you need a birthday gift caricature, a wedding caricature or a retirement caricature, then have a look at Shawn’s caricature art samples.

With Halloween just around the corner, why not think about a Halloween caricature?

Here is an example.

At Caricature King one of the great aspects of having a team of experienced artists is that they are all so talented.

This means that not only can they draw caricatures, but they can also do work in other genres – including portraits.

There are times when a caricature is not the best way to go for a gift or presentation, while a portrait would be perfect.

For this reason we have decided to have a page specifically for portraits.

These will be idea for formal graduation, family milestone, professional gift etc.

Our artists can assemble people into formal poses working from several photos – even black and white photos, so an unsuitable photo can be used to create a wonderful piece of art!

Follow this link for our portrait page and links to samples.

Here is a quick run-down on the process between an order being received and the final order being completed.

First we receive the image from the customer. In this case the image is below standard, as it does not sow the face clearly. Ideally a second photo as a close up of the face should have been supplied.

Next the artist completes a sketch, based on the photo and any instructions from the customer. In this case the artist is Shane.

As you can see Shane does a pencil sketch. Some artists are more neat and some do an inked line sketch. Either way, it is to show the artist’s interpretation of the instructions and how he sees the person being caricatured. This is the time for any changes to be requested. In this case is was for the chef’s hat to be larger, more realistically sized.

Here is the final artwork.

As you can see the process is straightforward and you have the confidence through the draft stage of what you are going to get!
