caricature artists

Comedic portrait sketchers

Caricature artists draw exaggerated portraits that distort distinctive features for comic effect.

They work at fairs, boardwalks, and parties, producing quick sketches that amplify a subject's prominent nose, ears, or chin.

The term also applies to editorial cartoonists who satirize public figures: The caricature artist captured the politician's famous scowl.
