caricaturist
Satirical portrait maker
A caricaturist is an artist who creates caricatures—drawings that exaggerate distinctive features for comic or satirical effect.
Caricaturists work at carnivals, boardwalks, and parties, sketching portraits on the spot, or in editorial cartooning, lampooning public figures: The caricaturist gave the politician an enormous nose and tiny hands.
