cartooned
Sketched with exaggeration
Cartooned is the past tense of cartoon, meaning to depict someone or something in the style of a cartoon—simplified, exaggerated, or caricatured.
A cartooned image emphasizes distinctive features for comic or satirical effect.
The term can also describe how someone has been portrayed in an actual cartoon: The president was cartooned mercilessly by political satirists.
More broadly, it suggests any representation that reduces complexity to bold, simplified strokes.
