The internet has a lot of great things going for it. A caricature eBook is a wonderful investment for many “struggling artists to be”. There are a lot of “eBooks” out there that are a waste of money too.
Your local library has some wonderful materials that can be checked out. The problem with that is that you can only keep them for a limited period of time. Sometimes, it is really nice to have a dvd or written documents on hand.
If you have never tried cartooning and think you have a knack for it a caricature drawing tutorial might be an inexpensive way to start out. While drawing caricatures isn’t really that difficult many folks have a hard time getting the proportions of their subjects right.
The person that you are drawing may have a grumpy disposition. If they are always frowning you are going to accentuate some “frown lines” in their face. Somehow a caricature of Andy Rooney isn’t going to look right if he has a big smile on his face! Those bushy eyebrows are a gold mine for a caricature artist.
Finding a way to make a living drawing caricatures may be your dream. Keep in mind you will probably be paid by the hour or on a “contract” basis with an existing firm. You will have to figure out a way to get your own benefits such as health insurance.
The trade off of working on your own is you can make more money that way but you will have to pay for your own overhead expenses. Fortunately, you can even find a caricature e book that “fits the bill” for that!
If you want to really get serious about drawing caricatures there are all kinds of materials available. Whatever your goals are don’t let anyone talk you out of pursuing them if you know you have the “right stuff”.
