A caricature is an exaggeration of a person or item that holds a likeness to the object or individual. Most caricatures are of people, but I personally caricature vehicles as well as dogs, etc. If you want to try one yourself try to draw someone and then make an exaggeration of their nose, eyes, or any feature that comes to mind. Remember the trick is to recognize the person while changing features. For an example of caricatures visit my illustration website at http://www.bruceoutridgeproductions.com .
Good luck
