PHOTO GUIDELINES FOR ONLINE CARICATURE ORDERS
When creating a caricature from a photo, we only get one chance to get an idea
of what the subject looks like, so a good photo is very important. Here are some
basic guidelines to insure the best quality caricature possible:
-
Each head to be caricaturized should be approx. 2
inches from chin to top of head or larger
-
Each subject should be making an expression
similar to that desired in the final product.
-
If not absolutely clear in the photos, please
specify eye & hair color. Keep in mind dark hair is very hard to make out
against a dark background, especially if you do not know the person. If hair
style is not clear in the photo, please provide a second photo for hair
style if possible.
-
Please include each individual's hobby or
interests if a body/background is desired.
-
When in doubt of the quality of your photo, please
e-mail photo to
info@cartoonslinger.com with any questions before
making payment.
The photos and sketches below are samples of real customers'
photos and the caricatures created from them. all images are scaled down to save
space.

To create a
caricature with multiple subjects, it is not necessary for everybody to
be in one photo, in fact it often works better to work from more than
one photo in order to get a good expression of everyone involved. I used
the 2 photos on the left to create the caricature of the couple on the
right. They requested an outdoors style background with mountains and
flowers, and wanted a gown for her and a suit with no tie for him and
hiking boots for both.
