Caricature is an exaggrerated portrait that distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. In this caricature, I draw an old and tired lady sitting down be the pavement taking a rest. Her face is drawn bigger with a protruding mouth.
The face is shaded with the side rather than the pointed tip of the pencil to produce a soft stroke. Her face is shaded with a soft brown tone with the forehead given a darker shade.
This technique is known as crosshatching. Generally it is formed from a series of intersecting lines. This technique is very common, generally because it is clean and simple.
This caricature is coloured to make it looks more attractive and eye catching.
