1. Caricature? What is it?
Caricature is a pictorial representation in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated or distorted to produce a comic or grotesque effect.
2. What is digital drawing?
For our digital caricature, we draw and painted digitally with a Cintiq tablet made by Wacom. The Cintiq enables the artist to work naturally and intuitively drawing and painting directly on the surface of an LCD display. Our technique when painting digitally is very similar to the hand-drawn painting. We do not use any form of photo manipulation, the work that we create digitally is hand drawn and painted. Painting digitally has it's advantages for both us and the customers. There is no fuss or time spent on scanning or color correcting. It is never a problem if changes need to be made. The best part about it is that the final result looks like a traditional painting. Often people confuse our digital painting with traditional one.
