I forgot to post this on Wednesday in the end but I am part of another charity and on Wednesdays session they hired a caricaturist to come around and draw the members of the club.

I think it is a brilliant likeness :).

Well if you're happy with the likeness that says it all. Obviously another talented artist like yourself. I gather it takes a certain type of confidence to throw together an accurate caricature.

I know he's been disgraced for other reasons but I used to admire the skill of Rolf Harris in hurriedly producing great lifelike sketches. x

Ihave always liked caricatures probably since the “Spitting image” tv show.

It does take talent and confidence. I have tried doing my own caricatures before. I have my own style but they don’t come out the way I picture them though.

If a friend wanted me to draw them as a caricature I always wonder if I will offend them by making them look fat or something like that.

I did actually draw a caricature once and someone did just that.

I suppose the most lifelike ones rely on exaggeration of the subject's most striking features, even if those features aren't their most attractive. But you seem to have come through the experience pretty well Matt. 😑 x
