The Good And The Bad Side Of Being A Caricature Artist

By Diane Brown


A drawing says a lot about the kind of person who drew it. It may be an expression of an individuals feeling and how one sees the world. One type of drawing is sketching people where it gives emphasis on what the person is doing. The center of interest is mostly on the facial structure like the eyes and the mouth. The ones appearance may either be captured according to how one imagines it. Most of the time, these can be copied from a sample.The common medium is through pencil strokes. The virtuoso who gives life to it is the caricature artist Houston.

Art has a lot of form variations. It can be through the use of oil on canvas, eggshells, watercolor to charcoal and other materials. It takes a vivid imagination and a genius streak to truly produce a work benefiting a designer. Some individuals are born with the gift while the rest have acquired it through years of practice. For one to develop it through acquisition, it might be a challenge because the ability is not natural. It will therefore become a test of patience and perseverance to make it through. Time will tell if the student will not easily succumb to the hardship and if the interest falters.

Along the way, meeting different people from all walks of life is inevitable. The experience can either create good memories or bad challenges. This is part of life's complexity. How a person deals with it after is what matters.

In dealing with a certain kind of work, it is not enough to receive support from family, friends and colleagues. This group may not be there always. There will come a time when an individual needs to self motivate. The thought of doing it is hard but once it is done out of habit, it becomes a mastery. This is one secret every artisan has perfected over the course of their careers.

Nowadays, several forms of creation can be rendered through the use of computerized imaging. This is the modern way to draw everything. This kind of ability may differ than that of the conventional painter in that one needs to be certified to handle special software to do the task.

The cost that it will take for a person to establish an art varies individually. It takes creativity to find resources. Others will flock to junk shops in the faith of finding a bargain. Some forms will take to more expensive taste like rare precious stones and other materials found only in specific places. The return of investment will then be a question if it pays off handsomely. Sometimes the risk is not worth it especially when one has just started and there is no steady clientele.

The most practical and notable use is in police assistance in catching criminals. Newspapers contain politicians in their current state of affairs. Whether it is funny or insulting, it can be there to make a social and political point of view. Other public figures such as celebrities appear as entertainment and can be found in magazines.

Others merely consider it as a hobby. It is in a form of gift given to friends and family. It exists as a way of expression and how fondly the creator looks towards the subject. It may also serve as practice for improvement in the hopes of becoming a professional eventually.

In life, everything is in a balance. Success can never be achieved without any sacrifice in the beginning. At times it will depend on what career one has taken to predict an early glorious outcome. But still, patience will always be the key to everything.
