02 / Overview

What is the Caricature style?

Caricature renders portraits with exaggerated features in the tradition of newspaper editorial cartoons — larger heads relative to bodies, amplified facial expressions, simplified backgrounds. The trick is that the result still has to be recognizable as the subject; pure exaggeration without likeness is just a generic cartoon.

It is great for personalized gifts, avatar art, social posts, and team-bio illustrations. For subjects with distinctive features (glasses, beard, hair), the model latches on and the resemblance improves.

For best results, describe 2-3 standout features the model should amplify, plus a clear context (occupation, prop, setting). Avoid over-describing — caricature wants headline traits, not skin-tone detail.
