"A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way." There is a big difference between a traditional picture and a caricature. Caricatures more often than not are simple. Are there very detailed caractures sure. But that doesnt make them the norm because they certainly are not. "Beside the political and public-figure satire, most contemporary caricatures are used as gifts or souvenirs, often drawn by street vendors. For a small fee, a caricature can be drawn specifically (and quickly) for a patron. These are popular at street fairs, carnivals, and even weddings, often with humorous results." Now chuck in the pier comment which undoubtedly means amateur in nature (also very simple). I dont see the correlation between my picture (not simplfied or exaggerated) and caricature. Obviously you can think however you would like thats your opinion and that fine. Feel free to elaborate on the blandness and how uninteresting the colors are also. |
There's a lot of other things you should be worrying about other than the definion of a caricature, art wise.
But besides skill, an artist needs good taste, and enough maturity (edit: I don't like having used that word) to take, and more importantly expect and seek out criticism, both of which you lack.
Thus I'm not going to elaborate further, or say the other things about your picture.
