Tips and good practices for designer
🎁
Why give a caricature as a gift?
A Unique and Personalized Gift: A caricature is exclusive and made especially for the person receiving it, capturing their personality, features, and lifestyle in a fun and creative way. No one else will have the same gift.
✏️
Difference between caricatures and illustration
A caricature exaggerates a person’s features for a playful or humorous effect an illustration visually represents ideas or concepts, either realistic or stylized, without exaggerating personal traits.
