We all know that a caricature artist is the life and soul of the party or social event. He or she instantly draws attention to themselves wherever they go. People like to spend time around those people who make them laugh. How many times have you stood behind a caricature artist in the street and been fascinated by the way they can quickly reproduce a fantastic and amusing, but usually extremely accurate picture of the subject. Well with a bit of practice and the right tuition and equipment that person could be you.
Obviously the traditional caricature artist uses a pencil and paper (or similar) but now with the advent of digital drawing the possibilities are even greater by utilising a Computer Drawing Tablet. You could easily set up your own website offering a service for people you have never even met or spoken to. They could email you a photo of the person they want you to ‘do’ and you can work straight off that on your computer via your Computer Drawing Tablet. By emailing them a small draft copy of your work you can gauge their reaction and if its good just continue on with the work. If its not to their liking just ask them for another photo of the subject and work from that one. This type of offer will always go down well as a special individual present for someone. Just think of the fantastic customer reviews, feedback and examples you can add to the website. Once you begin this type of thing the sky is the limit. You can also advertise your services on the on line auction sites and just imagine what the demand would be for these special presents around Christmas time?
There has always been a tremendous demand for a skilled caricature artist, and with the advent of digital artwork this has given the artist so many more ways to get their work seen by the masses. Rather than just relying on local word of mouth or people actually seeing you work in the flesh, you can literally have the whole world as a fan and potential customer base. Using the right type of computer drawing tablet will give you an unbelievable amount of control and incredible detail you never before thought possible.These devices come in a vast range of sizes and cost but you can begin for as little as $30 and go literally as high as you want to. The portability of the computer drawing tablet is also a major factor to consider. You can set yourself up with your laptop and digital tablet and you are all set to produce work which can at the click of a mouse be, quite literally sent from one side of the world to the other. The possibilities of this are huge.
Learning how to draw caricatures that people will love and pay cash for, is the most difficult part of successfully becoming a caricature artist. However with the right equipment, instruction and guidance the world is literally in your own hands.
