Type of Illustration
Caricature
A caricature is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. In literature, a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others.
The term is derived from the Italian caricare – to charge or load.
Inspired from
Tony Parsons (http://twistedportrait.co.uk/theheadlines)
He tries to preserve as much likeness as it possible with funny exaguration. Coloured pictures are seems more alive. He is drawing as celebrities, politicians and working on a "field" (weddings, corporate parties). Also, he is teaching his techniques.
Examples
Here we see that Tony showed a tiny points of exaguration of Russian Prime Minister. Tony was aiming not exagurate the face but focus on history of his object. He added a nice symbol of socialism on this work and make it stand out with particular technique. Idea vs Caricature
This work shows classic caricature for celebrety. Exagirated but still we able recognize the actress.
One more work for celbrity. Tony shows too much exacuration, but still with a popularity of Stallone we can easily recognize him.
This work is separated from others cause it's about the everyday work of artist. He got the great technique that he showed on celebreties and convert it for bussines with common people. On my opinion it has different level to work with real people.
