Black and white caricatures are typically done with pencils and markers, while colour caricatures require the use of coloured pencils or pastels. Some caricature artists may also use digital tools such as iPad tablets to create their artwork. Drawing caricatures with a computer can provide more control over the final outcome and the ability to add colour in a way that is not possible with traditional materials.

 

What type of paper do caricaturists use?

Most caricaturists use thick, heavyweight drawing paper. Using thicker paper ensures that the artwork has a professional finish and can be preserved for longer. Some caricature artists may also use digital tools such as iPads or computers to create their artwork, in which case they would not need to use paper at all.

• Product launches or special promotions

• Grand opening entertainment or store anniversary corporate events.
