DON’T GO LOOKING FOR CARICATURE ARTISTS ONLINE.

If you want examples outside of the book, here are some real-life (not social media) ones:

• Marissa (Kaleidoscope)
• Jenni (Kaleidoscope)
• Allie (Kaleidoscope)

And some great examples from real life (that aren’t edited for social media)

• Caricature STL (black and white ones are great–look how fast and chaotic!)
• Skipper Art (20+ years experience, so this is not the bar to measure yourself!)
• Draw Like Crazy (lives ones, click “more” under the gallery)
• Funny Headz (cute that they look at each other!)
• Kurt Dreier (has a “gentle” and “not so gentle” mode, which isn’t required from you at all!)
