FAQ
What Exactly is a Caricature?
A caricature is a drawing that slightly deviates from a normal portrait by emphasizing a person's physical features and personality. A caricature is always made in good spirit, and it's not intended to mock anyone.
How Long Does It Take to Complete a Drawing?
A good rule of thumb for completion time is about 4-7 days. Additionally, account for possible rounds of revisions, which usually take about 1-2 days. For urgent cases, it's possible to place an express order. Read more about express delivery here.
What is Needed From You?
We need at least one high-quality photo of the person in question and a description of them. Also, specify in the description what props you would like to be drawn in the artwork.
What Kind of Photos Work Best?
Since we draw based on the photo, it's crucial that the photo is as clear as possible. It's important that the photo closely resembles the subject; for example, if the person is usually smiling and laughing, a photo of them with a neutral expression might not be the best choice. Another key point is that the person's eyes are clearly visible. If the color of the eyes is not clearly visible in the photos, it should be mentioned in the description.
What Makes a Good Description of the Subject?
In the description, it's helpful to mention the subject's profession, hobbies, interests, or perhaps an important object or place that we can incorporate into the drawing. Mentioning the subject's preferred style of dress is also useful. If, for example, the subject does not wear shorts, then we won't draw them in shorts.
What Size is the Artwork?
The artworks are drawn digitally in approximately 4K resolution, so the image quality is sufficient for printing on large areas without any loss of quality. If you order the artwork framed, the image will be printed in A3 size and framed in black-edged frames.
Is the Artwork Painted or Printed?
We draw the images digitally with a drawing tablet. The caricatures are hand-drawn, not created with photo editing software effects. Corrections can be made to the artwork even after the image is completed when it's in digital form. Another advantage of a digital file is its versatility in use. You can print it on paper and frame it, use it as an illustration on a mug, or set it as your computer's wallpaper. The only limit is your imagination!
What If the Person Is Not Recognizable from the Artwork?
If this unfortunate event occurs, don't worry! We offer the opportunity to modify the artwork free of charge. Based on your feedback, we will make corrections until you are satisfied with the final piece. Remember, the caricature is always drawn based on the photos you send us. The outcome greatly depends on how closely the photos resemble the subject.
For What Occasions Is a Caricature Suitable as a Gift?
A caricature drawing is an excellent gift for a 50th birthday, 60th birthday, or even as a farewell gift for a colleague. The artworks are also very popular as corporate gifts. Depending on the character and values of the subject, a drawing can be a fantastic idea for a graduation gift. Artworks are also often given as wedding gifts or simply to decorate a couple's wall. Caricatures are perfectly suited for celebrating all major and significant anniversaries, such as milestone birthdays.
