Caricature

A caricature is a type of artwork or illustration that exaggerates or distorts certain features of a person's appearance to create a humorous or satirical effect. Artists use this technique to highlight distinctive traits—such as a prominent nose, large ears, or unique facial expressions—while still maintaining enough likeness for the person to be recognizable. Caricatures are often used in political cartoons, entertainment, and satire to comment on personalities, events, or societal issues with an element of humor or critique. The goal is to capture the essence of the individual in a playful, exaggerated way that engages viewers.
