He examines what really makes a caricature successful, what to look for in a face, and how to draw it. Readers also learn how to apply this skill, whether it's drawing live, theme-park-style caricatures, or creating caricature for publication work. Loaded with everything from basic theories and drawing instruction to professional tips and tricks, this book contains something for novices and experts alike. "The Mad Art of Caricature!" is perhaps the most comprehensive and complete how-to guide on the art of caricature ever published. With over 500 illustrations, it's the definitive guide to the art of caricature. Review: Worth every penny - What can I say? I was looking for a book to give me a solid understanding of the art of drawing caricatures, and this book delivers on every front. I am looking to switch from traditional portraiture to something a little more fun, and can safely say that Tom Richmond has hit the nail on the head. The first thing to note is the quality of the book itself; nicely weighted glossy paper just full of high quality images with well formatted text. It may sound like an odd thing to say, but having bought many a reference/photography/illustrators book in the past, it's refreshing to see a book printed on quality paper and in colour. There are plenty of ways of drawing caricatures out there, but I found Tom's approach logical, educational and easy to follow. Be prepared to learn about the human face, its structure, all of the medical names etc - stick with it, as this is one of the most imortant lessons you need to grasp. Finally, it's just a fun book to flick through - there are some very funny caricatures in it! How can a book that has been so well put together not be inspirational? Thanks very much! Review: Absolutley Brilliant Book!! - Absolutley Brilliant Book for the niovice and expert alike. Tom Richmond is a truly amzing MAD caricaturist and the logic in which he explains his process is very good indeed. As a cartoonist myself, I can relate and thought that it would just be a book that I wanted on my bookshelf but on reading it and seeing the wonderful illustrative process now use some of the techniques and my work has improved and my prices for commissioned work has increased. Cool! A must for every artist!
