Caricature: A playful exaggeration-driven illustration style built on bold distortion of proportion that amplifies distinctive features for comedic and expressive impact, loose, confident linework capturing likeness through economical, energetic mark-making, light, quick shading applied to suggest form without slowing the gestural energy, an exuberant, larger-than-life comic timing embedded in every exaggerated feature, and a witty, high-energy sketch-illustration charm that celebrates personality over precision. Influenced by: classic caricature-illustration tradition, quick-sketch portraiture technique, satirical editorial illustration, gestural ink-and-wash caricature. Medium close-up of Thor the Norse warrior god.
