How to Make a Caricature?

Posted on December 7, 2008 at 2:30pm 0 Comments

Hey all,

A friend asked me how I make caricatures, and after some consideration, I wrote this long and rambly response, which is here:

Hey all,

We're moving to Guelph in the next couple months, and I'm curious to know if there're any/many puppeteers in Guelph. If you're out there, raise your hand!

Thanks!
