Create Caricature Drawings from Photographs

Here are some interesting options if you want to make a caricature and can't afford the fees of a professional caricature artist:

Option A: Take your picture inside Photoshop (or Gimp), apply a couple of adjustments and filters as described at MacMerc.com and you may get pretty impressive results.

Option B: Convert your picture into a black-n-white pencil sketch using Dumpr.net (look at the girl's picture) and then paint this pencil sketch using ArtRage which is also free.


Option C: Magixl.com lets you draw caricature portraits of the human face - choose the type of jaws, skull, eyes, etc and your caricature sketch is ready in seconds.

Option D: Finally, if you have the inclination and the time, here's a good tutorial on how to draw your own caricatures.

None of above choices will match the results of a professional artist but they are still fun.
