A caricature is a drawing or illustration that exaggerates certain features or characteristics of a person or subject for comic or satirical effect. This art form often highlights distinctive traits, such as facial features or expressions, to create a humorous or critical portrayal. Caricatures are commonly used in political cartoons, advertisements, and entertainment. Artists create caricatures by simplifying and distorting the subject's appearance while maintaining enough resemblance for recognition. This technique can be applied to various subjects, including celebrities, politicians, and everyday people. Caricatures serve as a playful way to comment on social issues or celebrate individuality.
