Finding Beauty In A Caricature Artist

By Joseph Thompson


It is not about what you have got. It is more about what you make out of what you got. So goes the line at a third installment of a franchise film about dancing. The message says so much about skill and talent being put to good use. That it would be rendered useless, if you do not make something out of it.

Or when you would not want to stand up for it. That is what art is all about. And this is what caricature artist Sarasota should set out to do, just like any real artist would. True, these days, people would love it, if they can make a living out of something they love to do.

They say that some of the first caricatures goes as far back as the fifteenth century, drawn by Leonardo da Vinci. These days, it is becoming a popular form of art, even entertainment. What freedom it is to express yourself, and to be able to do what you love, without the worry of how much the paycheck would be.

Because that is what passion of doing something like this, entails. You scream for it, long for it, that you really become quite restless if you do not follow your heart in desiring this kind of art, or any form for that matter. It is simply not something you one just easily ignores.

These artists then have special skills that all it takes for them is take a quick look at a prominent person, a situation or a place. After which they would be able to create something exaggerated in highlighting their distinct traits. The goal and trick is to make the subject hilarious without being insulting and offensive.

Try to hone your art. Take that as the first step in embracing your talent, if you ave not done that yet. For example, try signing up for a painting course, or drawing. While you can have the advanced classes meant for caricature, it is better if you start with the basics and explore first.

While it can be fun and also fulfilling, it is not a career where you can expect to get high salary. This is why it is not for those who wish to get rich, but rather it is a dream chased only by the few who knows what it demands. Which is your heart and soul for it. Art, you see, is something you have to be in love with, so that you can bring yourself to pursue it.

When you thirst for it, know that you will not be rewarded with plenty of money, but you will survive. Know that you will have an even better reward in a sense of self fulfillment. That it would be something which can fill so many voids you thought existed. Sure, you may be misunderstood, often underrated. But that is not why you are doing it in the first place.

Only you can shape what you will turn out to be. And if being a full pledged caricature artist is one of them, then you can do that too. Know the tricks for those who makes their work known by showing them to the public. Be where people are, and sell your art, without having to explain yourself about it.
