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.

There is much more to it than that, because it goes somewhere deeper, and it would make you restless. You would always end up feeling there is something missing. And that no matter how much you reward yourself with material things that your salary can allow you to buy, you still become unfulfilled at the end of the day.

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.

And that is kind of how people like you, otherwise known as caricaturist, see the world. You will be sure to feel that rare connection with an illustration you will see. You are bound to feel it, as an artist yourself. That is when you would know, that it is really indeed time to chase your passion, if you have not been there yet.

Only by exploring other areas about it, would you be learning other techniques, or be inclined to learn it, as it would be part of y our craft. While you get acquainted with the more traditional forms of art, you also come to know the better part of the artist inside you, more and more. Be free willing so that you can adopt develop your drawing style.

Later on, who knows, it would become something that would set you apart from the rest. Because artists most of the time prefers to have their own identity. Usually, they feel stripped of their own person if they cannot identify themselves individually or differently from the others. Being unique, you must have realized, is really necessary.

You continue to create art because you see beauty in it. You go with it anyway, sketch and paint some more, because all that really matters, is how you love it, enough to lose yourself in it. It becomes something more profound than money or any other joy in life would ever be, just because your very being cannot survive without it, so you have found out.
