Benzza I do not know this book, I do not think if have it. Where is it, do you have a link? I am a caricature book junkie. I would like to look into it. I will take this post and share two sources everyone here should get. One is Keelan Parham's book on caricatures. It will help all those who are new with drawing caricatures and it's good to read about from someone who has some wise tips on the dealings of drawing live. it's good to have even if you have been drawing for awhile. Here is the link: www.caricatureconnection.com/book.htmI met Keelan and he is a great guy, and very skilled. Now the other is a magzine 'Car-i-ca-ture'. The Magazine about the Finer points of Caricature Illustration and published 6 times a year. I just got mine and they are more that great! Well worth the money. The link: www.kheenproductions.com/magazine.htmI know you all will enjoy these.  Mike |

I do have that book and it is very good. It's written by Alex Hughes whose story is typical. He learned to draw caricatures in school during math, english etc. The book is really great and a bit different from the others. It's one of the few caricature books I have read all the way through. If you want to learn to draw studio caricatures, this is a great book. If you want to draw live, you need Keelan's book.
I am also a caricature (and art) book junkie. These are just my opinions. I think everyone should have Keelan's book, Mauri's manual and a subscription to car-i-ca-ture magazine. Not to mention, a member ship at NCN. You can't beat Exaggerated Features! and now it's even in a friendlier format.
