30 Caricature Portraits Showing People In A Hilarious Way By This Artist
Interview With Artist
The art of caricature has been known for centuries. Funny portraits that focus on subjects' features, simplifying or exaggerating them, constitute a popular form of caricature. Sometimes, this type of drawing can make someone appear foolish due to the presentation of certain aspects of the person's appearance. Today, we would like to introduce you to the art of George G. Williams, whose caricature work is on another level.
The artist surprises strangers by creating hilarious portraits live during various events. Scroll down to see the best images we have curated for you. If you're curious to see even more caricatures by George, make sure to visit his Instagram account.

Bored Panda reached out to George to ask him some questions about his work. We wanted to know how the artist became interested in caricature first. Williams told us: “I’ve been drawing caricatures all my life, though did not know how to spell it until my university years.”
Asked when he decided to do it professionally, the artist answered: “I studied editorial caricature as part of my uni degree and hoped to be published, but the offer of cash for quick caricatures came first in 1991.”

Next, we wondered who was the subject of George’s first caricature portraits. The artist shared with us: “I drew teachers at school for cash and I guess they were acceptable.”
Williams also told us that he prefers working on his caricatures in real time, in the presence of the person he's portraying: “The interaction is great and having a three-dimensional model is essential. Photos give you a small two-dimensional pose of someone who usually wants to hide their personality, no truth to be found. That said, with famous figures, there is little choice, but a wide selection of photos to study from.”

??🤔?? I got some beer bratts in the frig....now I have a Sehnsucht, I wonder why. This caricature is so spot on.
We were also curious if the artist ever experienced any critique from a person who wasn't particularly happy with how their caricature turned out. George said: “When it comes to live drawings? ‘If you don’t like meat, don’t go to a butcher’ is my motto, so only ask an artist to draw you if you want to see through their eyes. Flattery is for selfies. The drawing is a reflection of you outside – your reaction is a reflection of you inside.”
Finally, the caricaturist shared with us the time it took to hone the skills he possesses now: “4 years at uni (foundation, then degree) studying illustration, then 32 years of developing.”

Aww this one's cute, they look like characters from a 90's Nickelodeon cartoon.

It's meant to make people laugh. I believe most of the people who sat down for their portraits knew what they were in for based on their laughter.

I like how they added the reflection on his bald head in the drawing.

Rude 😂 that's a very unflattering one. I know that's kind of the point but this one is particularly bad, he's not a bad looking chap!

The way they drew her nose piercing, makes it look like she has boogers dripping out.

This drawing is giving off the grandma from "The Proud Family" vibes.

This drawing does not do her any justice for her cuteness in person.

She's being such a good sport, considering the artist did her dirty with that nose.

This is almost Picasso like, where is the nose? If the oddly shaped head is supposed to be the nose, then how is the eye where it is?

She’s probably pregnant but we can’t see it in this pick with the black dress at this angle. Baby bump! Could be something else but that’s my guess!

I've always wanted to be able to draw in the caricature style, but I just can't. These are good and most of the people seem happy with them.
