    It helps to develop a strong sense of human anatomy so that you can build your caricatures from a realistic base. Try looking at pictures of people with interesting features, whether they’re celebrities, people in ads, or just random headshots you’ve found. Practice sketching the faces realistically, then look for ways to exaggerate the most distinctive features. Play around until you develop a style you like!
