Caricature Commission Brief

(Retirement · Leaving · Birthday Cards)

Thank you for commissioning a personalised caricature!
To create something meaningful and accurate, please send the following by email:

What I Need From You

1. A Good Headshot

  • Clear, high-resolution image

  • Facing forward or slight angle

  • No heavy shadows, extreme lighting, or blur

  • Natural expression (a smile works great!)

2. Personal Details & Ideas
Please include a few key details to inspire the illustration, such as:

  • Job role or career highlights

  • Hobbies or passions

  • Funny habits or memorable stories

  • Future plans (retirement dreams, new job, travel, etc.)

  • Personality traits (serious, fun-loving, sporty, glamorous, etc.)

The more specific the details, the more personal and creative the result will be.

3. References to Include (if any)
Let me know if you’d like specific elements featured:

  • Company logos

  • Uniforms or workwear

  • Sports kits

  • Landmarks or locations

  • Tools of the trade

  • Inside jokes

  • Favourite objects (car, pet, golf clubs, wine, etc.)

The Process

  • I will create and email a JPEG sketch (A3 size) for your approval.

  • You can request reasonable tweaks at this stage.

  • Once approved, I will complete and colour the final artwork.

Final Artwork Delivery

  • You will receive a high-resolution A3 JPEG file.

  • This can be printed at a local high street printer for just a few pounds.

  • Simply frame it for a thoughtful and unique gift.
