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.
