Caricatures by Lou
Overview
VIRTUAL PARTY CARICATURES NOW AVAILABLE: While social distancing, every special occasion deserves a celebration and virtual parties make it possible! All you’ll need is a device like a laptop, desktop, or tablet with Zoom installed or if it’s an Apple product, I can use Facetime as well.
How it works is that each person will show me their face for a few minutes as I draw them on an iPad. They can see me and I’ll chat with them while I’m drawing. After finishing the drawing I’ll show them their fun caricature.
After the event, I’ll upload the drawings so guests can download their caricatures.
So, that’s how it works. Let me know if you have any questions!

ABOUT LOU'S CARICATURE STYLE

Lou resides in Seattle, Washington, where he manages his own caricature entertainment company. He also is a freelance illustrator.
He loves to entertain people with his talent and continues his dedication towards crafting quality caricatures, one face at a time.
