He takes the reader on an artistic journey, examining what really makes a caricature successful, what to look for in a face, and how to draw it. You will also learn how to apply this skill, whether it's drawing live, theme-park-style caricatures, or creating caricature for publication work. Loaded with everything from basic theories and drawing instruction to professional tips and tricks, this book contains something for novices and experts alike.
The Mad Art of Caricature! is perhaps the most comprehensive and complete how-to guide on the art of caricature ever published. With over 500 illustrations, it's the definitive guide to the art of caricature.
This master class of a book unlocks the secrets of the caricaturist's unholy craft, rendering them so simple to grasp that any idiot can soon be drawing just like Tom Richmond, assuming, of course, that the idiot is as fabulously talented as Tom Richmond. Good luck with that.
GARRY TRUDEAU, creator of Doonesbury
Learning to draw is a challenge. Having lessons before you from a Master will smooth the road and define the way. Tom Richmond is a blowtorch of caricature genius with the drawing touch of a Holbein. You've come to the right place.
C.F. PAYNE, caricature illustrator, painter and MAD Magazine cover artist
Tom Richmond is a very fine artist and his caricatures are wonderful. Anyone who enjoys the art of caricature will want to read this book and see his excellent artwork. They would be interested in how he thinks, what he looks for in the face, how he sees the people he draws, and what makes them unique.
MORT DRUCKER, MAD Magazine caricaturist, cartoonist and illustrator
This is easily one of the most comprehensive, enlightening and provocative books on the art of caricature that s ever been written from what the author tells me. I hope to read it someday.
WEIRD AL YANKOVIC, famously weird musician and songwriter
As a cartoonist, I can write humor and draw funny but when it comes to good caricatures, that is hard! I wish I could have had Tom's book earlier in my career.
SERGIO ARAGONES, MAD Magazine cartoonist and creator of Groo The Wanderer
After studying Tom's great book, I am now going to try charging $800 per smiley face.... More if I color it in.
JEFF DUNHAM, superstar comedian and ventriloquist
The Mad Art of Caricature! has quickly become the gold standard in the examination and instruction of the art form.

{PRETITLE} The Mad Art of Caricature!: A Serious Guide to Drawing Funny Faces {POSTTITLE}
Tom Richmond's book is a must-have for anyone aspiring to draw recognizable caricatures, whether in a live situation or in a studio from photos. It illustrates a multitude of concepts both visually and verbally, with example after example of almost every facial minutiae there is! As a fifteen-year veteran of live caricature work, I learned both new ideas (constant lines of force) from this book, and also found things I knew (such as sequencing) explained more articulately and in-depth than anywhere else. The in-your-face illustrations are both amusing and educational when aligned with the text. Newbie mistakes to avoid are also mentioned. This book will pay for itself if making money is your goal...if it isn't, your result will be the pleasure of creating a well-crafted caricature.By Emartiste
I was really searching for such a book, that exactly gave me what I wanted.By freakdave
I bumped into Tom Richmonds book and WebSite, when I was searching for support to re-activate my sleeping talent of drawing. I can tell you, it really woke me up!
After watching the review on YouTube, it was clear, that I need this book.
It took some weeks to get it to Germany, but the bigger was the fun and happyness when I had it in the mail and in my hands.
Beneath its excellent drawings of well known artists and other VIP's it provides simple descriptions and hints how to draw a charicature. Step by step, Tom gives an analytical view on all parts of the humans face and the typical features that makes a face unique. He gives out a set of rules and tools on drawing charicatures, that will keep you well equiped to start your hobby or improve your drawing skills.
It is so motivating, that you really will feel pain if pencil and paper is out of reach. If drawing addiction is not a desease yet, this book could create it.
The book lays open all the secrets about caricature drawing and gives you the right key to the door. You just need to learn how to handle it ... practice, practice, practice ... that is the only thing the book can't give.
Even if you are not a graphical artist, this book is a peace of art and worth to buy.
By the way, I have ordered two copies to be on the save side ... GERMAN ANGST ;-)
