Distance, Anchor and Pivot Points ¶
Face off-How to draw amazing caricatures & comic portraits-, Harry Hamernik, Impact, 2006, p. 26-29
What should you look for when drawing each feature? Here are two principles that will organize your thought process. Everyone has two eyes, but what makes one person's different from the next person's? It is the shape, angle and distance between them. The anchor and pivot point principle will help you place the feature on the caricuture more than the shape.
* Pinciple 1: Anchor and Pivot Points
Anchor points do not move, which is easy enough to remember. Pivot points move. Every feature of the face will have an anchor point and a pivot point. Anchor points are the center of the feature, and pivots are the edges of the feature.

* Principle 2: Distance
How far is one side from another? How far is one shape from another? The anchor and pivot points tell you how to draw the feature, and the distance tells you how far apart to place the features from one another.

- Caricature is defined as an exaggerated likeness of a person made by emphasizing all of the features that make the person different from everyone else. A lot of times, it is considered to be necessarily a graphic distortion of a face, but the essence of a caricature is exaggeration-not distortion.
