캐리커처는 초상화와 같이 한사람의 주요한 인상을 담아내려는 시도이다.(Berger, 1952; Rother, 1966)
이 논문에서는 두가지 실험에 의해 캐리커쳐에의해 사람들이 인지하는 얼굴에 대한 가설을 증명한다.

* Symbolic Caricature
심볼릭 캐리커처는 대상에 속한 어떤 묘사를 통해 대상의 아이덴티티가 도출된다.
처칠의 시가나 히틀러의 콧수염처럼 얼굴의 해부학적 구조에 의해서가 아니라 얼굴의 구분되는 특징에 의해 인지되는 경우는 아티스트의 주제에 대한 지식이 필요하다.
* Pictorial hyperbole
어떤 사람을 특징을 규명할 만큼 충분히 알려져 있지만, 대부분은 사실에 기인한 과장에 의해 형태를 상용화 시킨다. 이 경우는 두드러지는 얼굴의 형태를 그것의 과장된 형태로 대체한다. 이때 아티스트는 대상의 얼굴을 관찰하고 두드러지는 특징을 결정하고 과장한다.

이 연구의 고블린의 디자인적 특징은 Symbolic Caricature에 대한 연구로, 인물을 알아볼 수 있는 특징의 결정은 Pictorial Hyperbole을 연구로 기준을 삼아 진행될 것이다.

By Carl Hose

Caricature art has been popular at carnivals and in newspapers and magazines for decades. A caricature is an exaggerated representation of its subject matter, typically as a sketch, that accents certain physical or personality traits to create what is often a humorous or satirical piece of work. With the graphics software available today, creating caricatures on your computer is easier than ever, and a lot of fun.

Step1. Open your graphics software, go to the "File" menu and choose "New" to create a new blank document. Photoshop and GIMP are two popular graphics programs, both available for PC and Mac. GIMP is free. Either of these programs will work for drawing caricatures.

Step2. Use a reference photo of the subject you want to make into a caricature. Select the drawing tool and begin the outline of the subject you want to draw leaving areas you want to exaggerate blank. If you're going to expand the chin or forehead, leave those features blank until you have the rest of the outline finished. This allows you to proportion these feature appropriately.

Step3. Create a new layer from the "Layers" menu. This is like placing a transparent sheet over what you've already drawn. Drawing each element onto its own layer lets you remove only that layer if you make a mistake or want to make changes, leaving the rest of your caricature untouched. Draw the exaggerated features of the outline onto this new layer -- big chin, wide forehead or huge nose.

Step4. Create a new layer and do the facial features. Draw a few lines to give the face texture. You don't want to do too much detail here. It will take away from the exaggerated features. Do a little shading to bring out the eyebrows and nose, some color to add light points to the eyes, and lines around the mouth. Unless the facial details are part of the exaggeration, keep them to a minimum.

Step5. Sketch the hair onto your caricature. Pay attention to your subject's hair and use this feature to add to the exaggerated features of the drawing. If your subject has excessively curly hair or very thin hair, these are characteristics you want to emphasize.

Step6. Keep the body smaller than the head. This is a characteristic of caricatures. Think about how your subject dresses and exaggerate the style. If your subject has big biceps, exaggerate them in the body by making them out of proportion with the rest of the body.
