## About this style

Selective stretching and asymmetric contours emphasize distinctive proportions while preserving recognition. Elastic ink and light watercolor keep the humorous scene visually light.

Caricature selectively exaggerates identifying proportions while retaining other anchors of recognition.

An enlarged nose and chin can remain recognizable when eye spacing and hairstyle preserve the person's identity.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Selective exaggeration of distinctive features, hair or pose creates humorous proportions.

- **Landscape**: Characteristic roofs, landmarks or trees grow more extreme, giving the setting personality.

- **Object**: Handles, rims or length ratios become unusual while recognizable cues remain.

**Subjects**: Choose distinctive people, pets, buildings or objects and emphasize one main feature rather than distorting everything equally.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Redraw the image as elegant two-dimensional editorial caricature. Observe the distinctive proportions of existing shapes and selectively stretch, compress or introduce slight asymmetry. Elastic ink contours change width abruptly at turns, retaining major identifying outlines while abbreviating internal detail with a few witty strokes. Add light watercolor accents, exposed paper and a little bleeding. Let proportional rhythms, tilts and flowing line gestures create humor.
