Tom’s Daily Coronacature- Cardi B!

Here’s my take on Cardi B.

I’m not very familiar with her, having barely seen any video of her performing, so I did this caricature based almost soley on the static pictures I looked up. That is usually not a recipe for a good caricature. You need to have some sense of the subject in motion and as a person, not just a series of images. Photos are often distorted, touched up, or can be at weird angles or taken at an odd moment, and might not give you an accurate representation of the subject.

Looking at Cardi B, she has fairly small eyes, and they seem close together because she has a long, narrow nose. Her crazy false eyelashes and the painted upper lid add to this effect. She has very full lips, and high, dark, and fairly thick eyebrows. Partly it’s this hairstyle, with the hair tight against her skull and the weight of it pulling down as it cascades down her back, but she has a small forehead and cranial mass.
