About PhotoCaricatures Studio
We're a small studio of illustrators who specialize in custom character art. Every caricature starts with your photo and your story, and is digitally painted to order — never an automated filter or template.
We work from all kinds of source material, including old, faded, damaged, or black-and-white photos, and we take the time to read your notes on setting, activity, and expression so the finished piece actually feels like your idea. Once it's complete, you receive a high-quality digital file — yours to keep, print, or share however you like.
- Digitally painted to order, one scene at a time
- Built from your own photo(s) and your own description
- Delivered as a high-quality file that's yours to keep
