Hand-Drawn Realistic Cartoon Caricature

I’d like a large-format, hand-drawn and fully colored caricature of my face that will hang in my personal collection. The style should sit in that sweet spot between realism and cartoon—features clearly recognizable yet playfully amplified rather than wildly distorted.

Scene & mood
Picture me indoors: think a cozy studio or study background that adds warmth and context without stealing the spotlight from the face. Props or small details that hint at my hobbies are welcome if they don’t overcrowd the composition; otherwise keep the setting subtle.

Format & materials
• Final size anywhere in the A2–A1 range (roughly 16×24" to 24×33") so it can dominate a wall.
• Traditional media—ink, markers, watercolor, or colored pencil—works best; vivid, archival colors are a must so the original ages well.
• Along with the physical artwork, include a high-resolution scan (600 dpi or higher, TIFF or PNG) so I can create digital backups and smaller prints.

Workflow
1. Share a rough pencil sketch that captures likeness and composition.
2. One round of feedback on proportion and background elements.
3. Proceed to full color, then supply a snapshot for any minor color tweaks.
4. Ship the protected original and deliver the final scan via cloud link.

Acceptance criteria
• Likeness is immediately recognizable to friends and family.
• Clean, indoor background complements the subject; no blank white unless agreed.
• Scan is crisp, color-accurate, free of glare or shadows.
• Artwork arrives undamaged and matches the approved digital preview.

Timing is flexible within three weeks, but please outline your schedule so I can plan framing and display.
