Why it's trending
A friendly caricature sums up a person at a glance and makes people smile. It works as a profile picture, a farewell card or a gift for a friend's birthday.
How to make it
- Pick a clear photo of the face, taken from the front in good light.
- Choose a prompt above and add the hobby, job or items in Customise.
- Copy the prompt, open ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, upload the photo and paste it.
- Check that the person is recognisable and the drawing feels kind.
Tips
- Name two or three specific items, such as a tabla, a stack of files or a cup of filter coffee.
- Ask for exaggeration of the smile or hair, not of body size or skin colour.
- If the drawing feels mean, ask for a softer, more flattering style.
- A plain background helps the person and props stand out.
Use photos with care
Use only your own photo, or photos of people who have agreed and would enjoy the result. Keep caricatures kind: do not exaggerate features to mock someone's body, skin colour, disability or background. No brands or logos in the drawing.
Questions
Can I make a caricature to tease a friend?
Only if they agree and would find it funny too. The prompts are written to be warm and flattering, not insulting.
What gets exaggerated?
Mainly the head size and the smile, with small cartoon bodies. Ask for less exaggeration if you want it closer to a portrait.
Can I use a group photo?
Yes. Two of the prompts are written for a couple or a family.
