Bill created a fun and flattering caricature of a colleague who was retiring. The group loves the drawing so much that it became the theme of the retirement celebration. We can't wait to present it!

Report
I would highly recommend a caricature from Bill and Dori. Bill guided me through the process from beginning to the end. I sent in a request with my ideas and vision. After creating a preliminary sketch, they asked if I wanted any changes or if it was ok for a final. Once approved, they quickly completed my caricature knowing that I was on a time crunch. The finished product was perfect! The images I sent were reflected perfectly in the completed caricature. I would recommend caricature drawing. net! They are exceptional artists and wonderful to work with!
