Rules For Drawing Caricaturas: With An Essay On Comic Painting
Rules for Drawing Caricaturas, published in London in 1795 by Francis Grose, is a treatise on comic drawing aimed at amateur artists learning to exaggerate faces and figures. Its pictures include rows of stacked caricatured heads in profile, a schematic face showing how to place eyes and nose, and a full-length portrait of a stout man with a cane. A designer might take from them the method of building exaggerated features from simple guiding lines and the economy of hatched pen work.
