Published in 2011, this book is perhaps the most comprehensive and complete how-to guide on the art of caricature ever published. It begins with basic caricature theory, head shape, features and then goes beyond the face to discuss neck, shoulders, hands, bodies, etc. Richmond also delves into drawing live caricatures, caricature in illustration and ends with caricatures in Mad Magazine.
