Cartoon Caricature Avatar

Bold cartoon caricature illustration of a man in his mid-twenties with messy hair and round glasses, in the flat-colour animated-series style people use for profile pictures. Exaggeration: push proportion and expression well past realism — an oversized head on a small body, with wildly exaggerated hair volume and a huge grin — while keeping the face specific to this person rather than a generic cartoon type, which is the whole difficulty here. Exaggerate proportion, expression and posture only; never ethnic features, and keep skin tone natural. Line: a confident heavy outline around the silhouette with lighter interior lines, tapering where the form turns, in the clean inked style of a modern animated series. Shading: flat cel shading built from hard-edged shadow shapes, one shadow tone plus one highlight per colour area, and no soft airbrushed gradients anywhere. Eyes: wide and delighted, eyebrows high, drawn large and highly expressive with clean specular highlights, but with the eye spacing and shape kept individual to this face. Hair: rendered as distinct clumped masses with a strong readable silhouette, not as individual strands. Hands: drawn simply and correctly, four fingers and a thumb, in a clear readable gesture. Background: flat radiating speed lines in a single bold colour, drawn with playful perspective distortion so the space warps slightly toward the subject. Colors: bright saturated primaries with a teal accent, bright and saturated with clean graphic separation between areas. Composition: energetic and lively, subject dominating the frame, one strong diagonal running through the pose. Quality: high-resolution cartoon illustration, crisp fully-resolved linework, flat clean colour fills, comedic and warm in tone.
