Wedding and Couple Caricature

Caricature illustration of a bride and groom in their early thirties. Exaggeration: heads enlarged relative to bodies, expressions amplified, postures pushed into mid-laugh with foreheads almost touching — exaggerate proportion, expression and posture only, never ethnic features, and keep both skin tones natural and unaltered. Both faces must stay individually recognisable and, importantly, flattering: this is going on an invitation, so push the charm and the warmth rather than the flaws. Attire: an ivory A-line dress with lace detail and a navy three-piece suit, with fabric drawn as real cloth — the weight of the skirt, the break of the trouser, visible texture in lace or wool rather than flat printed colour. Shared detail that ties them together: their scruffy terrier wedged between their feet, looking up, drawn small and specific, the sort of thing only the two of them would notice. Setting: a simplified garden arch reduced to a few strong shapes, simplified into a few strong shapes so the couple stays dominant in the frame. Medium: pen and ink with a soft watercolour wash, confident varied line weight — heavy on the contours and where the two figures overlap, light inside the forms — flat shading rather than smooth gradients. Colors: blush, ivory and sage green. Composition: the two figures leaning into each other so their silhouette reads as one connected shape rather than two people standing side by side, generous clean space around them for text to sit later. Quality: high-resolution illustration, crisp fully-resolved linework, visible medium texture, warm and celebratory.
