Cartoon vs. Illustration

Blomfield receives many different commission briefs and some require a specific style. It is important to understand the difference between an illustration and a cartoon.

A cartoon uses bolder and simpler lines, exaggerating in a humorous way features and proportions.

An illustration is a more realistic rendering but with course line work and is particularly relevant to commercial jobs (eg. logos, icons, corporate characters)

Live caricatures

When doing live caricatures, Darren engages with each person to make them feel comfortable sharing more about themselves. Darren asks each person to talk about their interests, their loves and the places that are the most special to them. When sharing these details, something beautiful and candid happens – people’s eyes light up, and their face breaks into a genuine smile. Darren highlights and exaggerates these unique facial characteristics – the laughter lines, the dominant features and the personalities behind them – forever captured in ink. 

Montage cartoons & commissioned pieces

By collecting anecdotes and photos of a person, group or family, Darren can create one-of-a-kind montage cartoons of your teammates or loved ones. Share with Darren the interests, the special moments, and the significant belongings and places that make up the people you want cartooned, and Darren will do the rest.
