Portraits & Caricatures Quality Control & Assurance 2

Question 1

When reviewing a finished portrait, which flaw is most likely to break the likeness even if all other elements are accurate?

Accepted Answer

Misaligned eye spacing relative to the face width

Eye spacing is a primary anchor for facial recognition, and even subtle misalignment destroys likeness.

Question 2

A client receives a caricature and says the exaggeration feels 'random.' What quality assurance step was most likely skipped?

Accepted Answer

Identifying and amplifying the subject's most distinctive features before drawing

Answer

Effective caricature exaggeration must be anchored to the subject's actual defining characteristics, not applied arbitrarily.

Question 3

Which method best helps an artist catch proportion errors in a portrait during the drafting stage?

Accepted Answer

Flipping the image horizontally to view it fresh

Answer

Flipping the canvas horizontally reveals proportion errors that the brain normalizes when always viewing from one direction.

Question 4

A digital portrait artist is doing a final QC pass. Which tool is most useful for checking that facial features are symmetrically placed where intended?

A grid or guide overlay

Answer

Grid overlays provide objective reference lines to verify placement and symmetry of facial features.

Question 5

In caricature quality review, what does checking 'readability at a glance' mean?

Answer

A successful caricature should communicate the subject's identity instantly, even from a distance or at reduced size.
