What is AI Caricature Prompt?

An AI caricature prompt asks an image model to exaggerate a person or character in a controlled way. A strong prompt describes the face shape, expression, job or hobby, outfit, props, background, line style, and the level of exaggeration. It should also say what to preserve, such as identity, hair, glasses, skin tone, or signature accessories. Avoid using protected characters or real public figures as the style target. The goal is a funny but recognizable portrait, not an offensive imitation.
