Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.

Caricature on Silhouette Cutting?
That should be fun to do Silhouette Cutting in caricature way which exaggerating the feature of the side profile.
Now the problem came:
1. to do a nice exaggerated profile, the guest must be having strong features, because in the details within a human face’s silhouette there are limited portions of the face can be play around, there are only: the neck, the jaws, the mouth, the nose, the forehead and the hair style. Not like caricature drawing, you can play around the color, the shadings and etc.
2. Not much people know their own side profile well, just a normal portrait silhouette of the guest, they usually need their friends to confirm the silhouette cutting whether looks like them or not; if you wanted to do an exaggerated silhouette, you have to ensure your guests having the artistic eyes and feels as yours.
