MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Feb .. Caricatures are exagerations of the human form ... The larger head .. the big hands ... the big feet .. the eye's exaggerated .. but some caricatures are more lifelike then others .. Take Marks Santa's .. Their caricature .. but very lifelike in form ..

Sometimes just a little exaggeration compliments the piece ..

As far as character is concerned .. you probably see more of it in caricatures then you do in real life ..

Feb, I don't see why you'd feel stupid at all, that was actually a very insightful question!
