A caricature prompt that keeps you recognizable
The trick with caricature is choosing what to exaggerate. The prompt below names a few traits to enlarge and a few to leave alone, so the drawing is funny and still looks like the person who sent the photo.

Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Draw a friendly caricature of the person in the attached photo. Exaggerate the smile and hairstyle while keeping the face unmistakably recognizable. Large head, small body, bold ink outlines, vivid flat colors, plain light background. Humorous but kind. No text.
How caricature differs from a cartoon
A cartoon simplifies. A caricature amplifies the traits that make a face distinctive: a wide grin, strong eyebrows, a tall forehead. Big head, small body is the classic proportion. If you mention a profession or hobby the model adds a visual gag, which is what makes people share the result. Add an adjective for tone, such as gentle or cheeky.
Good occasions
Farewell gifts, team posters, a toast at a birthday, a custom mug design. Show it to the subject before posting publicly, since some people prefer to stay out of exaggerated pictures. Group caricatures need a different approach: give each person one defining trait and one prop, then describe the scene so the model has a clear plan for who stands where. Keep the background simple. A flat color lets the exaggerated faces carry the humor, and it makes the finished picture easy to crop, print or turn into a sticker.
Tips
- Pick two features to exaggerate, such as smile and hair.
- A prop tied to a hobby makes the joke land.
- Say 'friendly' so the tone stays kind.
- Give a clean background so the head stays the hero.
Questions and answers
Will the likeness be kept?
Mostly. Features are stretched and never replaced.
Can I do a couple or a team?
Two people work well, larger groups get cramped.
Can I print on a mug or shirt?
You can print the image, but check that the print service accepts your file size.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 49 Telegram Stars and credits do not expire.
Does the bot work in English?
Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
- Works from one photo. Likeness depends on the photo you send, and some styles change features more than others.
- Does not make video or animation.
- Does not output a transparent PNG.
- Does not retouch passport or ID photos.
