Steve Nyman Is a Well-Seasoned Caricature Artist

Have you ever been to a theme park or wedding, and you come across an artist drawing cartoon caricatures of peoples’ faces? It’s pretty much a mainstay at most amusement parks, providing a fun distraction from the roller coasters or merry-go-rounds. Steve Nyman is one of these artists, and judging by the pictures he posts on his Instagram feed, he’s an absolute natural.

It doesn’t take long to see that Nyman is a consummate professional. On his profile, he offers his services for “party sketch entertainment, Ipad digital caricatures, traditional caricature, trade shows, weddings, and virtual zoom meetings.” With a following of over 2,500 people, he’s marketing himself well and has the support to back it up.

It’s clear to everyone why his followers keep coming back for more. His work is skillfully accurate and relentlessly quirky in all of the best ways. He gives you the confidence that if you were to sit in front of him and have a portrait drawn of yourself, it would look pretty darn good.

This brings us back to the whole amusement park thing. It’s always exciting to see these cartoonists drawing people on the street, but very rarely do we hear about who they are as artists. Nyman is a great example of one, and he deserves all the props in the world.
