Taka Watanabe - Caricature Artist - Tokyo, Japan
Check out our Marilyn page! |
I was born in a very small city in Fukushima, which is northern part of Japan in 1981. I've liked to draw since I was a little child.
In a junior high and high school, I started to study art more seriously. As a result, I received several awards for my graphic designs.
After I graduated, I decided to go to a big art school in Tokyo. So, I moved there alone at the age of 16. I mainly studied graphic design there. After I graduated, I visited Kage Nakanishi, Artist Director of Central West, Inc to study caricatures.
I received hands-on training by him, and developed the technical skills involved with drawing and coloring with ArtStix in live caricatures.
Since then, I have drawn thousands of caricatures at parties, theme parks and shopping malls. When I draw, I always try bold caricatures: an exaggeration that has an impact.
