A caricature will accentuate or exaggerate a person's feature(s) such as ears or a nose etc . . .

A good example of caricaturization would be a political cartoonist's illustration of politicians ; for example Pat Oliphant's or Ben Sargent's Cartoons as well as other cartoonists .

Caricatures are a drawing or painting, or even a sculpture, that looks like or represents a specific real person - but it's exaggerated or simplified to capture the persons looks or personality, and tens to be used for humor. They don't have to look like cartoons, but they usually do to some extent.
