There is such a market for caricature that a realistic rendering is never what I am asked to do.
When I did realistic color pastel portraits outdoors during my college years the guys who did the caricatures made the most money.

I did it at a summer festival for two years and worked for a company who paid the festival organizers a portion of what we earned. Our "boss" had 30 pastel artists and probably as many caricaturists set up all over the festival grounds.

I did make a pile of money, though ten portraits in ten hours got to be tiring. Though the slow days were even more tiring!
