Caricatures in illustrator

[Rikki]

Hi!
A client wants me to take regular pictures of people and trace it in illustrator to turn it into a basic “caricature” or drawing of the person…
Anyone have any experience in this? Is there any easier way to do it than to actually draw it out?
Thanks!

You can try looking for a filter-- that would be in photoshop
or possibly a graphic style

Ive done it be4, I really dont remember how. I watched a video on youtube, Its really a cool feature to be able to do, see attached the original image and the drawn one, for example of what you can do.
