Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Cartoon Maker tool:
- Share the photo and describe the subject's most distinctive features and the desired tone — gentle and warm versus sharp and satirical.
- Run cartoon-maker with caricature and the style direction.
- Ask Claude to evaluate whether the exaggeration reads as 'this specific person' or generic distortion.
- Adjust the exaggeration direction or intensity until the caricature is recognizable and funny.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Cartoon Maker tool
Use cartoon-maker to create a warm, funny caricature of this photo — the subject has a great big beard and infectious grin, those should be the focal features. Friendly style, nothing mean. Tell me if the result is recognizably this person or just a generic cartoon.
Tips
- Identify the one or two features that make the person immediately recognizable — the caricature should exaggerate those specifically.
- Specify the tone carefully: 'warm and affectionate' versus 'sharp political satire' produces radically different results.
- Ask Claude whether a stranger would recognize the caricature as the same person from the source photo.
