About Caricature Academy
Members get step-by-step online caricature courses, beginner lessons, creative drawing challenges and bonus material, along with a community of artists for interaction and support.[1] The lessons are meant for both traditional and digital drawing.[1]
Rampton's own website sells an online caricature course with lifetime access for all skill levels, and a companion course on drawing pets that can be bundled with it.[3] The site also points to a YouTube channel where Rampton draws celebrities, and to a free fan club.[3] Rampton also creates caricatures and illustrations for small business owners, has illustrated picture books since 2020 and has worked as a freelance graphic designer since 2000.[2]
