Caricaturing is a fun job. I did it last year for a little bit, although not many people wanted me to draw them D: It did get me back into drawing regularly after like a decade of non drawing. Hopefully unlike me, you have someone whos a senior caricature artist that can guide you. They kind of just threw me out there so I had to wing. It was pretty rough for a while.
A few nuggets of wisdom I learned: guys want to look cool, girls want to look cute and old people want to look wise. Also if you have to draw a girl who is not exactly conventionally attractive draw their eyes really pretty and dont worry about making them self conscious about having crooked teeth or a big nose. And oddly enough people dont care as much about the drawing as they care about the experience of having you draw them. So try to be confident, smile and interact with them as much as you can.
