Are caricatures in magazines not hand-drawn these days?

Asked by albert_e (529points) August 20th, 2010

I noticed some caricatures in a national magazine today and wondered if they were indeed drawn by hand from scratch, or the artist actually started with a photograph of the subject and used some software tools to make a caricature out of it.

Is this a common practice?

If it is, what is the point – I felt such illustrations have less artistic merit than the hand-drawn ones. What is your opinion?
