ELI5: How are caricaturists able to reduce a complex human face to a simple drawing such that it is readily identifiable as the subject to others?

I'm always amazed out how a cartoon of a famous person can look uncannily like that person with just a few strokes of the pen/brush. Are there certain facial features that the brain looks for as a shortcut for identifying people?

Man, the brain is fine-tuned to look for faces and identify them. It's the reason people can look at like, electrical outlets or something, and see a face.

What caricaturists do is take the most easily identifiable parts of an individual face, and exaggerate them to crazy levels.
