Offering a uniquely fresh, accurate and flattering live drawing service, I can capture up to 10 likenesses an hour, working in a variety of materials. The most popular has been pen (very fast) and watercolour (very pretty), but I’ve also done events drawing portraits on an ipad and illustrated giant boards to record an evenings entertainment.
Live drawing can add something very special to an event, party or wedding, and not only will I create unique mementos for your guests to take home, but also provide entertainment for large groups as I’ve found people love to watch the live illustrations take shape as much as they love to be drawn. I like to show off a bit by working all the tones and colours in first before adding details, so watching the images take shape can be exciting in itself.
