Live Caricature - Probably the Cutest Portraits in London

Through my art, I reveal human beauty in a playful way. My funny portraits incorporate the emotion and energy of the moment and are very popular at the events I'm invited to. Unlike classical caricatures, my portraits reveal a pleasant appearance, not ugliness and grotesque. The constant feedback I receive is: "I'm more beautiful in your drawing than in reality."

What to expect

Standard - A4&A3 Guests can choose from single portraits in A4 size (280 gsm cards, 200 gsm if had to be printed), delivered in clear protective sleeves, and double or multiple portraits in A3 size (250 gsm cards) delivered rolled and secured with rubber bands. The average is 10 - A4 size portraits per hour. Option - A5&A4 Must be requested prior to the booking Single portraits in A5 size (200 gsm cards) and double portraits in A4 size (200 gsm paper), delivered in transparent sleeves, are available also. A5-size caricatures can be easier to carry and slightly faster to draw. The artwork made with permanent black markers is defined by a strong clear line and has a clean, professional look, compared to drawings made in other media. The live caricature is a natural process and the maximum speed is acquired after the first few drawings. Also, the time for a portrait is related to the complexity of the model and how many details I need to add to the drawing (glasses, beards, etc.). Most often, my drawings take from 2 to 8 minutes, an average of 5 minutes per drawing. Including the gap between changing the models, it means around 10 drawings per hour. Still, as this is an artistic process, the figures are indicative, so, I can't guarantee an exact number of drawings. I focus on quality. Also, if for any reason I can't see my model's face, let's say you talk with somebody from behind you, this can increase the drawing time considerably. Kids Parties - Drawing the Innocence Kids are amazing models for cartoons. They understand and take my work very seriously. I have developed a poignant way of drawing children and have received wonderful feedback. I know I'm doing something special when they don't leave without telling me: "I want to draw like you!". Children must be supervised at all times during the drawing process. My work requires a high level of concentration and I can't always be aware of what's going on around me. Looking forward to your event, Silu.

FAQ

Q: How long does setup take? A: I arrive always at least 30 minutes / 1 hour earlier to discuss every detail and to be sure we can set up the event best way. My aim is to make your guests happy by drawing as many portraits as possible.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: For a successful live caricature event, it is necessary to have: 1. One chair for me and one for my model, or two if I have to draw couples. I use a very high level of pressure to achieve clear, precise lines for my drawing style and also for keeping high speed during the event I'll need at least one place to sit available at a dining chair height. I can move around the room with my drawing board everywhere there is a place to sit if necessary. 2. Having a small table is best to keep my paper and tools accessible on it and to present some drawings for your guests to understand what to expect. I don't need a table to draw, still, if there is no table, a stool, or anything like that, can be helpful, to keep my tools on it. 3.1 Indoor - Reasonable lighting in the drawing area, a place close to a window, or a source of light is best. Decent ambient lighting is okay as well, you have to be able to read a book without getting a headache. If the general light is drastically reduced during the event, for dancing for example, please ensure that the drawing area still has sufficient light, as I will be forced to stop until the light is restored or I find another place for drawing. 3.2 Outdoor (>18°C) - A shaded area is a must! Sunlight can be very powerful and its reflection on paper can make the drawing process very challenging or impossible. Also, there is no way to perform to the highest standards in the hot sun for hours. It is good to remember there can be a few other factors that can affect the drawing process or even make it impossible, like cold, I don't move my body for hours, wind, and humidity which can affect the paper quality.
