What does a caricaturist do at an event?

A caricaturist draws quick, playful portraits of guests, exaggerating features in a fun and flattering way. Each drawing takes a few minutes, and there is usually a small crowd watching, which makes it entertaining for everyone, not just the sitter.

Traditional caricaturists draw on paper with pens and markers. Digital caricaturists draw on a tablet, and the finished picture can be printed on site or sent to guests to share, often with your logo or event branding added.

Where it works best

  • Parisian themes

    A Montmartre street artist feel.

  • Brand activations

    Digital caricatures shared straight to social.

  • Birthdays

    A fun memento of the party.

  • Weddings

    A keepsake for every guest.

  • Corporate parties

    A personal take-home for the team.

  • Trade shows

    A queue at your stand with your logo on every drawing.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Set expectations on numbers

    Each drawing takes a few minutes, so not every guest may be drawn at a large event. We advise on how many artists you need.

  2. 2

    Give them good light

    A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.

  3. 3

    Choose paper or digital

    Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.
