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

Weddings
A keepsake for every guest.
Trade shows
A queue at your stand with your logo on every drawing.
Brand activations
Digital caricatures shared straight to social.
Birthdays
A fun memento of the party.
Parisian themes
A Montmartre street artist feel.
Corporate parties
A personal take-home for the team.

Tips from our team

1
Choose paper or digital
Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.
2
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.
3
Give them good light
A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.
