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

  • Corporate parties

    A personal take-home for the team.

  • Birthdays

    A fun memento of the party.

  • Parisian themes

    A Montmartre street artist feel.

  • Trade shows

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

  • Weddings

    A keepsake for every guest.

  • Brand activations

    Digital caricatures shared straight to social.

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.

Do venues around Walthamstow have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do caricaturists cost in Walthamstow?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

How many guests can a caricaturist draw?

It depends on the style and the time booked. Tell us your numbers and we will advise on one artist or more.
