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

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

Tips from our team

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