Caricature

​

What do I need to provide the artist with?

The artist will require 1 desk and 1 chair in a well lit environment.

How fast can each caricature be drawn?

It takes about two minutes to draw one person. Depending on the type of event, our artist can cruise through 15 to 20 people in an hour. For colored portraits it takes about 3 to 4 minutes. For colouring or upgrading to A3 size black and white, the quantity will be reduced to approx 12 - 15 pieces per hour.

Can you draw us in a group?

Give us a notice and this can be done! Group takes longer to draw as compared to singles or couples, and are best commissioned beforehand.

Will you draw everyone at the event?

It's a spectacle for onlookers, so typically we don’t draw everyone. From our experience only around 50% of guests will want to be drawn, the rest just enjoy watching. But hey, if all your guest are game and if time permits, why not?

Do you draw digitally, on tablets?

Our artist works regularly on an iPad/ tablets, which are excellent at exhibitions - under our iPad caricature, we bring along a printer that prints postcard size 4 inch x 6 inch caricatures on the spot for you.

Can you draw from photos?

We certainly can, but live models are preferred. Caricaturists styles across a broad spectrum from mild, portrait-like to wildly exaggerated. Guests generally prefer mild than wild and most of our Singaporean crowd likes their caricatures to be close to portrait drawing.

For digital commissioned works - what kind of photographs do you need?

Sharp, clear, good lighting, and smiling/expressive photos are most preferred. An expressionless face makes it tough to draw (unless you are a fan of poker face). Usually at least 2 to 3 shots of the person will be great. Please send photos of at least 500MB in size and 200 - 300dpi in resolution.
