About Live Artist for Events
Why We Sketch Live
I’ve spent 18 years perfecting the art of creating detailed sketches in just 10 minutes. It’s not magic, just a lot of practice and patience. When you see me sketch at your event, you’re seeing all those years in every line.
What We Offer
We bring live drawing entertainment to your party, so guests get more than just a regular gift. Watching a sketch come alive is fun, and everyone leaves with a personal keepsake. You can pick the style that suits your event:
- Realistic live portrait sketches - classic, emotional, and done in black-and-white with pencil and charcoal.
- Event caricature artist - playful, exaggerated, and sure to get people laughing.
How We Work
Both me and Saroj, my wife, sketch from the heart. For us, art is meant to be felt, not just seen. We set up a small art station at your venue, anywhere in Delhi NCR or nearby. Guests sit for a few minutes, and walk away with their own quick sketch artist for parties - simple, smooth, and memorable.
Where You’ll Find Us
We’ve sketched at birthdays, anniversaries, corporate dinners, festivals like Dilli Haat, and even media events. If you want personalized art party favour that’s real and heartfelt, we’re here.
Jo bhi karte hain, dil se karte hain. (Whatever we do, we do it from the heart.)

My Story

Hum dono kalakaar, dil se. 18 saal se sketch bana rahe hain, logon ki muskurahat hamari asli kamai hai. Kabhi log kehte hain, 10 minute mein sketch?
