We typically sketch 8-10 caricatures or 5-6 realistic portraits every hour, ensuring almost every guest gets a personal keepsake. Just provide two chairs, a 4x4 feet space, and we will bring the easel, lighting, and all art supplies to make it happen. We are not your typical agency artists. We started on the streets, sketching at India Gate, which taught us how to capture a likeness in minutes, not hours. That is why we can promise a 10-minute turnaround without sacrificing the soul of the portrait. ### Our Process When you hire us, you are getting more than just a drawing. You are getting entertainment. Whether it is a corporate dinner in Gurgaon or a birthday party in South Delhi, we set up a mobile station that draws a crowd. Guests love watching the lines form on paper, and the final piece serves as a memory they can take home. ### Choosing Your Style * **Live Caricatures:** These are playful, exaggerated, and meant to get people laughing. Perfect for office events, mixers, or any high-energy gathering where you want to break the ice. * **Realistic Portraits:** We use graphite shading to capture depth and emotion. These are classic, intimate, and work best for anniversaries or smaller family gatherings where guests have a bit more time to sit. ### Practical Details We travel across Delhi NCR, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. We bring everything needed, including protective sleeves for the finished sketches so they do not smudge. If you have over 100 guests, we recommend our dual-artist team package so we can keep the queue moving and ensure no one leaves empty-handed. ## About Umesh & Saroj Shah We are Umesh and Saroj Shah, a husband-and-wife team with 18 years of sketching behind us. We do not just draw; we capture memories on paper while you watch, whether that is at our spot at India Gate or your private party. For us, art is something you feel, not just something you hang on a wall.
