My setup is entirely self-contained; I just need a 4x4 ft footprint and two chairs to get started, so I can focus entirely on engaging with your guests rather than worrying about logistics. ### How the Magic Happens When I arrive at an event, the first step is setting up my station to be as inviting as possible. For traditional paper sketches, I use a portable easel, clip-on LED lighting, and high-quality cartridge paper. I work with bold markers for the initial outline, followed by water-based shading to bring depth to the caricature. Because I work in real-time, the key is keeping the energy high—I talk with the person I am sketching, keeping the vibe fun so the final result reflects their personality. ### Traditional vs. Digital If you prefer a modern setup, I switch to my digital workflow. Using an iPad Pro, I sketch directly onto the screen, which can be mirrored to a monitor or TV so the audience can watch the drawing unfold in real-time. This is a massive hit at trade shows and corporate gatherings because it turns the act of creation into a spectator event. Plus, I manage a compact printer on-site, so guests walk away with a high-quality 4x6 glossy print in seconds. ### Setting the Scene No matter the style, my goal is to blend into your venue seamlessly. I handle all the material logistics—from protective sleeves for paper sketches to the digital file management for social media sharing. All I ask from the venue is a small corner with good lighting and, ideally, a spot where guests can gather comfortably. Whether you are hosting a wedding in Mumbai or a corporate event across India, my process is designed to be low-maintenance for you and high-entertainment for your guests. ## About Dhruv Pal I'm Dhruv.
