I've picked out a few of my favourite moments to show what I do best. Whether it's families, pets, or just friends hanging out, seeing these smiles is exactly why I love sketching live... ✨

This is one of my favorite moments ever, sketching Mathew sir with his adorable pups, Nino and Bailey. Seeing the dog's reaction to his own portrait was just the best, a perfect example of the fun we have during a live pet caricature session.

Nothing beats the energy of a big group of friends. I had so much fun capturing the personalities of this whole crew in one big group caricature, which makes for an amazing keepsake from a party or corporate get together.

Meet Besant and Simmy, a super cute duo all the way from Kashmir. I love creating couple caricatures that capture that special something between two people, making for a unique and personal memento.

Look at these two brothers. Sketching for kidoos is always a blast, and their expressions when they see their cartoon selves are just priceless. This is what makes birthday parties and family events so special.

I had the most amazing conversation with Arun sir, who is 80 years young and a total kid at heart. It's a blessing to meet such dynamic people and capture their spirit in a timeless pencil sketch.

Here's a close up of the art, showing the hand drawn details of a classic black and white caricature. I focus on capturing a fun likeness and key features, like the cap and sunglasses, to make each sketch unique.

I was so honored to sketch Dr. Jyothi, a senior doctor from the army with 45 years of experience. It's incredible to meet and draw people from all walks of life, especially those who have served our country.

Capturing the talented singer Kimberly at a Bangalore habba was amazing. My live caricature station is perfect for festivals and public events, adding a touch of interactive art and entertainment to the buzz.

Here's a look at some of my work displayed on a wall. It shows the variety of faces I get to draw, from solo portraits and couples to even a cute puppy, all done in my signature hand drawn style.

The reaction is my favorite part. This video captures that "wow" moment when two friends see their caricature for the first time. It's all about creating a fun, shared experience.

About Featured

Every event feels like a mini-show because I love chatting while I sketch. You’ll find me with my portable clipboard, turning guests into cartoons in just 4 to 6 minutes. It’s not just about the drawing—it’s about the laughter and the stories we share while the ink dries on the paper... and seeing that 'wow' reaction when they hold their portrait is honestly the best part 💗.

When I set up my station, the goal is always to bring a bit of joy to the room. I don't just draw; I try to catch the personality behind the face. Whether I’m at a bustling Bangalore habba or an intimate family birthday, the process is simple and fun. I work with graphite on standard A4 bond paper, sketching everyone from tiny kidoos to energetic souls like 80-year-old Arun sir... and yes, I even sketch furry friends!

If you're planning an event, I just need two chairs and a well-lit spot. I usually manage 10-15 faces per hour, which is perfect for keeping things moving without rushing the fun. For larger corporate gigs or weddings, I can speed it up to 18 faces and provide protective sleeves for a polished finish. No digital tricks here, just 100% hand-drawn art that your guests can take home immediately. Let's make your next celebration a little more special... can't wait to sketch for you!
