I am looking for the one thing—a hobby, a prop, or a quirky expression—that makes the person who they are. Whether it is including a football for a guest at a corporate event or drawing traditional attire for a wedding portrait, that specific detail is what turns a quick sketch into a keepsake they will actually hold onto. ### How I Work I specialize in a playful 'Big Head, Small Body' style using archival ink markers and watercolor shades on textured paper. My goal is to capture your personality, not just your features. If I am sketching you live, I aim to be quick enough that you can get back to the party, but detailed enough that you walk away with something fun. ### Where I Can Help - **Live Events:** Weddings, birthdays, and corporate functions in Mumbai and across India. I set up a corner and sketch guests on the spot. Everyone gets to take home their own personalized drawing in a protective sleeve. - **Custom Gifts:** If you have a photo, I can turn it into a caricature. Whether it is a couple for an anniversary, a family portrait, or a pet sketch, I handle everything from the initial pencil draft for your approval to the final watercolor rendering. ### The Logistics I deliver all my custom work in a protective sleeve with hardboard backing so it does not bend. For framed options, I use standard black synthetic frames with glass or acrylic glazing. If you are booking me for an event, just let me know the guest count so I can ensure I have enough supplies to keep the sketches flowing throughout the party. ## About Joy of Caricature Hi, I am Abhishek. I have spent years perfecting the art of catching that split-second spark when someone sees their caricature for the first time. I do not believe in stiff portraits; I believe in quick, playful sketches that actually capture the fun of your event.
