About Live Event Sketching
Turning Moments Into Art
I sketch what I see and feel, right there in the middle of your celebration. I’ve spent years drawing Mumbai’s daily scenes, and now I bring that energy to events - weddings, birthdays, baby showers, all of it. You’ll spot me with my sketchbook, catching the small smiles and big laughs before they slip away.
What Happens At Your Event
I set up a small art spot and offer on-the-spot portrait artist sessions. Guests watch the magic happen and, if they want, sit with me for their own quick watercolor sketches. It’s interactive event entertainment, so people chat, get curious, and walk away with hand-drawn party favors (yaadgaar cheez - memorable thing). The sketches aren’t just faces - they’re little stories from your day.
My Style
I’m not about photo-perfect copies. I go for personality, using watercolors, ink, and pencil. Fast strokes, expressive lines - that’s my thing. Each personalized keepsake drawing is unique and captures a real moment.
Perfect For Any Occasion
Weddings, receptions, baby showers, birthdays, corporate gatherings - basically any celebration that could use a fun, creative twist. If you want your event to have a personal touch and some mazza (fun), I’m here for it.

My Story
Hi, I’m Divya. Mumbai’s my home, my inspiration, and sometimes, my muse for midnight sketching sprees. I find joy in sketching old Wada pav stalls, chatting with Sanjay bhaiya at the bhel puri cart, and sharing my art with the folks who make this city feel like a big family. It's the same faces, same places, and that’s what I love – little slices of happiness that never change.
