Live portrait illustration
I am a live event illustrator specialising in creating expressive, charming portraits of guests and event attendees. I can create portraits of people (and animals) in as little as 5 minutes. although my most popular live portrait option is 10-15 minute portraits as these allow me to capture more detail. I usually like to use a mixed media approach using materials such as watercolour, ink and markers.
FAQs
Where can I use live illustration?
Live portrait illustration is a great way to keep people engaged, to make your event memorable and the portraits make excellent keepsakes. It is a great addition to weddings, parties, brand events and community events.
How much do you charge?
I charge £125 per hour and will provide materials. I just need a table and a chair!
Can you personalise your drawings for my brand?
Yes! I’m happy to create drawings on branded or coloured paper or in your brand colours. I can also scan portraits before they’re given to the sitter for you to use on your social media channels (this adds approx 5 minutes).
Do you only do portraits at events?
Although I specialise in portraits, I can attend parties and events to draw crowds of people, details and the setting - these drawings are excellent for use in marketing and for social media and work well at launch events.
I’d like a portrait but not for an event
I also do portrait commissions for £25 with a 1 week turnaround time, these can be posted out anywhere in Europe, email me at elladesouza@outlook.com for more information.
