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.

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 £30 with a 2 week turnaround time, these can be posted out anywhere in Europe, email me at elladesouza@outlook.com for more information.
