Question 1

How long does a sketch take?

Accepted Answer

Each person takes me roughly 5 minutes to illustrate!

Question 2

What art supplies do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use copic markers, micron pens, colored pencils, and gel pens! Using markers means live sketches don't require any drying time

Question 3

What size paper do you draw on?

Accepted Answer

All live guest illustration are drawn on 7x10" paper unless otherwise requested

Question 4

What does your station look like?

Accepted Answer

I ask that the venue provide a 5-6ft table and chairs for me to use! This ensures that my station is cohesive with the rest of your reception design. I provide my own wireless lighting but any additional lighting is always helpful! It's normal for a crowd to gather so plan to have me in a visible yet spacious location

Question 5

Do you travel for events?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I am based in Savannah, GA but I am open for travel if my schedule allows for it. Weddings and events that are more than 2 hours from Savannah will have travel fees involved

Question 6

Can I customize paper for my event?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can add your name, wedding date, design elements etc. to paper for live guest illustrations. There will be a design and printing fee when adding customization to your paper

Question 7

Will every guest get an illustration?

Accepted Answer

A lot depends here! How long you book for and how many guests you have will effect the amount of people I can sketch. Larger events usually require booking additional studio time if you want every person who wants a sketch to recieve one

Question 8

I have a large guest list, how can I make sure everyone receives an illustration?

Accepted Answer

One option is to include live guest illustration at your rehearsal dinner in addition to your reception. Another option is to book studio time where I can complete more guest drawings from home. Any drawings completed at home will be mailed to the client to distribute to guests.

Question 9

What if the couple getting married doesn't have time to be drawn at the wedding?

Accepted Answer

They will still receive artwork after the wedding! I include a detailed 11x14'' detailed custom illustration that I create from photos. I'm also more than happy to send the couple one of the smaller illustrations too

Question 10

What are your packages?

Accepted Answer

My wedding package includes 5 hours of onsite live sketching and a custom illustration of the couple getting married. Additional studio time can be added if you have a larger guest list and want everyone to recieve a sketch! Photos of guests will be taken and remaining sketches will be completed after the event IF you book additional time. Every wedding and every couple is different so please fill out the live guest illustration form to recieve an accurate qoute!
