Events move quickly, which is why our artists sketch guests right where the conversation is happening.

At this event honoring NYC restaurant professionals, Drawing Booth artists worked roaming style — moving through the room and drawing guest portraits directly on the iPad while people mingled. Each portrait takes about 5 minutes to draw, with another minute or two for printing and sending the digital version.

Because the mobile printer is worn by the artist, the portrait is handed to the guest almost immediately. No booth, no line, and no interruption to the flow of the event.

Every sketch is printed on-site and saved digitally so hosts receive a full gallery of the guest portraits after the event.

What live event sketching actually looks like.

Guests check in, our artists mingle through the event, and portraits are drawn live on iPads in just a few minutes. Each guest receives a custom illustration printed on the spot with mobile printing.

Live sketch artists create a moment inside the event — something interactive that turns into a personal keepsake guests take home.

This is live illustration for events, from check-in to finished guest portraits.

Live sketching at ’s Barrel Night 🍸

Our artists moved through the room, creating custom digital portraits in real time and handing guests a keepsake they could take home that night. It’s an interactive, design-forward experience that sparks conversation, captures the energy of the event, and keeps the brand visible long after the last pour.

Our Story

Drawing Booth brings artists to events to draw quick sophisticated portraits... on iPads! Instantly shareable Custom branding Mobile on-site printing available.

Praise for Drawing Booth!

Drawing Booth was a HUGE hit for my recent client event. People were so intrigued by the artists and asked a lot of questions while the drawing process was taking place and were amazed at the finished product. Once people started to walk around the event with their printed drawings more and more people jumped at the chance to have one of their own. Of course I had to get one for myself! - Ariel Sealing, CMP Production Manager, Convene NYC
