Drawing Smiles Caricatures

On event day, artists arrive early to meet the onsite contact, set up their drawing space, and begin drawing at the booking start time. All we need from you is 2 guest chairs, 1 artist chair, and good lighting (to see all those great facial features). No table needed! Each artist provides their own easels, paper, markers, and everything they need to draw you FUNNY!

From solos to crews, we're ready to draw you — guests sit for a quick caricature and within minutes… "Shablammy!" The first drawing is revealed and a burst of laughter sets the tone. With every drawing, the laughter builds, the crowd gathers, and before you know it, there's a line of people excited to be cartoonified!

DRAWING SMILES Caricatures is a Minneapolis-based live caricature entertainment agency, drawing at events since 2009. We bring a team of professional caricature artists to weddings, corporate events, birthdays, fundraisers, and any special gathering. Hire one artist or hire 8! Each artist draws 12 to 16 guests per hour in just 3 to 5 minutes per person, keeping the energy up and the laughs coming all event long. Available in black and white or color, with optional drawing protectors and custom-branded paper. Based in Minneapolis, serving the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, and beyond.

Setting up for your event is simple!
