Groves Caricatures Full Description

Drawing a caricature every 5 minutes, on A3. Head and shoulders, the odd silly bodies, a dash of colour and wacky as standard. Capturing great likeness and real expressions. Non offensive and great fun.

There is minimal set up time so therefore I can hit the ground running as soon as I arrive. As a walkabout caricaturist I can mix and mingle at the drinks reception, which is a good time to draw those not involved in the immediate family photos and it has the desired effect of getting everyone chatting.

I can also carry on drawing over the mealtime which is a perfect time to capture guests on the top table. I’d either stand to the side or take a chair and move my way along as I drawn each person.

For the evening reception I sometimes set up a few chairs, and anchor myself to an area, building up a crowd. Alternatively, I table hop around and continue with walkabout cartoons. I am very versatile and will know what will work best on the day.

Caricatures are free to all the guests and its a great memento for the day and years to come.

We booked David for our 40th Wedding Anniversary after seeing his work on a friends Facebook page. He was easy to contact and very prompt when replying. David always answered our questions quickly. David turned up on time and was ready to get straight to work. Our family and friends loved him, his work is amazing and he couldn't draw quick enough as he soon had people queuing to be next in the chair. I will definitely hire David again. If you want something a little different from the norm at your event then hire Groves Cartoons and Caricatures. He is brilliant.

An absolutely superb job and I've had nothing but superlatives both about the quality of your work and the fantastically sociable way you went about it - comments echoed across the very wide age range that was present. Your art really was the icing on the cake for the evening.
