You can hire a live caricature artist here for a wedding, a corporate event, an exhibition stand, a birthday or a private party in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The artist sits with one guest at a time, draws a caricature in a few minutes and hands it over on the spot. Send us the date, the venue and the number of guests, and we send the artists who are free, with sample drawings and a price.

Price: live caricature artists start from AED 1,500 for a basic 2 hour booking. Longer events, bigger guest lists and extra artists cost more. See how much a caricature artist costs in Dubai.

CaricatureArtistDubai.com books caricature artists and live sketch artists, nothing else. One team in Dubai handles your enquiry from the first message to the last drawing. More about us.

What a live caricature artist brings to your event

Guests do not just watch. They sit down, chat with the artist, and a small crowd gathers to see the face appear on the paper. Most artists finish a drawing in about 3 to 5 minutes per person, so one artist can draw dozens of guests in an evening. Every guest leaves with a drawing of their own, which is why caricatures work so well as a keepsake at weddings and as a talking point at company events.

Artists can work seated at an easel or move around the room, and they bring their own paper, pens and markers. They need very little space: a small table or an easel, two chairs and good light.

Choose the style

Hand drawn caricatures. Black ink on paper is the classic look. Colour caricatures are available on request.

Digital caricatures. The artist draws on a tablet, and each caricature is printed at the event on a branded template or sent to the guest. See digital caricature artist in Dubai.

Pencil portrait sketches. For a more elegant, realistic portrait instead of a cartoon, book a live sketch artist. See sketch artist in Dubai.

Occasions

Weddings. The artist draws guests during the cocktail hour or while they wait for dinner, and can draw the couple too. See wedding caricature artist.

Corporate events and exhibitions. Your logo or event hashtag goes on every drawing, which keeps an exhibition stand busy and gives visitors a reason to stop. See caricatures for corporate events and exhibitions.

Birthdays and private parties. Children and adults both love seeing themselves drawn. See caricature artist for a party.

Your logo on every drawing

A company logo, an event hashtag, names, a date or a short message can be added to each caricature. On paper, it goes on a printed sheet. On digital caricatures, it goes on the print template and on a post event video for social media.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Artists draw at hotels, villas, ballrooms, exhibition halls, offices and malls across Dubai. For events in the capital, see caricature artist in Abu Dhabi.
