On-site live caricature drawing event.

Event: Lundbeck (Investigator Meeting Welcome Dinner).
Date of event: 24 Oct 2008 Friday.
Venue: Upper Club, Chijmes, Singapore.
Duration: 4 hours (7.00pm to 11.00pm).
Average drawing speed: 3 minutes per head.

This event required me to caricature about 70 guests, so I proposed a 4-hour session in order to capture everybody. I was at full speed of less than 3 minutes per drawing for the first 2 hours but slowed down at the third 'cos almost all of them had been drawn by then. Apart from a group of vocal performers, I was the only entertainer. The event ended at 10pm although they had engaged me till 11pm. After the session, the client invited me & my girlfriend who assisted me that evening for a delicious Indian buffet meal.

As we were leaving the premises of Chijmes after the event, I managed to shoot a nicely composed picture of the building.
