On-site caricature drawing service for RBS.

Event: Thank You Event for RBS Singapore.
Date of event: 14 July 2010 (Wednesday).
Venue: Fairmount Hotel, Singapore.
Duration: 6.30pm to 8.30pm (2 hours).
Average drawing speed: 5 minutes per head.

An event which I did with my friend Jit who sought my service once again to partner him. The client requested for a more exaggerated version of caricaturing from us. I was being asked to submit 2 samples for their approval before the event in order to make sure that I meet their requirement. Whether it's kind or wild caricature, there's not a problem for me as I've done both in my previous events. In fact, it's more fun to do wild caricature at events. It give me the opportunity to practise using the guests features ;)

Caricature of party-entertainers.

A3 size caricature of 2 party-entertainers done from photographs.
Medium used: Colour-marker on white paper.
Type: Face with cartoon body & background.
Client's purpose: Work related.

These 2 entertaining partners wanted a caricature of themselves to be printed as poster so that it could be put up as signage during their performance at children's parties. I did a more exaggerated version of them instead of my usual way of drawing. They made sure that I drew their uniform & toy box correctly in order to reflect their image.

Venue: Suntec City, Singapore.

I was being booked 2 months in advance by Hong Thai Travel Services, Singapore for their big 25th Anniversary Carnival to do caricatures for their customers who have booked travel packages from them. The event was held on the 3rd floor of the convention hall in Suntec City. There was a huge crowd due to the recovery of the economy in Singapore. People just start to go for holidays again.
As for me, a 2-hour job on a Sunday afternoon was enough to make me happy...;)

Sam Hui Concert 2010.

I went to watch the Canto Pop pioneer Sam Hui's concert last Saturday. It was being held at the Expo-Max Pavilion, in Singapore. The living legend of Hong Kong still performs well although aged. His voice is still powerful as always. The last time I watch his concert was about 20 years ago. That was supposed to be his last but surprisingly he surfaced again after such a long absent. We were really entertained by this stylo uncle.
I took some pictures of him & his elder brother Ricky Hui who sang a few songs during the concert. These pics were taken with my small 'point & shoot' camera as DSLR was not allowed otherwise I could have taken some high quality ones.

We were seated quite far from the stage so I waited till his face appeared on the huge screen to shoot this.


I managed to capture a closer shot at the foot of the stage.


Funnyman Ricky was singing a duet with brother Sam who was also playing the guitar.

On-site caricature drawing service for BDD.

Event: Team BDD.
Date of event: 21 June 2010 (Monday).
Venue: MAS Building, Singapore.
Duration: 11.30pm to 12.30pm (1 hour).
Average drawing speed: 6 minutes per head.

I was engaged to do a live session for the team BDD at the Monetary Authority of Singapore building. The 11-person caricature was drawn on a A2 size paper. They were being drawn one after another just before their lunch hour. The caricature was meant as a gift to their lady boss who was departing,I guess.
After finishing the 10th person, they told me that the last one got to be done from a photo simply because that person was absent. I did that by looking at a photo in an iPhone belonging to the lady boss. Luckily the image was sharp enough for me to get the likeness. We had lots of laughter as the whole group was joking during the session.

Portrait sketching.

A3 size portrait of a sleeping guy done from photograph.
Medium used: Pencil/graphite on white paper.
Client's purpose: personal gift.

An unusual request by the client to draw her boyfriend from a photo which she took while he was sleeping. I was surprised that she would pay me to draw such a portrait. The challenge was to draw it in an artistic way so that it wouldn't looked like a photo but an art piece. The request was to use pencil but I used graphite instead to create the texture & it looked interesting as a result.
