What is Live Illustration?

Live illustration involves an artist like me, creating artwork in real-time during an event. This can range from capturing keynote speeches at conferences to illustrating the mood and activities at an away day or corporate gathering. The artist sets up their workspace at the event venue and uses traditional mediums like pen and paper or digital tools to create colourful visual representations of the unfolding event.

By incorporating this dynamic and interactive element, you can create a fun, engaging, and memorable experience for your attendees.
