Live Event Illustration & Guest Sketching
Live Sketch by Danni B is a Melbourne Live Event Illustrator creating original artwork in real-time at corporate events, brand activations and celebrations across Australia. Guests are sketched on-the-spot and gifted their own illustration to keep, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting memento.
There's a reason take-home artwork has become one of the most anticipated features at an event. Watching friends and colleagues come to life on paper creates a shared experience that feels personal, generous and alive. Every encounter is delivered with warmth and care, so each guest feels seen, special and celebrated.
From fast-paced fashion sketches to detailed portrait drawings, Danni adapts her style to suit your event, your guests and your brand.
