Michelle Sketches

Hi, I’m Michelle, a professionally trained illustrator with a BA (Hons) in Illustration, and I also work with an illustration agency. I love bringing a fun, feel-good creative touch to weddings through live sketching and bespoke illustrated details that guests can take home and treasure. I arrive around 30 minutes before guest arrival to set up. All I need is a table and a little space to draw. When guests arrive, I take quick photos and work from those, so they can get straight back to enjoying the day. I sketch throughout the event, then each illustration is packaged in protective film for guests to collect on the same day. What guests receive: A6 illustrated portrait (keepsake favour) Created with ink pens, watercolour pens, glitter, on 220gsm mixed media paper I typically sketch 8–10 guests per hour, so the number of hours you choose will depend on your guest count. If you have more guests, you can book live sketching for your chosen hours, and I can complete the remaining portraits after the wedding in studio time and post them to you to give out later (this is discounted and tailored — enquire for details).
