Each sketch takes 4-5 minutes averaging 8 - 10 sketches / hour. My portraits capture a stylized likeness of guests and are unique takeaways at parties, festivals, promotional events and award ceremonies. I use colourful brush markers on letter size card stock paper or other surfaces, and I can also work digitally. The sketches can also be in customized themes if needed. A second style is watercolour and / or ink paintings with a more finished look and finer details. See pricing
