Live Illustration with Kaili Saba
As one of Brisbane’s most established live illustrators, with over eight years’ experience and collaborations with Gucci, Lamborghini and Montblanc, I create live illustration experiences that feel timeless, elegant and personal.
Imagine this: As your are guests enjoying your event, they are treated to a truly unique experience—witnessing the creation of personalised artworks unfolding right before their eyes. I am proud to be one of Brisbane first and most established live artists, having worked in the field for 8 years. As your live event artist, I specialise in creating live illustrations that capture the essence and likeness of your guests. The gift of a custom illustration is unlike any other party favour and leaves your guests with a cherished memento that they will treasure for months to come. With a wealth of experience collaborating with diverse individuals and high end brands, I’d love to bring an extra touch of magic to your event.

Former CustomerFrequently Asked Questions
-
Please provide:
A desk of 1 metre length and a chair at sitting height - a standard trestle table is ideal. If this is unavailable, please let me know and I can make other arrangements.
Good lighting is essential to ensure I can clearly see and create beautiful illustrations of your guests, so please make sure the area is well lit. If I’m positioned outdoors during the day, please ensure I am under cover or shade.
-
Due to the detailed nature and quality of my work, one person takes approximately 7-10 mins on size A5 paper . A couple takes approx 15-18 mins, and a group of 3 or 4 takes approx 20-25 mins. I don’t recommend more than 3-4 people per sketch. A good rule of thumb is to allow 6 people illustrated per hour.
-
Packages are based on number of guests, as well as how long it takes to draw each person.
If two people are illustrated together, it still counts as two individuals according to the package numbers.
-
I often use a combination of materials including pencils, markers and paint (either watercolour or gouache).
I also use heavy bristol artist paper to create my illustrations. All completed work is packaged
in a clear cellophane sleeve for protection.
