Caricature live sketching for Westminister Travel (S) Pte Ltd

After the shooting at Marina Bay Promenade, another 3-hours gig, 7-10pm, at The Forbidden City, Clarke Quay, Singapore.
The client requested 2 caricaturists for their event.
I got Reggie to partner me.

Our workplace - dim lighting (This photo was edited and brightened up)!

The guests' features are either in bright lighting or under the shades.
This made the sketching a challenge.
Maybe I have encountered many such gigs, or I have cat eyes(?), I still can see their features, though not as easy as under normal lighting.

The queue starts to build up, and we were literally sketching non-stop throughout the 3 hours.

By the way, these photos were all taken with my iPhone 4S, which has a pretty good camera, despite such lighting.

Filming as artist for Korean Food Company CJ Foodworld Market

Client's brief:-
"Hi Jit,
Thanks for the photo.
As mentioned over the phone, we’d need you on 30th November as a caricature artist for a mock up outdoor event for our corporate video shoot. Tentative time to hold is between 12pm-6pm. Will try to shorten it to 3 hours and let you know by tomorrow. As I’ll be on shoot tomorrow and if I don’t inform you by 5pm, please SMS me. Thanks! :)


We’d require the following items from you if possible:
20 – 30 previous hand-drawn caricature works, to prop up the table. (Mixture of Asians, Caucasians, mid-shots, close ups, etc)
Drawing materials (pencils, pens, markers, erasers, etc)
An easel, if you have one."
I was engaged by an event company to 'act' as a caricaturist.
Before that, they requested for a photo of me. Not sure what it is used for?!
Time was 10am - 3pm, but extended till 4:30pm.

After the experience of the last shooting (more than 10 years ago for Moses Lim for a food program, acting as and artist too), I know that most of the time spent here will be waiting.
Thus, I brought some of my works along.

I was told to sketch this director, but he doesn't have the time to keep still for me, even for 5 mins.
Thus, I snapped a photo of him with my iPad 2, and did the sketching from it.

Guess what? The filming was stopped due to rain, and after all the long wait, my part was not needed, due to the client's change of plan!:D
Anyway, I got well paid by the client and left for the next gig in the evening on the same day.
