@eliafrica A sampler of caricatures (fast faces) drawn with chalk pastels by Eli Africa. A unique experience at live events, as the subject or as a spectator. https://www.elicreates.com

For fun as a young art student, I enjoyed sketching the faces of some of my classmates and friends. But when I stumbled upon gigs drawing quick sketches of strangers at live events where people braved sitting in front of me one after the other, I was hooked on the unique experience. I have lost count of how many faces I have had the privilege to create through the years, but I look forward to creating more smiles at my next live event. Attention: Event Planners.
