That should be fun to do Silhouette Cutting in caricature way which exaggerating the feature of the side profile.
Now the problem came:
1. to do a nice exaggerated profile, the guest must be having strong features, because in the details within a human face’s silhouette there are limited portions of the face can be play around, there are only: the neck, the jaws, the mouth, the nose, the forehead and the hair style. Not like caricature drawing, you can play around the color, the shadings and etc.
2. Not much people know their own side profile well, just a normal portrait silhouette of the guest, they usually need their friends to confirm the silhouette cutting whether looks like them or not; if you wanted to do an exaggerated silhouette, you have to ensure your guests having the artistic eyes and feels as yours.
Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.

Silhouette Cutting At Zoological Singapore and Singapore Flyer
Did silhouette cutting for McConnell’s Family Day at Zoological Singapore; although there was a worm day, but I was happily to meet the friendly and nice guests. Other thatn that, met some old friends in this event as well liken popcorn provider May, airbrush tattoo and face painting Sheila and her team.Look! This is the white tiger which in the news recently!Basically, due to school holiday, many companies will pick almost the same day to do their family day, hence certain Saturday or Sunday became hot day for entertainer’s booking, and meanwhile we might be booked 2 or more shows within such hot days.
Usually, year end like November and December was peak period for lots commercial promotion activities, hence we could be having 2 or more bookings during week end. As an entertainer, you have to be compromised that your week end burned; because we belonging to the servicing group in the society as well, haahaa!
I was luckily that having 2nd booking at Singapore Flyer!
