Taking a short holiday to visit my parents in Sydney, Australia and just did some free Silhouette cutting for the caring and friendly staffs who take care my father who stay in home care down here.
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 of Guests wearing Glasses
Cutting silhouette of the guest who wearing glasses, is a very basic skill in Singapore, those claim himself / herself an silhouette artist but not even can produce silhouette for the guest who wearing glasses, they are fake artist because they thought guests and client do not know what is silhouette cutting.
Frankly, silhouette cutting, demand as accurate as possible, as realistic as possible; anyone claim they are producing "caricature style silhouette cutting", they are fake.

How to find out Fake Silhouette Artist in Singapore
Due to more and more event people try to close the deal or some clients believe as long keep asking, sure easily to find professional silhouette artist for their event in Singapore.
I had taught a China student about 8 years ago, unfortunately before she really learn the skill, she and her whole family had started undercut me; many event companies was very happily use her low cost services.
Recent years, thought there are up to 10 or maybe 20 silhouette artists in Singapore's event market, many of them was thinking Singaporean and the public do not know what is Portrait Silhouette, so they are dare to cheat in the event.
Based my experiences (there are sure got people tell my they are my senior in Singapore, this is common), let me tell you, as a PROFESSIONAL SILHOUETTE ARTIST IN SINGAPORE, he or she must:
- able to produce a silhouette within ONE minutes because silhouette art is sort of line art, no need to do any color shading etc.
- must able to do roving, walk around type, because you need to observe the side face of the guests in more angles otherwise you are cheating
- those who wanted to draw the outline first, already show he/she is a cheater
- The artwork must super realistic
- You must be able to compare your artwork to the guest's real face side by side to show your accuracy, otherwise your still not qualified
