As a professional Portrait Silhouette Artist, a silhouette to be produce is usually done within a minute in a A6 paper (a quarter size of A4, or it look similar to our palm size), plus the time we put the artworks to the standard plastic bag with the background, it will be average 40 pieces artwork can be produced within an hour's booking.
Any artist who only produce 7 pieces silhouette cutting or much lesser than at least 30 pieces cutting within an hour's event booking in a big crowd's event, that mean they are fake artist or either purposely do it super slow to kill the booking time.This quantity standard, not set by me, is the feedback from many guests and clients that having such demand.
Due to people traveled to many countries easily nowadays, there are more and more people know how to judge our artworks.
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.

Event at Marina Bay Sand Ballroom
This is my very first time doing my silhouette cutting in this newest building - Marina Bay Sand.According one of the staff claimed they are having the biggest ballroom/convention hall in South East Asia! That means if they openned all the partition of the convention hall, the space was allowed 8000 guests step in the related event! Whoa!As a roving artist, our job is to entertain the guests; so we must know when the guests was arriving that "filled up" the space of the ballroom, hence we have to choose the right time and the right crowd to start our roving job.Andy was doing balloon twisting in the event.

Silhouette with Half or Full Body
To produce a silhouette which more than a portrait was not easy an easy job, it involved some basic visual planning like how to cut the detail line of the silhouette to highlight the composition; it involved demanding accuracy of the figure’s proportionate scales.Usually I would not do such silhouette cutting during events entertaining booking due to need some times to produce it and I need to use at least A5 size paper to cut it out.
