Live Sketching for Vestner GmbH – Personalized Guest Portraits at Schlosstrand Erlangen

Live Event Sketching for Vestner GmbH — Branded Guest Portraits at Schlosstrand Erlangen

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas

In August 2024, the scenic Schlosstrand Erlangen became the backdrop for an unforgettable corporate gathering hosted by Vestner GmbH. I was invited to elevate the guest experience through live event sketching — offering personalized, hand-drawn portraits in real time.

Over the course of the evening, I created 28 faceless fashion-style sketches, capturing the unique essence of each guest — from elegant dresses and smart suits to playful accessories (and even a fluffy four-legged attendee). Each portrait became more than a drawing: it was a branded, artful takeaway that guests proudly brought home.

With a minimal and stylish setup, my live illustration station served as both entertainment and brand engagement — sparking conversations, laughter, and a lasting impression of Vestner GmbH’s attention to detail.

This collaboration highlights how live event illustration transforms a corporate gathering into an interactive art experience, blending storytelling, creativity, and personal connection. Ideal for after-work events, galas, product launches, or internal celebrations — it’s a sophisticated way to show appreciation to your guests and strengthen your brand identity.
