Caricatures

The quick-sketch caricature is available in black & white or color. This style exaggerates your features and has an uncanny ability to look more like you than well…some photos! They are first drawn in marker and then if color is wanted, smudge-proof Prisma Color is then used to finish the drawing. The average sitting time is 3-7 minutes.

Typically, our caricatures are the face and shoulder. If you need a drawing complete with body, environment and background, we’re happy to accommodate.

About Us

Welcome to Top Notch Drawings! We opened this business in the summer of 1999 because we love to travel and because drawing makes us feel alive! So, we set out to travel the U.S. and draw caricatures and portraits at Festivals, County Fairs, and Arts & Craft Shows. At first we thought it would just be a fun way to spend the weekend. But thanks to thousands of customers, we made it a way of life–and it became our means of living.

Our high-quality, quick-sketch approach to drawing has proven to be a popular attraction since we first set up our tent around Texas festivals in ’99. Getting a likeness in a drawing is our top priority. Top Notch Drawings is currently based on South Padre Island, Texas.
