Live illustration, graphic recording and visual scribing for talks, workshops and events.
Hello👋 We’re The Live Illustration Company
We draw what’s being said - so your message doesn’t get lost or forgotten. Whether it’s a conference, strategy day, keynote or team workshop, we listen closely, think fast and sketch live.
The result? Smart, hand-drawn visuals that make complex ideas easier to follow, more engaging to share and impossible to forget.
You're in good hands.

What We Do
Live Illustration / Graphic Recording
Drawn as it happens - on paper or screen, in the room or remote. This is about capturing the big picture of talks, workshops and conferences so people stay engaged and you’ve got a visual record to share afterwards.
Big Colouring Walls
A large-scale illustration designed for your audience to colour in together. Simple, hands-on and always a talking point. Great for team days, exhibitions, events and public engagement. Bring energy to your event!
Visual Minutes
Clear, illustrated takeaways created after your event. These sketchnotes capture the key messages and next steps in a format that’s easy to share in reports, slides or on social. They can also be adapted into other assets so the content keeps working beyond the day.
Why we do it
People remember more when they can see it.
Live illustration turns complex ideas into something clear and visual. It keeps energy in the room, helps people feel heard, and makes key messages stick long after the day is over.
How we work
Every project starts with listening. We take time to understand your goals, audience and format - whether it’s a conference, strategy session or team workshop.
2. From there, we plan the practical details: how the live illustration will look, where it’ll sit in the space, and how the final visuals will be shared afterwards.
3. On the day, we draw fast, stay flexible, and keep in step with your schedule. You’ll see the visuals grow in real time, then receive clean, high-resolution files ready to use across reports, social channels and internal comms.
4. Afterwards, we can help you repurpose the work into design packs, animations or print pieces through Yoke - so the impact lasts long after the event.
Beyond the event
Born out of Yoke, our bigger creative family, we can help your visuals live far beyond the event itself, turning one day of drawing into weeks (or months) of content. Your illustrations can be adapted, extended and repurposed to keep the story going - in print, online and on screen.
Timelapse films:
Short, shareable clips showing your illustration coming to life, perfect for social posts or event recaps.
Design packs:
Repurpose your visuals into branded slides, posters, reports or wall art that keep ideas visible long after the day.
Animation & motion:
Add movement and sound to your artwork with short explainers or looping snippets for social media.
Interactive formats:
Explore digital, AR or VR versions that make your content immersive and engaging for your audience.
Creative team days:
Run a custom session where your team can sketch, share ideas and rediscover their own creativity.
Bespoke packages:
If you’re interested in something more custom for your project, just ask & we can build a package around your needs.
And if you need more…
Live illustration is where we start. But being born out of Yoke, our bigger creative family, means we can scale things up when you need more.
