Sketch Drive
Have you ever wanted to know how you would look as a cat? a ninja? a ninja cat? Do you wonder what you and your bestie would look like as anime characters or fantasize about finally getting a picture of your D&D character to show off at the next session? Sketch Drive, one of Otafest’s longest-running traditions (and best kept secrets) is where these ideas come to life!

Choose your favorite style from our team of talented artists and get your dream portrait sketched for a good cause. Half the cost of the sketch will go directly to the artist, with the rest going to Otafest’s chosen charity so you’re supporting a local artist and giving back to the community with a single purchase!

Join your friends and fellow Pokémon fans as you select a pattern of your favourite Pokémon and stitch them together by hand! All ages and skill levels are welcome as volunteers will demonstrate and assist with the sewing techniques needed to make your very own partner for you to take home!

Spaces are limited, so pre-registration is required. Pre-register at the Otafest Pokémon League room (Marriott - Kensington), starting at 9:00am! Spots are first-come-first-served and we run out quickly.
