SUMMARY:Sketch Drive
DESCRIPTION: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 favourite 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!
