Sketchy Characters is an in-person member meet up with a purpose - to bring illustrators and authors together to learn from each other and practice our craft!

We do drawing and writing exercises as a group, share what we learn, talk shop, and brainstorm new ideas.

This is a great way to meet local members and build our creative community!

Check back here often for updates on the next date and location as we vary where and when we meet.
