Everybody draws everybody. One person sits in the hot seat, everyone else draws them for two minutes, then we rotate. Go all the way around the circle and you leave with a stack of portraits of yourself, one from every person there.

Hot seat is optional. If you'd rather just draw the whole time and never take the seat, tell us and we'll skip you in the rotation.

No skill required and no instruction. Total beginners to regulars, same as always.

At the end we lay every portrait out on the table so we can walk around and see what everyone made, then you take home every drawing of you.

First time we're running this one in Irving Park. Come right in and look for us in the meeting room.
