Friday the 13th: SketchyGOichie Digital Drawing Workshop

Friday, February 13, 2026
5 PM to 6:30 PM
Ages 7+

This special Friday the 13th edition of the SketchyGOichie Digital Drawing Workshop turns a day known for superstition into a celebration of creativity, imagination, and good vibes. Young artists will use iPads and professional digital art tools to design their own characters, creatures, or good luck charms while learning the same digital techniques used in animation, toy design, and video game illustration.

Led by SketchyGOichie’s playful, high-energy teaching team, this workshop is designed to keep kids engaged while building real creative skills. Students will explore character design, storytelling, and visual problem solving through guided, step-by-step instruction that supports a wide range of learning styles. The focus is on confidence, creativity, and purposeful screen time.

SketchyGOichie’s DRAW workshop series is built to help kids develop strong creative habits while having fun. Using iPads and professional-level drawing apps, students will sketch, refine, and complete digital illustrations with guidance from working artists who bring real industry experience into the classroom.

This workshop is perfect for kids who love drawing, storytelling, or digital art, as well as those who are curious to try something new in a supportive environment. No prior experience is needed.
