Come and draw with us! Whether you draw a lot or none at all, we invite you to take a seat, grab a sketchpad, and give it a go! Throughout both days of Overload, the Auckland CBD Life Drawing team will host life drawing sessions.

Located in a dedicated zone at Overload 2026, Auckland CBD Life Drawing is here to offer a quiet area to unwind and draw your favourite characters from popular franchises. They’ll provide the drawing materials, so all you need to bring is your curiosity and creativity. No skills required!

While you draw, you’ll have the chance to meet members of the Auckland illustration community and learn more about your local art groups.

Take your sketches home as a souvenir, or show off your masterpieces and pin them to our community wall for others to admire!
