Cosplay n’ Draw

Join Cosplay n’ Draw at MAGWest 2025 for a cosplay gathering and figure drawing event all in one! Come in cosplay and practice sketching live models at our relaxed, two hour sessions hosted in the Craft Cove! Drawing supplies will be provided! Hosted by @cosplayndraw and @moth.lon!

Where:
The MAGWest Craft Cove

When:
Friday at 6pm - 8:15pm Saturday at 5pm - 7:15pm Sunday 10am - 12:15pm

How it works:
A costumed model will be given a 10 minute time slot to pose however they’d like! Models can break this time down to any combination equaling up to 10 minutes (10 one minute poses, 2 five minute poses, 5 two minute poses, etc)

The artists will have the opportunity to draw the model within the limited time available. This is a great way for artists to practice timed, costumed figure drawing and increase their overall skill.

The host will be keeping time and will announce when it’s getting close to switching poses or ending.

How to participate:

  • Walk-ins are 100% welcomed and encouraged for both artists and cosplay models!

  • Artists are encouraged to take a seat and draw our cosplay models any time throughout the sessions. Please try not to block the view of any participants sitting behind you.

  • Cosplayers interested in modeling, please note that you may sign up for a timeslot via the Google Form or walk in! Models of all figure posing experience and wearing any cosplay are welcome! Come practice your poses and be drawn by artists!

Rules:

  • Be respectful to the model.

  • No Photography/Videography of the model without consent

  • No Touching models without consent

  • If you are not participating, please refrain from distracting conversations or behavior which may interrupt the session

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to combine your love for cosplay and art!

About Cosplay n’ Draw:

Cosplay n’ Draw was created by @moth.lon as a marriage between their two passions, cosplay and art! Our costumed figure drawing events are local to the California Bay Area, where artists can practice drawing from life and cosplayers can practice modeling and posing. We hope to be a chill, lowkey event where cosplayers and artists can both come together to hone their skills, make new friends, and build community. This project is made possible by our sponsors and Haven Wellness Spa.
