Have you been enjoying your Saturday afternoon? We have! There are some spectacularly creative pieces in the #EMGSketchFest 92 gallery<\/a> that you’re really missing out on if you haven’t been participating.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to create anything to join in Sketch Fest – you can just turn up to admire the gallery and share your thoughts on social media! (Use our official hashtag, #EMGSketchFest, if you do.) And if you do create, it doesn’t have to be paintings or sketches – you can do sculpting, knitting, crochet, jewelry-making, whatever you’d like!<\/p>\n

Let’s feature some illustrations to get you stoked and clicking through to the full shebang:<\/p>\n

“Look at My Mushrooms!” by Shelley M. Walker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shelley M. Walker shared a fairy with fetching mushroom, flower, and grass foliage atop its adorable head. “Look at my mushrooms!<\/a>” they cry. How can we not?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“The Queen of the Night” by Mayumi Ogihara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“The Queen of the Night<\/a>” and her compelling gaze is depicted courtesy of Mayumi Ogihara’s talent and Kathy Nutt’s “Crow Royalty” prompt! This work-in-progress is also up for grabs – Mayumi will be selling the original sketch for $27! 5×7-inch graphite sketch on Bristol.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Crow Royalty” by Katerina Koukiotis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking of “Crow Royalty<\/a>,” Katerina Koukiotis brought us a chibi Jon Snow with tiny Ghost! He may know nothing, but we know he’s the most adorable Crow. 5×7-inch ink sketch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Ethereal Barn Owl” by Renee Erickson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can almost feel the wind coming off of Renee Erickson’s “Ethereal Barn Owl<\/a>“! Renee was inspired by Mayumi Ogihara’s prompt “Ethereal Owl”: “As soon as I read this prompt, the image of a barn owl with the back light filtering through it’s feathers came to mind. Thank you for the prompt Mayumi, I had fun painting this.” The original 12×16-inch oil on canvas may be available for purchase later, so check back!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Black Unicorn Under a White Full Moon” by Amy Sue Stirland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our last featured illustration for now is “Black Unicorn Under a White Full Moon<\/a>” by Amy Sue Stirland! Amy’s notes read: “Doesn\u2019t he look just majestic on that rise?!?” Yes. Yes, he does. “I was thinking of making him darker then realized that I liked being able to see his details. I might make an ACEO that has a full silhouette.” This 5×7-inch black and white pen inks and washes on tinted art paper can be purchased for $17!<\/p>\n
