#EMGSketchFest was incredible fun, with 16 participating artists and 68 sketches uploaded – so far! We honestly had more than 16 artists join in this weekend, with several family members of our artists joining in: daughter, husband, niece!\u00a0 You should check out the full gallery<\/a>, after enjoying our featured illustrations below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Butterfly Words by Amanda Baker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amanda Baker took Afke’s prompt “words like butterflies” and created this fluttering and delicate beauty – “Butterfly Words<\/a>.” And this was Amanda’s first Sketch Fest! (Welcome, Amanda!) Pen and pencil sketch on archival paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Polar Bear and the Fairy by Sarah Alden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then we have Sarah Alden’s “Polar Bear and the Fairy<\/a>,” an utterly adorable confection of roly-poly polar bear cub and sweet fairy in the snow. She’s eager to draw more polar bears now!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
My Pet Dragon by Julie Rabischung<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Inspired by Cindy Hill’s prompt, “my pet dragon,” Julie Rabischung created this precious pair<\/a> – though the dragon is less than pleased! Here’s what Julie said: “Little girl has a new pet and it’s a dragon!!! But the little dragon is not happy at all to be wearing a bow and to be called ‘Squee’…” Graphite and markers on 4×6 Bristol.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Forest by Jenny Heidewald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jenny Heidewald jumped in with several illustrations, including this lovely portrait: “Forest<\/a>.” Jenny commented, “I really like how this one turned out in pencil, the soft effect works well.” They did! You can have this sketch for $8 (specially marked down from $10 in celebration of the New Year). Pencil on 2.5″x3.5″ Bristol.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Witch and Her Cat by Afke van Herpt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We saved another one of our favorites for last! This is a collaboration<\/a> between Afke van Herpt and her niece Ronja! Ronja drew the witch’s sweet kitty and then Afke added the troll witch herself.<\/p>\n
