Welcome to Sketch Fest Saturday afternoon, everyone! We hope you’ve enjoyed a leisurely morning and found some time for creativity. To entice you to join our creative weekend, I’ve got some sketches from the gallery<\/a> to feature for you! Let’s get to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Highlander” by Ellen Million<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We start with this piece by the founder of the Sketch Fest feast, Ellen Million! Ellen created “Highlander<\/a>,” a cheeky hunk of the shapeshifter persuasion. She’s selling the final inked version of this sketch as well!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Mangrovians” by Kir Talmage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kir Talmage, inspired by “the swamp mermaid” gave us this fantastic mermaid in her mangrove grotto, joined by nanatee.\u00a0“Mangrovians<\/a>” is pencil on ACEO-sized sketchpaper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Steampunk Mermaid” by MrsFriSco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is MrsFriSco’s first Sketch Fest, and she’s given us a finely behatted mermaid! “Just a coral reef mermaid finding steampunk flotsam and jetsam – she is trying her best to mimic the fascinating air-breathers\u2019 fashion with her ocean finds, some of them even genuine articles!” This sketch is titled “Steampunk Mermaid<\/a>” is 12×24 pencil on 140lb cold press paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Garden of the City” by Willow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shell’s very keen daughter Willow took Amy Sue Stirland’s prompt of “garden landscape” and drew this pretty landscape of flowers and fish! “Garden of the City<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Tonight We Ride” by Becca “Boo” Moore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Tonight We Ride<\/a>” is a fantastic dragonrider inked sketch shared by Becca “Boo” Moore! Look at that armor, and those faces – this pair means business. I wouldn’t get in their way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Fantasy Violinist” by Amy Sue Stirland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our last featured illustration this afternoon is “Fantasy Violinist<\/a>” by Amy Sue Stirland!\u00a0Inspired by Julie Rabischung’s prompt, Amy comments that she thinks her fantasy violinist is reminiscent of Lindsey Stirling! We have to agree. This illustration is gouache on 5×7 toned tan paper.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoyed this set of featured illustrations! Don’t forget to click through to the full gallery<\/a> for even more mermaids and dragons along with hummingbirds and fairies and more. We hope you’ll stay a while, submit a prompt, and maybe even create a little with us. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
