Another #EMGSketchFest has come and gone, and we had a grand creative weekend!\u00a0We had 29 participating artists and 99 sketches – which, given it was Sketch Fest #99, we feel is rather apropos. And there are 19 pieces of art available for purchase, from original full-size and ACEO sketches to limited edition prints. You should really do yourself a favor and have a whirl through our gallery<\/a> if you’re in the market for some art.<\/p>\n

We also welcomed two new artists this month: RCoots<\/a> and NickyWolf<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Let’s take a final turn through some featured illustrations before putting Sketch Fest #99 to bed:<\/p>\n

“Fairy’s Big Pet” by NickyWolf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Pig Fairy” by Amy Sue Stirland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can’t help but grin when we see Amy Sue Stirland’s 5.5×8 watercolor of a “Pig Fairy<\/a>!” This wonderful when-pigs-fly what-if was inspired by Heather Kilgore, and Amy says: “I\u2019m tickled with how the flowers turned out.” You can grab the original for only $17!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Amethyst and Pearl” by Kim Turner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kim Turner’s woman wearing “Amethyst and Pearl<\/a>” is effortlessly elegant! Here’s what Kim says about her: “This was really a quick one, but I can imagine going back to it as a painting and bring out the pearls and amethsyt sparkles…” We hope you do, Kim!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Strawberry Fairy” by Tricia Danby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even in it’s partially-sketched state, Tricia Danby’s “Strawberry Fairy<\/a>” has\u00a0 out mouths watering for some fresh strawberries!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Meeting” by Patricia Bowne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Patricia Bowne created this digital art sketch of a “Meeting<\/a>” between water and air, inspired by Julie Rabischung’s “fairy and mermaid meeting on the beach.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Meditation” by Rowan Lewgalon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rowan Lewgalon drew on Katta’s prompt of a “meditating nature sprite” to create this magical and provocative illustration. About “Meditation<\/a>,” Rowan notes: “I took the background from one of my other paintings, so I could already finish this one.” You can purchase a print for just $15.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Flowers Enchantment” by Linzi Fay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our last featured illustration for this Sketch Fest is this lovely portrait\u00a0from Linzi Fay, a delicate response to Julie Rabischung’s prompt, “Flower’s enchantment.” The original 5.5×8.5 drawing is available for purchase.<\/p>\n
