Wow. Our artists have just been blowing us away, helping us celebrate #EMGSketchFest 100 in true style! We can’t get over all the remarkable portraits, funny and whimsical illustrations, 3D art and so much more – there’s acrylic pouring in the gallery, everyone! It’s amazing!<\/p>\n

You MUST check it out<\/a> – and let us tease you into clicking over there.<\/p>\n

“Sunshine” by Monika Holloway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sheer amount of character Monika Holloway captures in “Sunshine<\/a>” simply radiates off the page. Graphic pencil on 7×9 cotton paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Bubbles” by Elisa Ferguson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Elisa Ferguson’s “Bubbles<\/a>” captivates us with its vibrant colors! Here’s what Elisa said about this piece: “Bubbles float through all water, but they really like mermaids! This red haired beauty really likes her bubbles.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Koi Mermaid” by Becca “Boo” Moore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A “Koi Mermaid<\/a>” gives a coy flick of her tail in this sketch by Becca “Boo” Moore. “I enjoy drawing mermaids and koi, so whenever I can combine them, I’m happy!” Becca commented. The colored version of this is available for only $25!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Remembrance” by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mitzi Sato-Wiuff’s “Remembrance<\/a>” makes us pause at the wistfulness so artfully captured in the graceful line of her neck, her lowered eyelids, and her parted lips.\u00a0Sakura Micron in sepia on 5×7 Bristol vellum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Seahorse” by Elma Bree<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This “Seahorse<\/a>” from Elma Bree looks like it’s rather been caught out of turn! Those bubbles and that eye look surprised.\u00a0Elma said she’ll be finishing the 5×7 sketch on watercolor paper with watercolor markers. You can pick up the original for $8!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“A Green Man” by Ellen Moore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We love to see people playing with three-dimensional art, and this greenman<\/a> from Sketch Fest newcomer Ellen Moore puts a smile on our faces! This fellow was made with Sculpey and measures 2×2.5. Ellen thinks it might end up being a brooch or a necklace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Moon Princess” by Mayumi Ogihara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our last featured illustration for now is this gorgeous portrait from Mayumi Ogihara – this “Moon Princess<\/a>” glows pensively under the lambent light of the moon. This illustration was done in Col-Erase brown, white charcoal, and white acrylic paint on 5×7 toned paper. You can purchase the original sketch for only $30!<\/p>\n
