I joined Sketch Fest in August 2012. It took me a couple of years until I decided to join because I didn\u2019t feel comfortable having 1 hour time limit to work on a sketch, but I got over that part really quickly, and before I knew it SF became an event I look forward to every month. My inspiration often comes from words and phrases, so using prompts to create sketches are a perfect way to get my creativity going. It\u2019s also very interesting and inspiring to see how other artists interpret prompts in their own unique way. I have created many sketches during the past 6 years of SF sessions. I hope to have a chance to further develop those sketches into fully detailed drawings some day.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to SF, I\u2019m participating in Portrait Adoption and Coloring Books, and my graphite drawing \u201cMedusa\u201d was featured on the cover of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/emg-zine.com\/item.php?id=872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span class=\"il\">EMG<\/span>-Zine<\/em> September 2012<\/a>.
