\"\"<\/a>
“Warm and Fuzzy” by Amy Sue Stirland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amy Sue Stirland sketched this adorable “Warm and Fuzzy<\/a>” pig, and she says: “This cutest fluffy piggy is enjoying his first snow in a warm winter cap.” She plans on finishing the 8.5″ x 5.5″ illustration with watercolor\/gouache.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Polar Bear and Her Cubs” by Peter C.M. van Herpt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Peter van Herpt’s animal illustrations never disappoint, and this protective polar bear<\/a> with her two cubs is no different! This sketch was done with pencil, pen, and ink.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Christmas Cardinal” by Sally Gilroy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This sketch of a “Christmas Cardinal<\/a>” from Sally Gilroy easily conjures the feel of a bright, crisp day and the birdsong all about. We can even see the colors!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“The Sweetest Mouse” by Katerina Koukiotis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Evelyn Henderson left the prompt of of “sweetest mouse” and Katerina Koukiotis delivered with this sweet creature! “The Sweetest Mouse<\/a>” is a 5″ x 7″ sketch in colored pencils – and an ACEO LE print is available for only $6!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Unimpressed and Ornamented<\/a>” by Tallulah Cunningham is another illustration that made us laugh out loud – the expression on this giraffe’s face is priceless! Tallulah created this illustration with color pencils and pen on a paint swatch card.<\/p>\n
