What a wonderful Sketch Fest we had last weekend! Twenty-one artists joined us and contributed 50 creations to the Sketch Fest gallery<\/a> – we have thumbnails and watercolors and colored-pencil illustrations.\u00a0We have a Christmas teddy bear, wonderland winter foxes, sweet Christmas mice, and polar bears, too – alongside Christmas tree cats and curious blops, folkloric illustrations and more.<\/p>\n

And did we mention the art for sale? Snag originals and prints for all your friends this holiday season – just look for the red border in the gallery to discover what’s on offer.<\/p>\n

Let’s have some final featured illustrations before we go.<\/p>\n

“Mistletoad” by Nathalie Reinholz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The holiday spirit gets a little earthy in “Mistletoad<\/a>” by Nathalie Reinholz –\u00a0Nathalie was traveling this weekend but still managed to squeeze in this sketch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Kitten in Christmas Tree” by Tara N Colna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tara N Colna uses photography with “Kitten in Christmas Tree<\/a>” to demonstrate that the struggle is real when you have kittens and Christmas trees together: “Can’t keep the new kittens out of the tree. This is Oreo getting caught, her brother Beelzebub jumped out before I could get him.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Next Step of the Plot” by Kir Talmage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We love this super-quick sketch from Kir Talmage! “Next Step of the Plot<\/a>” captures the raccoon’s hopeful deviousness as he dons a disguise to steal Santa’s sleigh… “The plans were ready. The diagrams were complete. All he needed now was his disguise.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Christmas Mermaid” by Sarah Alden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sarah Alden created this beautiful “Christmas Mermaid<\/a>” and she has a question for us all: Sarah will be coloring her soon and asks, “Do you think I should keep the shell crown or go with more of a holly wreath crown instead?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Silent Night” by Erich Heidewald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Feel the warmth of joy in your heart with this “Silent Night<\/a>” landscape featuring a family of rabbits in scarves around a cheerful campfire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
“I put it on a gear” by Charlie Galvin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This charming Christmas tree from Charlie Galvin made us grin! Here’s what Charlie said about it: “It counts as steampunk because I put the tree on a gear, right? The tree is also decked out in Edison bulbs. \ud83d\udc19” We think it counts, too!<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoyed this, and we hope you’ll participate in our next Sketch Fest in February! Enjoy the holidays and follow us on Facebook<\/a> for the latest #EMGSketchFest updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
