Our eleventy-first Sketch Fest has come to an end! But that doesn’t mean the gallery’s locked – some additional illustrations may be added as our artists finish uploading the creations inspired by their claimed prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should definitely swing by the full gallery<\/a> – in a bit. Let us whet your appetite with some featured illustrations first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Lily” by Maigan Lynn<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Julie Rabischung’s prompt of “lotus flower mermaid,” Maigan Lynn drew this pale and long-lashed fish-tailed beauty. “Lily<\/a>” is drawn with colored pencils on 5.5″ x 8.5″ on toned paper. Pick up the original for $35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“The Blue Fox Carried by a Balloon” by Erich Heidewald<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Erich Heidewald drew this delightful blue fox<\/a> who’s “[f]loating, floating away!” with a whimsical grin on their muzzle. This illustration is colored pencils on 3.5″ x 5.25″ on 60 lb sketch paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Little Red Hen” by Kathy Nutt<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s a sublime watchfulness in Kathy Nutt’s line drawing of a “Little Red Hen<\/a>.” We can just see this chicken giving a mischievously loud bacaw before shimmying her feathers and looking for feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Queen of Shadows” by Mayumi Ogihara<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mayumi Ogihara sketched this “Queen of Shadows<\/a>” with her vulnerable yet piercing gaze and perhaps a hint of a raven-feather collar and a truly impressive crown. This is an unfinished digital sketch inspired by Maigan Lynn’s “the darkest dark” prompt, and Mayumi may finish it after some more brainstorming time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Storm Fairy” by Katherine Rose Barber<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Storm Fairy<\/a>” by Katherine Rose Barber is a breathtaking sketch of tempestuous beauty. She also did a speed-sketch of this, which will be up on her YouTube<\/a> later – be sure to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Just Wondering” by Peter C.M. van Herpt<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This majestic gorilla<\/a> by Peter C. M. van Herpt was created in pencil and pastel pencil and inspired by Nathalie Edelhirsch’s prompt of “just wondering.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
