What is Sketch Please?
What’s the deal?
Sketch Please started in 2005 as a bet between two artists and friends as a way to help motivate each other to continue drawing — no matter what. Do one drawing per week on a specific theme, or forfeit one of your comics. You have until Sunday at midnight to email out your sketch or else you fail.
Comics?
Yeah. We’re into comic books. You got a problem?
Who are the artists?
We’ve had a handful come and go, but the current roster is made up of Linemaster John Conger of Gutterball Comics, Art Director and Illustrator Jason Adam, Illustrator, Designer and man-about-town Sir William Wesley (aka Will Hobbs), and Princess Lizzy Layne.
Who’s winning?
No one’s winning. Sketch Please isn’t a competition. As long as we’re all drawing, everyone wins.
Has anyone lost yet?
Oh yeah. But, we don’t like to talk about that. The idea is to focus on the big picture: keep drawing.
Can anyone join?
Not yet. Right now Sketch Please is a private site, but we’re planning on opening it up to the public sometime this year. If you’d like to be emailed updates on the new site, send us a blank email to public@sketchplease.com.
I have an idea for a theme.
Awesome. Post it on this page, and if we like it, we’ll use it.

Actually, I can’t draw. If I don’t draw a picture a week, will my account be deleted?
I registerd because I want to learn sketching, but I don’t know how to sketch.

Hello,
This would be a great public website that anyone can participate in. The drawings are great! If you do make the site public don’t do a whole bunch of sign-up things that require personal information. If you do younger artists would not take part in drawing for this website.(That stuff is also a pain in the butt to submit!!!)

Hey everyone. Thanks for commenting.
There’s been some confusion about registering with the site. The site has never been open to the public, although so many artists want to join that we decided to create a new version of Sketch Please that IS open to everyone.
We’re in the middle of developing that site, and its going to take a while longer. We’re hoping that the new site will be live sometime over the next few months.
If you DO want to join (and we hope you do), just email us at public@sketchplease.com and we’ll send you an email when the new site is up and registration is open.
Thanks,
The Sketch Please Team

Hey Mr. Sketch Please,
I was a-thinkin’ to myself that although it may, as you said, take a while to make a public Sketch Please dot com, you might want to consider posting next week’s theme ahead of time, so fellow supporters can join in the fun and privately compare their drawings to yours. Just an idea.
Speaking of ideas, just for fun I think I’ll put up my own ideas for some themes…
Fuzzy creature, dream couch, bearcat, monkey, santa, where Waldo really is, explosion, organ, 3D shape, genie, sandcastle, what your kitchen looks like now, waves, sunset, ____-feliac, ____-phobia, fire, baby, flower, snail, shoe, the best thing since sliced bread, what you would have as a pet if you could, unstealable wallet, capsicum, uggli fruit, mandibles….
Oh, I could go on all day!
But I won’t.
Thanks for your time.

Sketch Please said:
Steven: That’s a great idea. We’ll see if we can post next week’s theme on the homepage.
