Your Queen Elizabeth II Live Sketches #SketchOff #MakeAStartInArt

Just when we thought the quality of entries couldn’t get any better for #SketchOff, you blew us away once again with your amazing art skills. As the last live #SketchOff took place on Tuesday 19th April, two days before the Queen’s birthday, we thought we’d celebrate by selecting a portrait of her majesty for you to try your hand at.

We revealed the image at 7:30pm and gave you 90 minutes to draw, sketch and paint your pictures of our longest reigning monarch. With such an iconic portrait to depict, it was a tricky task but, as usual, you rose to the challenge and produced some truly impressive pieces by the 9pm deadline.

Browse a selection of the amazing submissions we received below and don’t forget to join us tonight for the next #SketchOff – all will be revealed at 7:30pm this evening (Tuesday 3rd May 2016). We look forward to seeing you there!

*We have attempted to include as many submissions as possible in our gallery, but unfortunately we could not include everyone. All submissions have been considered for our competition prizes, and your art will have had every chance of winning even if you can’t spot your artwork in our gallery*
