Since its creation, the page has gathered many loyal members who have become an inseparable part of the subreddit's identity. For this list, we've collected several of the most interesting works shared there for you to enjoy, so let's dive in!

I wouldn't be surprised if u drew the pens too with how good this is!

Big WOW. That angle is so difficult to draw a building and have it straight.
There are plenty of ways a person can express themselves, from writing and dancing to creating art. Even within art itself, there are plenty of mediums for a person to try—oil painting, watercolor, charcoal—you name it.
Before creating an art piece, quite many artists decide to sketch beforehand, even though it is not a mandatory thing to do when creating something. According to the definition, a sketch is a freehand drawing that is typically not intended to be a finished work.

My mate and I love to play these on Steam! I would properly pay to get prints to hang in my apartment.

I like this style of drawing. I used to see these illustrations during the 1970s, but it is not very common now.

Does It Look Real?

It looks nice! Is that your writing in the background? That looks really amazing, too.

On the other hand, some view sketching as an art technique that prioritizes the expression of ideas rather than realism and detail. Even this art form can be split into plenty of categories, mostly based on which tools or mediums the sketch is realized with.
Either way, this topic brings us to the point of this whole list—sketches. This list was collected from r/sketches, a community that people who like drawing by hand can share their works with. Bored Panda reached out to this subreddit’s moderators, who agreed to share some details about the page.

That looks amazing! It is rare to see somebody whose drawing is more precise than their typing.
They revealed that the subreddit was created over 10 years ago. Since then, the page has come a long way: “At first it was random pencil sketches but now our community has expanded to other art forms as well including painting.”
As our list shows, the paintings shared in this community are various—ranging from funny and simple to impressive sketches that are almost photo-like. It is a safe space for everyone to share what they have drawn.

Still Testing Out A New Technique, Feedback Is Very Welcome
The page is so popular that its size—256K members—is among the Top 1% of all of Reddit. So, not just its paintings, but the community’s size is impressive too.
All of this wouldn’t have been possible without its moderators—a team who, besides supervising this subreddit, have also become friends. Although, sadly, the first moderator who created the community is no longer on the team. Still, the current moderators are doing just as good a job.

Charcoal Of A Diver
And there is some work involved when you’re a moderator of such a community. In the interview, moderators revealed that, with the world's current events, there has been a rise in political sketches on the page, leading to arguments in the comments and even reports. While events can be hard to deal with, the team has handled things well.
The page is still thriving and people continue to have a place to share their art and ideas, or at least see what others like to create.
Do you like to draw? Feel free to share your creations with us in the comments or go share them in r/sketches!

First Proper Water Colour Sketch, Any Advice On How To Improve?
StrangeOne 1 year ago
This is a neat style. I don't see anything to improve as an observer. Artists have to figure out their goals and how to improve what they are unsatisfied with.
Hobby Hopper 1 year ago
I really like it, but I do think a bit more and darker shadow would make it more dynamic and really make it pop.

I love this! I used to color pages of drawings like these on Pigment. I'd spend good money on Etsy buying coloring packs of ones that looked just like this! <3

Art Event, Day 5, Cunning
The vibrant and inclusive r/sketches community has embraced various forms of art, transitioning from simple pencil sketches to more elaborate creations. This concept aligns beautifully with the approach of an artist who focuses on what's right in front of them when creating art.
This brings an innovative spin to traditional methods, as mentioned in the technique of prioritizing pure focus over visual reference.

Isn't that illegal? (I guess it depends where you are). I know it is against the National Quality Standards in Australia-comes under health and hygiene so if you don't have toilet paper your service/school can lose accreditation.
