The Art of
Sketch Quest
ConnIe Beckham
Sketch Quest is a bizarre narrative about two friends who
discovers an enchanted sketchbook that brings their sketches to life. These sketches possess their own personalities and emotions, similar to a real person! A sinister power wants the sketchbook for their own evil doings. The two adolescent heroes must find other classmates that would help them triumph against the new menace. This concept will be used as an animated series, video game or comic book in the near future.
This book showcases my sketches of the main characters, other character designs, and sketches from my Senior Thesis work.
Aidan Aidan is a carefree middle school dude with a lot of coolness. He’s Celeste’s best friend and fellow classmate. Arts and crafts are his favorite subject. Aidan was very excited to find out that the sketchbook brings their characters to life and an evil villain has appeared. He thinks that now the video game the two had in mind is becoming reality.

Keeping Aidan’s hair swoop consistent was a challenged.
Celeste Celeste is an anxious girl who loves arts and crafts. She always have paint splatters all over her hands and clothes. When she finds the enchanted sketchbook that makes her sketches come to life, she was very concerned and curious about her new friends. Maybe this is a dream come true for the young artist, or a nightmare.

Pricrilla
Celeste’s Sketchsona Priscilla is Celeste’s spunky Sketchsona. She’s always full of energy and is very caring for her new human friends. One of her teeth is missing because Celeste draws all of her characters with a missing tooth for some odd reason…
The design of Priscilla and Damian were inspired by tribes from around the world and religions such as Hinduism.
Damian
Aidan’s Sketchsona
Damian is Adian’s no-nonsense Sketchsona. He takes everything seriously and keeps the gang in line. Aidan gave Damian horned shape hair because one of his favorite video game characters have a horned hat.
Damian was originally suppose to be a girl but I decided to make the rational of girls and boys even. .
Sinister Foe Donovan has always been a bad egg, from cheating on tests to bullying other students. When Donovan overhears about the enchanted sketchbook, he went into the old cardboard box and found a piece of paper from it. With his sinister sketch, he wants to own the sketchbook and use it to take over the world. Well, at least his city.

Friends The next few pages are designs for Aidan and Celeste’s classmates/friends and their potential sketchsonas.
Art teacher is a little ditzy and loves collecting things from thrift stores. She left an old cardboard box in her office she found one day. She never knew that an ordinary box would contain such an extraordinary object.
