Smeargle Sketch: The 30-Second Pokémon Drawing Challenge: After Dark

Do you love Pokemon? Are you bad at drawing? Then you're perfect for this game! The challenge is to draw a Pokémon as best as you can, relying only on your own memory...and you have just 30 seconds to do it. Audience participation is encouraged. Come in to draw or just watch! There will be prizes!

This version is 18+ to allow for more freedom during drawing and commentary. Participants should still attempt to make the Pokémon recognizable, but off-color commentary and details are permitted.

This is an 18+ drawing game where everyone can participate! The worse of an artist you are, the better.

Four “artists” will be chosen from the audience to participate in each segment of the game, in which artists will secretly be given the name of a Pokémon to draw, along with a one-word hint to some aspect of that Pokémon, in case artists are unfamiliar with the Pokémon. Within 30 seconds, the artists will draw that Pokémon to the best of their abilities on the provided dry erase boards. Then the drawings will be projected for the audience, who will first guess what the Pokémon is supposed to be, and then vote on which work of art best conveys the spirit of the target Pokémon. Small prizes are awarded to the audience member who correctly guesses what Pokémon was drawn and at the end of 10 rounds, the winning artist receives a larger prize. Then artists will switch and the game continues until our hour is up. Come draw, laugh, and win!
