Happy holiday festive time! For #kidlitartpostcard I drew the main characters from my tween graphic novel project in crafty “ugly sweaters.” They’re both collectors, so I imagined them laughing in a corner of the secondhand shop where she works, sifting through old buttons. SadeeSchilling.com

Colorful kidlit holiday illustration comic character sketch by Sadee Schilling of two tweens dressed festively in homemade “ugly sweaters.” The girl wears a pink, red and white sporty-style jacket that has been newly styled with large red buttons, red and white striped twine, and gold star buttons at the sleeves. She has stars in her auburn hair, ribbons spilling from the pocket of her blue cargo pants, and is holding a homemade wreath made of buttons. The boy elbows her playfully as he makes his sweater jingle—it is covered in golden bells with green striped ribbons and a tinsel Christmas tree decorated in buttons. He also wears greenery as “antlers” and a “belt” of golden tinsel tied jauntily around his waist.
