Thumbnail sketch “witches flight” and the start of the rough sketch. I am going to show more of my thumbnail sketches moving forward, I think process is so fun and important. (Maybe talk about other artist that inspire each piece and some “rules” I make for myself when building a piece)

Delays got me good this trip and I was stuck in the Dallas airport over night, but I finished my crows ( I spent 3 and half hours drawing feathers and twigs)

Thank you everyone who grabbed my first fan designs and made it a success! because of this I am going to move forward with the other design I really wanted to make. This next design is for the crows (and I would like to think if howl pendragon had a fan this would be the one)

Sketch of Alanna (Tamora Pierce’s Alanna series were my first books that made me love to read, I really dread reading before these books. She gave me a character that was both masculine and feminine, which I desperately needed)

Sometimes a 4 hour delayed flight is a great way to get a lot of little details done

She's done. I feel like I could play with the color a lot longer on this one (i have a few other color versions), But I really love the contrast her red dress has.

I have been putting off reading nona the ninth because I did not want to be trapped waiting for Alecto. But I've done it. ahhh (but I really loved how sweet and adorable Nona was 🥹 it was a really fun switch in comparison to Harrow's voice in the second book) Now I'm gonna have to make new fan art

I’ve had a rough few days my little guy got into something he should not have and this was day 2 in the emergency room checking his bloodwork. One day left and then I hope he will be in the clear. (Thank you everyone who has purchased from my Etsy and bought from me while vending it’s so helpful)
