Happy Holidays!
Have you ever heard of this fantastic festive folktale? The Yule Cat is an Icelandic legend centered around the holidays—an absurdly large cat said to eat anyone (especially lazy children ) who do not receive or wear new clothes by Christmas 🧦🎁🎄

The Coraline audiobook has been keeping me company lately, and I couldn’t resist starting a spooky little fall-inspired drawing because of it 🗝️ Here’s a sneak peak at some of the details #WIP

Absolute sincere advice: Print your project out at least once, and read it out loud at least once. You will find SO MANY things to fix and smooth out. You'll hear repetition and inconsistencies. If you print it out, the book will be more real in your head.
