Today I’ve been working on the cover image for my new WIP, Midnight Grounds, which I’m planning to release on #webtoon this fall! This is a redo of a sketch I did a few months ago and it’s wild to see how much my drawing has improved since then.

Art school was tough before the vampire tried to kill Edie. Now? It sucks. Armed only with a makeshift vampire hunting kit, Edie must try to survive freshman year.
Oh, and… figure out if she can trust the hot Vampire Barista that got her into this mess.

Can’t believe I made this that long ago! It was for some sort of 8-bit gallery show out in LA
I was shuffling some stuff around and found a Final Fantasy art piece that @stuffbykristin.bsky.social made back in 2013 and still love it as much as ever!

As I’ve been drawing Edie, the MC of my current WIP, who has long flowing hair, I wonder if I should give the MC of Motor Solstice long hair too. It’s just fun to draw and so convenient for filling up large parts of empty space in the panel so I don’t have to draw as many backgrounds 😂

I’m finally starting to hone in on my “YA” style, more for my current WIP, but also for Motor Solstice. I’m letting querying play out on the current version, but hope to revise it when I’m feeling more confident. Anyway, here’s a doodle I did this morning:

Can the temp just like, not be constantly be switching between 20s and 50s? Weather/Pressure shifts are a migraine trigger for me and it’s been wreaking havoc on my productivity 😩

I haven’t been as diligent with my drawing lately as I’ve been busy planning a billion birthdays along with my normal life things, but managed this doodle last night. I resisted posting it at midnight when I finished it, be proud of me.

Anyone else lose their ability to draw if they stop for even one day? Just me? 🙃

Proud of my kid for having the courage to participate in his first Pokemon TCG event over the weekend. It inspired me to make him a Pokemon style portrait.

I’m proud to say my son is finally into the original Pokémon cartoon and we walked around Costco reciting the Team Rocket motto together…
Such nerds.

It’s amazing how much I can get done when I switch doomscrolling for drawing 😅 I need to do an actual character design pass on these folks so they’re not just the very first ideas my brain spat out. From my YA fantasy WIP

Just a sketch for today. I did this last night and it took all my willpower not to post it at midnight as soon as I was done 😂 patience is not my strong suit, which is why working on all this secret art for my book pitches has been so painful!

Sketch for the day done. She’s got a secret and he’s on to her. Drama ensues. I’m hoping if I keep up this consistent drawing I’ll get faster and faster, I think I spent about 1.5 hrs on this one.
