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.

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:

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.

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.

My first book I wrote after getting back into writing was a vampire book, and though I know it’s trash I still love it hah. I’m attempting a rewrite now to see if I can revive it (or…reanimate?) Here’s the MC, not taking any nonsense.

This morning’s sketch, I’ve been doing a pretty good job with my goal of drawing every day, and I can tell the difference! I don’t feel like I’m relearning to draw every time anymore. 😂

Some of the feedback I’ve gotten is to push my wip more YA, and I did this doodle last night, loosely inspired by Ayami Kojima’s works.

Now that I’m querying, it’s time to think about what’s next. I’ve learned that getting excited about a new project is the best way to survive the rejections. Anyway, here’s a doodle of a possible MC for one of my story ideas.
