Clementine always had the best Halloween costumes. 👑

The seedlings just weren’t thriving this year. Had she added too much snake venom to the soil? Perhaps one too many frog legs. Rose would have to call on Moira. She always knew what to do in these situations. 🌿✨

Do you do warmup sketches before diving into your illo work?
It feels indulgent to spend time sketching just for fun when I have such little time to work, but I think it helps me get in the right headspace. Getting my brain out of mom mode and into creativity mode. #kidlitart

[Alexandra Thompson @AlexandracoArt]

@artbykmbart Yes! I agree with this approach 👏😄

What are your thoughts on seeing rough sketches vs final artwork on someone’s feed?
Here’s a messy page of characters in profile. 🧐 For some reason I always struggle with this view. So here we are ✍️ practice, practice, practice.
