“First Flight” - my submission to @cyaconferen

“First Flight” - my submission to @cyaconference last year! Although I didn’t win anything, I got amazing feedback for my illustration that gave me heaps more confidence in my art! 🎨

I love entering competitions because I learn so much every time, from composition to honing technical abilities, to pushing myself further and trying something I might never do before. 💖

I loved drawing this little kid in her pjs on her first flight with her dragon - who has a cheeky little grin. The little girl slipping off as the dragon dives down in the wind, and the moon lighting their way. I might add a city below to complete the drawing and give more perspective (which was some of my feedback!) 🐉

Do you love dragons and wish you could ride one? What do you think I should name them? 🥰

Getting back into this style vs what I usually draw for my children’s books / graphic novels 📚

Drawing just ten minutes a day before work can really help me stay motivated and focused, and take the pressure off my art!

Who should I draw next? 🤓

Raise your wands 💔🪄

Rest in peace, Maggie Smith, our Professor McGonagall 🕯️

I may have never met you in person, but you were such a huge impact on my life growing up and watching Harry Potter.

May you forever defend Hogwarts 🙏🏽

Keep going ✨ a year ago I was finishing up my 100 Days of Graphic Novels challenge and had no idea where this ride would take me, but I knew I wanted to be a Cozy Comic Artist. I knew this was my dream and wanted to make it a reality. Drawing Side Quest became my main quest and I have so many stories to share! ⚔️📚🥰 #cozy #cozyart #comic #comicartist #artist #artstudio #artlife #fypシ #kidlit #kidlitillustrator #scbwi #illustrator #cozycomic #sidequest

The existential crisis of an Artist…always wishing there was more time to draw 😅

All of the characters and ideas in my head that would take longer than one lifetime to create 🎨

A little over a year ago I drew my original comic character, Poppy Rowanberry for the first time. 🥹

She looks so different now and has evolved with my art style, but I will always cherish this first sketch. 🖌️

I remember drawing her with both styles of eyes and asking all of you which one I should choose, during my 100 Days of Graphic Novels challenge 🎨

What an adventure Side Quest has brought me on, and so many more exciting things are in the works!!! 🫶🏽

So if you’re a new artist, keep going!
