It was so cool to see your process and also how amazing that you worked with that art director later on! I hope your wrist feels better soon.

Loved seeing your process - and I read every word! The monster and his blanket is so precious, and your final spreads are amazing.

While your wrist heals, maybe the speak to text feature would help? From one physical therapy patient to another, hope it’s a speedy recovery for you 🧡

Thanks so much Jade for reading every word! I probably wouldn't if I was in your shoes haha! I have tried the speak to text feature a bit more the past couple of days but my accent keeps getting in the way. I will definitely try it out again though! Thanks for all the well wishes :)

TOTALLY know what you mean about trying to get the final art to match the movement and character of the sketches—I'm not sure I'll ever get it right! Hope your wrist feels better soon!

I know! It's incredibly frustrating and I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to capture the movement & spontaneity in the final artwork but I will try my damn best! Also I'm a massive fan of your newsletter!! It was a huge inspiration for me to start my own :)
