Fun fact- this page started off as a drawing of an abandoned mall which was based off a sad mall I went to as a kid. Changed the setting to better suit the story.

Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.
Share a bit of art, if you can!
Sing your own praises, if you like!

Love it when the internet blows up with art challenges. Do not recommend this angle as a cooldown sketch after work. 😅 I didn’t think the ears would be as challenging as they were!

Home now from Japan. Sad the holiday is over but knowing SHE was waiting at home made it all okay. I’m finally having a moment to delve in! Can’t wait to see which track I fall for the hardest.
Hope you all are ready for some witchy art.
