The TINY Sketchbook Project
I participated in the Brooklyn Art Library’s Tiny Sketchbook Project, filling a miniature version of their regular sketchbook with small drawings summarizing moments from my camera roll. This was so fun!

Huevember 2018
I do NaNoWriMo in November, so I don’t have much time to draw. Making these tiny drawings for a month-long color challenge was the perfect creative cooldown after long nights of writing.
Monster Girls
For a while, drawing monster girls was my main form of stress relief from a toxic job situation. The last few monster girls were drawn after I quit and became much happier. Eventually I colored a few of them in. I loved my monster girls.
Folktale Week
I used the Folktale Week challenge as a side project for NaNoWriMo. Working within the world of my novel, I created seven folktales as worldbuilding exercises. These foundational stories enrich my story and drawing on the side helped me decompress from writing yet stay mentally connected to my book.
Inktober 2018: Benedict and Boo
I split Inktober 2018 into several small projects. The last week of October was my attempt at a creepy rhyming comic, using the official prompts.
Inktober 2018: Together Alone
I split Inktober 2018 into several small projects. For the middle two weeks of October, I tried my hand at a short black and white horror comic. It ended up not being very scary, but creating a narrative out of the prompts was a fun challenge and I am proud of the tragic tale that resulted. People were divided about my schoolmistressy handwriting — some found it tough to read, others said it added a lot of personality.
Inktober 2018: Characters
I split Inktober 2018 into several small projects. The first week of October was dedicated to characters from previous years. These characters had been mostly hand drawn in years prior so I wanted to play with drawing them digitally. I didn’t get a chance to explore every relationship — example, the two Frankensteins. Maybe some other year…
Potter Week 2018
I participated in a week-long Harry Potter challenge (it started in July around Harry’s birthday but I didn’t finish until August, oops lol). Building on my avatar from the Hogwarts Mystery game, I followed my character through seven years of Hogwarts. She had two pets (even though you’re only allowed one) and was a proud Slytherclaw. Her best friends were a pair of albino conjoined twins named Owen and Oz, and a fluffy girl named Chrysanthemum (Santhy for short). She was one of four daughters born to a Japanese wizard rock bassist and a magizoologist/magical vet, and her sisters were sporty Riho (Gryffindor), bookworm Aiko (Gryffindor) and sweet peacekeeper Hakucho (Hufflepuff). Her rival was a Slytherin boy named Felix Clement, and by their final year they’d gone from enemies to sweethearts training together to work with dangerous magical creatures. I really enjoyed the storytelling involved in this challenge!
Childhood Week 2018
A prompt and a childhood memory every day for this summer challenge. I enjoyed this and got a lot of positive response, especially for the panel featuring my dad.
Mermay 2018 Gallery 2
My first MerMay! In 2018, I was still very new to drawing digitally and this challenge really helped me practice, especially textures. NSFW because I do not believe in modesty shells! The last two weeks of the month:
