This morning we got coffee and I started working on a sketch! 💛 I always find sketching to be a wonderful way to warm up to the day, and I thought this would be a cozy way to begin the month of April ☺️

Hello & happy Friday everyone! 🌼✨
We’ve been editing soo much this past week but I managed to find some time to color one of the sketches I made for the tutorial! 🥰 In the past I feel like one of my struggles was figuring out how to make my drawing look like the person in the reference while still making it my style, and I feel like recently I’ve been learning how to capture a person’s likeness a bit better! 🙈 It’s still always a work in progress...
