Day two of my October Creatures — Tea! 🫖

Not loving this one as much as yesterday's but I guess that's how daily drawing projects go!

It's October and the crows are flying in Portland. I'm trying to do some more drawing this month, under the broad theme of "CREATURES." The only rule is: let it be imperfect! Excited to see what everyone else is scribbling this month too ✏️🎨

Sticker designs to celebrate reading ☺️📚🌼 what is everyone reading this summer? Would love some recs!

#kidlit #reading #booksky

A colorful caterpillar character wearing a sunhat uses its many legs to hold multiple books. Hand lettered text reads "so many books so little time."

Illustration of flowers growing from an open book

A small gnome with long green hair holds an open book and sits nestled in a pink flower. A steaming cup of tea sits next to them, and hand lettered text says "curl up with a book."

Hand lettered text reads "books are magic" surrounded by floating books and sparkles
