Went for a writing session with a good friend on Saturday ☺️ Wrote the skeleton for a mini comic zine, ate some good ramen, and had the cutest bear affogato! Hope you all have a cozy weekend 🫰

Here’s a single panel of a comic idea I had for my class! It’s about a witch named Iris 🧙🏼‍♀️ I am still not very good with backgrounds so this is what I have come up with for now 😅
