Day 8 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is CARVE. I’m looking forward to picking out and carving pumpkins with my husband while watching ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’. Tradition!

Day 7 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is FUZZY. Ok, so technically this is a wooly bear caterpillar - but he’s just so fuzzy!

Let's see... keeping up with SCBWIArtober. I've never managed to do everyday - going to try this year. One of my sketches pinged something in my brain so I want to develop it into an entire book. I'm also sketching a dummy that I want to start querying in the next year.

Day 6 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is CANDLE. I thought I’d do a very rough value sketch with this one.

Day 5 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is EYES. I don’t think I need to explain this one.

I’m seriously thinking about developing it into a picture book.

Day 4 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is BIRTHMARK. If a vampire had a birthmark I think would look like a bat.

The bear reminds me of Put Me in the Zoo. Were you inspired?

Day 3 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is PHANTOM. I got a bit literary with this one. "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"

This idea ran through my mind as well - glad to see someone did it.
