My first prompt combo of #peachtober25, Day 6: Ring and Day 7: Strawberry! This one was super fun and made me nostalgic for sleepovers with my friends when I was a kid :).

Day 4 of #peachtober25: Gingham! I’ve been wanting to get my Copic markers out for at least one of these prompts and it’s been a while since I’ve drawn in this style :). Super fun!

Day 3 of #peachtober25: Slug! I’m obsessed with sea slugs that look like other animals, especially the leaf sheep! Did you know they can perform photosynthesis?

Day two of #peachtober25: Kite! I was inspired by the artwork of Mitsumasa Anno and his hatching lines, so I wanted to try something like that. :)

Oh my gosh 15 minutes to spare! Here is day one of #peachtober25 (ACORN)! I love trinket shelves so I wanted to draw one and it got out of hand so that’s why I’m late ^^;.

My kiddos spotted a lemonade stand on the way home last week, so we stopped and had some :). It was so cute, so I had to draw one of my own. Just some cute little guys.
