Wip of original comic

If there's one thing I've realised whilst creating a webcomic, it's how time consuming it is. From storybording, scripting to sketching and colouring 😭

Should I have started my first webcomic with a simpler story? Maybe 😂

Physical copy I received from @harpercollins.bsky.social of a middle grade chapter book I illustrated. Really fun project 😊 #picturebooks #illustration #childrensbooks #illustrator

Throw back to when I received a physical copy of a phonics picture book that I illustrated last year for @harpercollins.bsky.social it was a big milestone for me as an illustrator new to the industry 😊
