So far, my favorite comic is a recreation of a poem I wrote years ago — it goes, 'She walked with the sun, danced with the moon, and spoke to the stars; honestly, it was super weird.' I liked the character so much, I gave her a name and have been developing a whole little series around her. She’s just the worst, and I love that.

So as I mentioned, I’m currently working on a little series about Moongirl, the obnoxious free spirit we all hate. She’s the sort of person who calls herself a 'soulpreneur' or an 'empath' or whatnot. Just kind of a bummer, you know what I mean? But I think that specific kind of internet personality is hilarious, so I’m developing a whole series of comics around her — and I’m really happy with how it’s turning out! Be on the lookout for more of Moongirl’s adventures in the coming weeks.

Every time I find a new comic artist I enjoy, I immediately get jealous of their talent and wish I could draw the way they do. That’s obviously not a great habit, so I have to constantly remind myself to keep working at what I know how to do well and implement new stylistic things gradually as I learn how.

I've been asked to share some advice with you all regarding becoming an artist... My advice for you is to just draw every day! It’s not particularly ground-breaking advice, but I look back on things now that I illustrated just a few months ago, and I’m blown away by how much worse they are. It really is just practice, trying new things, and finding a style that works for you (plus a whole lot of YouTubing Procreate tutorials).

One thing that’s helped me immensely as I’ve been getting this comic off the ground — I turned my handwriting into a font. If you have wildly inconsistent handwriting (like I do, hello), it’s a great middle ground between doing your own lettering, which takes forever, and using a standard font like Comic Sans.
