Today I'm doing an artist Q&A and answering lots of questions about social media, content creation, and my routine while I draw these two sweet little ghost friends in a bookshop!
Thanks so much to all of you who asked questions, this was fun to make so I'll definitely be doing another in the near future!
The illustration was drawn in Adobe Photoshop with the 'natural feel' brush from Kyle's megapack.
