Happy Wednesday Jollies! 🌿

This last month I have been continuing to develop my novel sharing exclusively on my while focusing on self development through courses.

You can see here that I gathered some of my traditional illustrations of Lil Sengi to use as reference as I draw the front pose for his turnaround digitally. Now I have to draw the rest of his angles. Haha.

It has been a challenge juggling this ontop of my day job, housework, and other deliverables, but I am so glad that I carved out this time to work on self development. Not only am I feeling the animation spark returning to my 2D roots, but I'm having fun, making time to learn, and making progress on this big ongoing project while doing it.

Working on homework that has purpose makes such a huge difference. Seeing Lil Sengi move is magical and oh so motivating.

I can't wait to share the final animated version of this with you when I'm done. Stay tuned for more.

Wanna see how I am making this in real time? Hang out with me LIVE via Twitch Mondays + Wednesdays at 7PM CST to see!
