Even the part where I messed up my husband’s head and had to create a whole new one to stick over it. Sorry, babe! (I drew our cake topper from our wedding. I’ll pop the reference below in case you wanna draw it too.)

P.S. Here’s the one I did a few years ago. I think it’s way better. Probably because I wasn’t talking and drawing, but those are my two favorite things so… 🤷‍♀️

I love revisiting old drawings to see how the work changes! I did it in this video and it was SUPER EYE OPENING!

Do you ever sketch something you’ve drawn before and compare them?

How did it feel the second time? What did you learn?

I don’t know what is scarier, my crusty palette or weird face I make when I take a screenshot.

That hour flew by! Thanks to everyone who drew and chatted with us. I had a blast and loved drawing these bunnies!

I sent them to my grandmother. 😬 She printed them. Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever?
