drawtober day 7 - "baking" 🍪🥄🥣 If you like baking, what's your favorite thing to bake? Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, but they have to be soft, gooey in the center, a teeny bit golden (not burnt) on the edges, add some dark chocolate, extra vanilla extract, and a generous sprinkle of sea salt on top. Mmm, the best. . . . . . #drawtober #inktober2022 #inktober #draweveryday #drawingchallenge #dailydrawingchallenge #bakingscenes #chocolatechipcookies #bakersofinstagram #kitchenscenes #editorialillustration #freelanceillustrator #freelanceillustration #digitalsketch #digitalsketchbook #cozyseason #homemadecookies #bakingday https://www.instagram.com/p/CjaxBbtLOdD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

drawtober day 6 - "quilt" ✨ Two very slightly different versions here, just changed up the color of some of the "stitching." Which do you like best? . . . . . #drawtober #inktober #inktober2022 #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #quiltersofig #fiberarts #dailydrawingchallenge #draweveryday #drawingchallenge #editorialillustration #freelanceillustrator #freelanceillustration #digitalsketch #digitalsketchbook #forthemakers #madeformakers https://www.instagram.com/p/CjXwa88rO9t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

day 5 - "apple picking" 🍎 Have you visited an orchard yet this year? My in-laws went to one this weekend and brought us back some yummy cinnamon apple cider doughnuts.

drawtober day 2 - "mushroom foraging" 🍄 Again, keeping it sketchy and simple.

drawtober/inktober day 1 - "fireplace" ✨ (not sure if I can really call it inktober since I'll be doing digital art 😛) I was undecided on a prompt list this year and happened to catch @randilynnreedillustration sharing the one she'll be using in her stories the other day, and it ticked all the cozy, autumnal boxes I was wanting. 🙂 Playing with minimal pallettes and sketchy lines this year, gonna' try to keep the process really chill and fun. . . . . . #drawtober #inktober #draweveryday #octoberdrawingchallenge #dailydrawing #dailydrawingchallenge #inktober2022 #digitalsketch #digitalartist #digitalillustration #freelanceillustrator #fireplace #cozyseason #cozyillustration #procreateart #editorialillustration #autumnal #cozyfireplace #digitalsketchbook #drawingchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLhMxirxgz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The house seems suddenly cooler in the evening, and I throw a cardigan around my shoulders and switch out shorts for sweatpants. The cool calls me to make warm cups of apple cider and Earl Grey vanilla tea, to go outside and feel the subtle autumn chill pricking at the edges of my skin. But I know that a step out the side door and the humid heat encloses, thick and suffocating. Definitely not autumn yet; definitely still summer. Autumn, here, hides at the end of summer, elusive and tricky. Sometimes you can feel it — a chill in the morning air one day, a certain smell carried on a random breeze. The seasons don’t slowly swap, instead, there might be an autumnal day or two here, then another week of summer temperatures and humidity there, followed by another week of chilly mornings and sweater weather. And even when autumn does arrive, it doesn’t stay nearly long enough. 🍂✨ . . . . . #autumn #fallvibes #autumnal #freelanceillustrator #freelanceillustration #persimmon #persimmonillustration #autumninspiration #cozyseason #cozyfeels #sweaterweather #wordart #typography #digitalsketchbook #autumnlove #seasonalfruit https://www.instagram.com/p/Cizu8H3rl7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little, quick date night #ootd from last week. Featuring a handmade cotton crochet top and hand-me-down skirt. I made this top a couple years ago, but haven't worn it much. I love it with this skirt - I think the proportions and lengths work just right. Also feels very "70s art teacher" aesthetic, which is a look that makes me feel very myself. All in all, cute outfit 10/10, would wear again. 😛 😄 . . . . . #handmadewardrobe #crochetcroptop #crochetootd #crochetersofig #embroiderersofinstagram #vintagestyle #datenightootd #artistootd #sustainablefashion #whatiwore https://www.instagram.com/p/CfB-ennLw3x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
