sketchbook glow-up: birthday monster
Every artist has those old sketchbooks full of weird little doodles that never saw the light of day and honestly, some of them deserve a second chance.

This chaotic little creature went from doodle to full-on birthday queen, and the process was just as fun as it sounds.
