Early Look: Citrus 🍊🍋✨ + what I’m working on this week! ✨

Hello everyone & happy Tuesday! 🥰

Here’s a sneak-peek of my newest drawing I’m calling “citrus”! I’ve been feeling inspired by summery colors and fruity things lately, so I wanted to create a drawing that embodied those things ☺️ The glowy fruits were inspired by the way light filters through gummy candy! 🍊 I never eat candy these days but I love the aesthetic hehe 🙈
