My half of an art trade with @opens-up-4-nobody! They did these beautiful Newmann pics so I couldn't help but do a full colour one in return :D
More art from this week's video -- This one was based on the song “111 Winchester” by I The Mighty 🎶 (an all-time fave spooky track that was SO fun to try n’ illustrate!)!

Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
