With only twenty minutes, I think I came up with something that kinda makes sense 😂.

What do you think?

Day 18 of @peachtober

The joy of creating this one was that it just happened. I myself have no clue what's happening here, but it's happening 🤣

Hope you guys like it ☺️ by @moniquemortimer_illustrations

First prompt for @peachtober and yes I am behind. But it took me the longest time to finally sit down and draw something, anything really.

But here we are. Hope you guys like it ☺️#peachtober26 #peachtoberoak by @moniquemortimer_illustrations

I'm also continuing my little ghosts throughout the challenge. They have been so much fun to add in.
