Today's prompt for Cosytober is broom.

I decided to go back to what I like best, kidlit illustrations. As much as I like the outcome of yesterday's leaf, I also really like stylised drawings like this one.

While I had the intention of painting something on paper today, I found myself lacking time to really sit down with my watercolours to draw a broomstick.

I still did some watercolouring, but on a different drawing I hadn't finished yet.

For this one I wanted to focus on the brooms. You see, I am working on a project IRL for Halloween. I am going to make my own witch's broom soon. My two youngest boys and I already picked up twigs around the park, and my youngest found a really thick, long branch in the same park which we carried home yesterday! Now I have to find the time and energy, and I will be making a custom broom. The idea came to me when I was looking around online to find an adult sized broom. But everything was plastic, expensive and too small. So I decided to make my own instead! It will be fun to display during spooky season and the rest of autumn, but also as a prop to carry around when we celebrate Halloween! So in a way, I was practicing today, to see what kind of broom would look nice. 😄

What do you think? Which broom is the best one of these 3?

As much as I love all three, I think I will stick with the first one on the left. The plain brown one, the classic broom.
