This Girl Takes Mirror Selfies To The Next Level

The talented illustrator started this amusing hobby by leaving funny mirror notes written and drawn with a lipstick for her roommate. One thing led to another and this nice habit became a full-speed artistic hobby.
“To get my mirror selfies to fit right, it’s kind of funny because some of them really look so weird, especially when I have ‘guests in the mirror’ we just crack up so much, then you have to take a few, ” explains the young artist. “ Normally, it takes less than 30 min to draw, but I can really get lost in the process and enjoy it. “
