Day 3 of my interactive art project!

Hello! Once again the rules are the same as last time, as in there are none! Everyone is welcome! Anyone that wants to can do whatever they want to the canvas! They can add or change anything they wish! The canvas is now vertical because I was worried people would get bored if I kept giving them basically the exact same blank canvas- someone could change that too and turn it sideways again if they wanted actually lol

Today I just drew a little doodle of Moon, and I was too lazy to color her-
