Becka Seashols aka Beckadoodles is an illustrator, designer, author, and crafter. She is known for creating extremely cute characters, mostly cats, and drawing adorable fan art from a variety of popular fandoms. She also designs cross stitch patterns and authors kids books and coloring books. Becka started drawing as a kid, imitating comics like Garfield and Peanuts straight out of the Sunday paper. For years she drew her favorite characters like Chewbacca, R2-D2, Strawberry Shortcake, and all the My Little Ponies, in her school notebooks. It was inevitable she would eventually venture into a career as an illustrator and artist.
In 2009, Becka started work on sketchcards for Topps and was finally, officially drawing Chewbacca and R2! And other Star Wars characters too! This was a great accomplishment, since her childhood was filled with paper towel tube lightsaber duels with her big brother, and pig tails turned into Princess Leia buns on the school playground. She spent a lot of time playing out her favorite scenes from memory, since VHS tapes weren’t available for her to rewatch the movies until she was in junior high. So all those scenes were sketched out and colored with crayons and watercolor and taped to her bedroom wall. The love of Star Wars continued into adulthood and was passed down to her son, who was one year old when Phatom Menace was released. They are now both, giant fans of Star Wars and spend a lot of time reading, watching, and drawing their favorite galaxy, far, far away.
Becka is active on social media, has an Etsy shop, and sells t-shirts, and housewares on a variety of websites. She also has a Patreon where you can support her creative endeavors.
