Drawing on inspiration
The Journal
|August 16, 2025
Supa Nova is the new graphic novel taking the indie book scene by storm. Creator CHANTÉ TIMOTHY tells us about it...
How do you decide what you want to draw and write about? I drew a picture of a little scientist that turned out to be Supa Nova all the way back in 2019, but she had no story. All I knew was that she liked science and to invent things.
I love to learn about trivial facts and scientific discoveries, when I found out about the plastic-eating meal worms and mushrooms it all clicked. Nova had her first of many adventures.
They say write about things that interest you, that's how I came about writing Supa Nova.
How did you get good at drawing?
I drew LOADS. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and most of the time I was terrible. But it was always fun. I practised and practised, drawing things I had around me, people I knew and I learnt drawing techniques from others online.
