Making some progress on the comic! Starting off with some thumbnails to get a rough sense of the panel timing and colors.

Quick colored roughs of a comic. There’s a character on a beach with some crabs in front of a lighthouse, but you can’t tell what’s going on yet cause there’s no text and it’s all sketchy

One bonkers feature is that you can actually pose the hands with a webcam!

Modeled/Textured and generated a rudimentary rig for my own #ClipStudio drawing mannequin! I really wanted something that was the exact proportion of my comic character. Hoping to create a custom rig on the next pass, and get the other two main characters in now that I understand the process. #3dart

Whoever made this stinks on ice! Our 6 year old is reading at a level well beyond her years because of many of the books on this list. Honestly, this Cat Kid comic club story should be required reading it's so powerful.

Made my own Miro for my personal comic project. Current compilation of character and environment sketches (not seen: a web of messy stickynotes where I'm working out the plot lolol)

Screenshot of a miro board containing images of several characters and environments done in a cartoony style.

More vis dev for the comic idea! Currently compiling sketches and ideas on a board to figure it out. Some characters came together quickly! These are the Sea Serpent twins Lorelay and Zelos (names tbd)

Big props to the team that worked on rendering the character surfaces in Dream Productions, cause me and my daughter can't stop talking about how we wanna eat these sparkly Lil' jellybeans and theorizing what flavor they all would be XD

Screenshot from Dream productions where all the delicious jelly bean characters are looking at a memory.

Recent studies where I trolled around on Pinterest for poses and then applied them to a single character. Also been taking a wonderful #schoolism course on gesture drawing (Alex Woo) every morning instead of consuming any news and it’s been awesome :)

Bunch of sketches of a cartoony character in various poses. Sitting/leaning/reading attempting to convey a mood or action

My therapist wanted me to try some art therapy, and told me to illustrate what it looks like when I have racing thoughts at night. Special guest star Robin, who usually has a pretty good sleep ;)

Started a new lunch exercise instead of watching the news. I call it Pinterest Practice, where I just pull up Pinterest alongside procreate and draw from whatever photos it serves up.

Sketched a lil Beet dude, tried to keep this loose cause I have a tendency to overdo it and lose the character. #illustration #characterdesign

I am a very sophisticated person with only the finest taste in books

I'm an idiot, and I figured out if I put paper strategically over certain letters in a book called 30,000 years of art, I could make it say 30,000 year old fart

Didn't post about my random side doll making hobby on the other site, but I figure, what the hell right? Sup #dollsky, I sculpt and 3D print dolls sometimes for fun...one of them may or may not be a #spock bjd in progress...

I think everyone could use a pick me up, so here is the happiest video I have on my phone. This is the first time my daughter smiled. Now she's 5 years old :)

Whenever my thoughts have started to spiral into panic, I've been just sketching in a notebook as a distraction. It helps even more in a physical notebook for the tactile sensation and the bob ross like sounds for grounding myself. Highly recommend.
