Classic Toon Warmup: The Flintstones and Adobe Character Animator

Classic Toon Warmup: The Flintstones and Adobe Character Animator

I did a few classic cartoons as warmup on my morning YouTube livestreams this week. The Fred smashing the Adobe Character Animator logo was me venting my frustrations at that counter-intuitive program. In the end it’s pretty much only good for triggering between frames over an audio file. But even then it takes FOREVER to…

Off-Brand Batman: A Drawing Exercise

I generally start out my morning livestreams with no idea what I’m going to draw. Recently, the theme ended up being “off-brand Batman”. The one above ended up kind of looking like Sir Michael Caine. Or…maybe alternate universe Michael Caine. And the last one looks a bit like Booster Gold. Okay, it’s pretty much Booster…

Comic book cover – step by step

Last week I had to draw a comic book cover for the next issue of William the Last (published by Antarctic Press.) Below you’ll find the steps from initial thumbnail scribble, to a tighter scribble, to inks (which I did by hand this time), to color. It took an afternoon, and the hardest part is…

Why you are abandoning drawings too quickly

Why you are abandoning drawings too quickly

Sometimes I abandon drawings too quickly. It might be because I’m tired or not feeling into it or any number of subconscious reasons. But sometimes it’s just because I’m lazy and want a solid drawing to appear by instinct rather than working out the sketch and refining it. A good drawing is more satisfying when…

October Monster Roundup

I didn’t get to do every day in October, but I did do quite a few monsters here and there. So here’s your October Monster Roundup. I drew most of them on livestreams and you can watch them on my YouTube channel.

Dino and the Vino

I don’t know about your house, but around here it’s not Christmas until a drunken Dean Martin sings Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Underwater (a.k.a. drowning in deadlines)

Underwater (a.k.a. drowning in deadlines)

Happy Friday everyone. Since I’m drowning in deadlines I thought I’d post something that’s a work in progress involving a girl underwater. Because there’s a connection there…somehow. I liked the sketch and based on the response on Facebook other people seemed to really like it as well, so I thought I would refine it and…
