Comic: Dragon With Problems

I’m a facilitator at an after-school writing club for teens (and pre-teens if they know the secret password). I forgot my composition book last week, so I didn’t have anything to write in… except the three sketchbooks in my bag. So I pulled out my new Comics! book, which is comics only, and used our [...]

Sloppy self-portrait

This was just an experiment I did as a warm-up. (Soon you are going to get to see some illustrations, cross my heart, but I’m having technical difficulties so you’re stuck with warm-ups for now.) For anyone curious about what it was I actually did: I sketched my own dumb face chewing on a paintbrush, [...]

I ended up with this: If you don’t know how anglerfish reproduce, you should check out this video. This picture comes with [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012: sketches & a Mad Libs peek at the outline

Some Valentine’s prep work

Yes, it’s a long way off, but I have a brilliant secret plan, and here are a few sneak peeks. First we have the saccharine: And then, as sort of a counter-point:

Orange & Purple

The other day I got all obsessed with these colors together. Here’s some of what I’ve done with them so far: Liquid acrylics & Copic markers (not like you were surprised). Copic & Prismacolor marker, liquid acrylics. I used colors that were too similar to do the patterns on the owl–they just look like marker [...]

OWLS!!

More owls:
