Exploring the hand. A journal comic about my exploration of figure drawing with lessons on from anatomy and observation.

I am exploring more on anatomy and recording my progress as a comic.

A nice way to make a gesture for friends and family has been to draw cards for events like birthdays and Christmas. My latest idea had been to use sign language. Here, I can exercise some practice with

Hi Hive, Glad to see everyone here. I have a new page up on Webtoons for my webcomic "Threshold" This was a whole new coloring technique for me. I laid out flat colors in Inkscape first. Then,

Here's the costume that my main character is hoping to use to disguise as a human. Of course I designed this way before the coronavirus became a global pandemic. Now would that make it easier or harder

I see that cool Instagram artists have a nice two or one finger glove that protects them from accidentally touching or triggering the touch screen display while drawing with their pressure-sensitive pen.

Threshold #1: Ghreetings Also posted on Webtoons About Threshold Our main character is an alien who just wants to be human. A scifi/slice-of-life story. Author's note: Hi! After a soft reboot, I published

We are traveling and have a slight delay. Perfect time to sketch a little. The Shangri-La hotel lobby and restaurants feature tall open spaces. It's warm and windy today. There was a brief shower during

It's a new year and time to focus. The challenge of comics has been that I've always wanted the big show. I want to draw and write a piece of work that stands next to all of the large 192-page, authored,

I used Calligraphr (calligraphr.com) which let me print out a template and write out the letters (aka glyphs) on paper. Next, I followed the instructions on the site to upload pictures of my template via

This is a close up of my panel. All of the artwork is converted to vectors. The figures are drawn in raster via Mischief, copy and pasted into Inkscape. There, it is converted and the black background

Added the aforementioned background. Inking blacks with vector graphics is like instant gratification.

I'm looking for a design to guide my background work. The setting is a spaceship, but the internal feel of it until now is a blank canvas. I feel like picking a pattern is easier than designing a spaceship.

A delayed post from my Twitter. I think that the key to progress is to decide when you are done with the current step. If I do not do this, I will be constantly tempted to revisit and revise. Moving forward,

Feels intimate to hold my tablet and just write dialogue. Is this my regular method now? Twitter

Get a nice resolution image to work with Open the image in Inkscape Path -> Trace Bitmap Play with settings here -- this really depends e.g. Brightness Cutoff .45 or 2 or 3 by color Click Start Ungroup

For me, I don't have a strict script that I am following. Instead, I have dialogue but no description of the environment -- largely because it hard to write a description of a background for me. Because

Working on a new idea for a comic and keeping busy with just the small steps. I've created an associated Twitter account to touch base with the comics creating community as well. Come visit me here:

A little delayed on posting, but I hope these will be fun to see nonetheless.
