(to do the line work, I mean; I've tried doing hand-painted backgrounds before, other stuff like that, but this is part of the drawing itself)

Two comic panels: One a scan of original art, the second a finished, colored panel; both show a hand using a rayon to draw on wood. The lines made by the crayon in the drawing look like they were made by a crayon (they were), the rest are pure black-and-white line-based representational drawing

Nearly twenty years in and I think this page is the first time I've used anything other than ink or white ink/paint on an original (in this case, crayon)

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that how it suggests that there's an eye under it even though there's no color. The more I look at it the more I'm leaning towards nothing except for Maybe close-ups.

three of the same drawings, a lock of hair half falling over the character's eye in each. The first has no color differentiation between the eye and the hair, the second a very slight differentiation (an overlay of 10%), the third a slightly more pronounces differentiation (45%).

Starting to color final pages and realized I never figured on exactly how I'm going to handle seeing-an-eye-through-hair coloring of the lead. I'm about 99% sure I'm gonna go with option B here, but I reckoned I'd show y'all my tester

I taught a character design class where the students got to design their own PokΓ©mon. Here’s my little dude.

I’m available for a handful of commissioned pieces, if anyone’s interested in some original artwork! Most of the spots have already been snagged, and I have just 4 remainingβ€” holler at Sean at @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social but don’t sleep on it. (Bonus enthusiasm for any X-Men related requests!)

They should make a form of knighthood that isn’t bestowed by a government or monarchy or religious institution. There should be Knights of the Common People and they should be allowed to carry swords at the mall.

This is just one man’s opinion but if you are a cartoonist that is like model hot it should be against the law for you to draw yourself as some dumpy turnip troll

You can have different self confidence problems but stop appropriating mine, hotto

celebrate antifascist  
fighters like Lepa Radic. Born 1925 in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia, she was executed by Nazis at age 17. Nazis offered her a deal-life spared if she'd snitch on her comrades. She replied "My comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge me

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

I wish more collections were released in black and white like these. I learned so much looking at inks-only kurtzman and Davis pages (and those same format Scrooge books)

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I only did 'til I hit adolescence! After that, I think I had one one-liner around fifteen or so 'cause they needed bodies.
